Answer:Radon.

Explanation: The main source of Radon is the Gaseous decay of Uranium found in the rocks into Radium, Radium also undergoes direct radioactive decay into RADON it is usually found in the rocks.

Radon is a radioactive noble gas that is colourless,odourless and tasteless, it has an atomic number of 86. Inhaling Radon is very toxic and poisonous to the health of man as it leads to different forms of breathing issues, it lead to thightening of the chest, difficulty swallowing etc.

What happens in the gray zone between solid and liquid?

Reil [10]

Answer:

Hence from liquid to solid or solid to liquid the transition has to cross the grey zone. This grey zone transition is is very crucial which includes the intermolecular forces acting on the molecules and each atoms which makes the change in state from hot to cold and cold to hot.

Planet 1 orbits Star 1 and Planet 2 orbits Star 2 in circular orbits of the same radius. However, the orbital period of Planet 1

hichkok12 [17]

Answer:

The mass of Star 2 is Greater than the mass of Start 1. (This, if we suppose the masses of the planets are much smaller than the masses of the stars)

Explanation:

First of all, let's draw a free body diagram of a planet orbiting a star. (See attached picture).

From the free body diagram we can build an equation with the sum of forces between the start and the planet.

$\sum F=ma$

We know that the force between two bodies due to gravity is given by the following equation:

$F_{g} = G\frac{m_{1}m_{2}}{r^{2}}$

in this case we will call:

M= mass of the star

m= mass of the planet

r = distance between the star and the planet

G= constant of gravitation.

so:

$F_{g} =G\frac{Mm}{r^{2}}$

Also, if the planet describes a circular orbit, the centripetal force is given by the following equation:

$F_{c}=ma_{c}$

where the centripetal acceleration is given by:

$a_{c}=\omega ^{2}r$

where

$\omega = \frac{2\pi}{T}$

Where T is the period, and $\omega$ is the angular speed of the planet, so:

$a_{c} = ( \frac{2\pi}{T})^{2}r$

or:

$a_{c}=\frac{4\pi^{2}r}{T^{2}}$

so:

$F_{c}=m(\frac{4\pi^{2}r}{T^{2}})$

so now we can do the sum of forces:

$\sum F=ma$

$F_{g}=ma_{c}$

$G\frac{Mm}{r^{2}}=m(\frac{4\pi^{2}r}{T^{2}})$

in this case we can get rid of the mass of the planet, so we get:

$G\frac{M}{r^{2}}=(\frac{4\pi^{2}r}{T^{2}})$

we can now solve this for $T^{2}$ so we get:

$T^{2} = \frac{4\pi ^{2}r^{3}}{GM}$

We could take the square root to both sides of the equation but that would not be necessary. Now, the problem tells us that the period of planet 1 is longer than the period of planet 2, so we can build the following inequality:

$T_{1}^{2}>T_{2}^{2}$

So let's see what's going on there, we'll call:

$M_{1}$ = mass of Star 1

$M_{2}$ = mass of Star 2

So:

$\frac{4\pi^{2}r^{3}}{GM_{1}}>\frac{4\pi^{2}r^{3}}{GM_{2}}$

we can get rid of all the constants so we end up with:

$\frac{1}{M_{1}}>\frac{1}{M_{2}}$

and let's flip the inequality, so we get:

$M_{2}>M_{1}$

This means that for the period of planet 1 to be longer than the period of planet 2, we need the mass of star 2 to be greater than the mass of star 1. This makes sense because the greater the mass of the star is, the greater the force it applies on the planet is. The greater the force, the faster the planet should go so it stays in orbit. The faster the planet moves, the smaller the period is. In this case, planet 2 is moving faster, therefore it's period is shorter.

Can i get help for the parts for the two questions? MATHPHYSSSS

Anestetic [448]

Explanation:

003 (part 1 of 2)

Pressure is force divided by area.

P = F / A

P = (117 kg × 9.8 m/s²) / (2 × (0.05 m)²)

P = 229,320 Pa

003 (part 2 of 2)

There are approximately 6895 Pa in 1 psi.

P = 229,320 Pa × (1 psi / 6895 Pa)

P = 33.3 psi

004 (part 1 of 2)

Since the collisions are elastic, the angle of reflection is the same as the angle of incidence (it bounces off at the same angle).

Impulse = change in momentum

F Δt = m Δv

F (36 s) = (300 × 0.003 kg) (5.2 sin 57° m/s − (-5.2 sin 57° m/s))

F = 0.218 N

004 (part 2 of 2)

Pressure is force over area.

P = F / A

P = 0.218 N / 0.712 m²

P = 0.306 N/m²

How deep can an object with 6360N hitting on a sponge get ???

borishaifa [10]

Answer:

The sponge must go $\dfrac{636}{m}\ \text{meter}$ deep

Explanation:

If F = 6360 N, then it is required to find how deep can an object with this force hitting on a sponge get.

We know that, F = mgh

m is mass

g is acceleration due to gravity

$h=\dfrac{F}{mg}\\\\h=\dfrac{6360}{10m}\\\\h=\dfrac{636}{m}\ \text{meter}$

So, the sponge must go $\dfrac{636}{m}\ \text{meter}$ deep.
