Answer with Explanation:

We are given that

D_1=0.15mGy

D_2=0.22mGy

Q_1=6

Q_2=10

a.We have to find the total dose

Total dose=D=D_1+D_2

Using the formula then, we get

D=0.15+0.22

D=0.37mGy

b.We have to find the total dose equivalent

Total dose equivalent=H=D_1Q_1+D_2Q_2

Using the formula

H=0.15(6)+0.22(10)

H=3.1mSv

A wire is stretched between two posts. Another wire is stretched between two posts that are twice as far apart. The tension in t
Margarita [4]

Answer: 996m/s

Explanation:

Formula for calculating velocity of wave in a stretched string is

V = √T/M where;

V is the velocity of wave

T is tension

M is the mass per unit length of the wire(m/L)

Since the second wire is twice as far apart as the first, it will be L2 = 2L1

Let V1 and V2 be the speed of the shorter and longer wire respectively

V1 = √T/M1... 1

V2 = √T/M2... 2

Since V1 = 249m/s, M1 = m/L1 M2 = m/L2 = m/2L1

The equations will now become

249 = √T/(m/L1) ... 3

V2 = √T/(m/2L1)... 4

From 3,

249² = TL1/m...5

From 4,

V2²= 2TL1/m... 6

Dividing equation 5 by 6 we have;

249²/V2² = TL1/m×m/2TL1

{249/V2}² = 1/2

249/V2 = (1/2)²

249/V2 = 1/4

V2 = 249×4

V2 = 996m/s

Therefore the speed of the wave on the longer wire is 996m/s

The electrons in the beam of a television tube have an energy of 19.0 keV. The tube is oriented so that the electrons move horiz
igomit [66]

Answer:

The direction is due south

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

     The energy of the electron is E = 19.0keV = 19.0 *10^3 eV

      The earths magnetic field is B = 42.3 \muT = 42.3 *10^{-6} T

     

Generally the force on the electron is perpendicular to the velocity of the elecrton and the magnetic field and this is mathematically reresented as

          \= F = q (\= v * \=B)

On the first uploaded image is an  illustration of the movement of the electron

    Looking at the diagram  we can see that in terms of direction  the magnetic force  is

             \= F  =q(\=v * \= B)= -( -\r i * - \r k)

                = -(- (\r i * \r k))

generally  i cross k = -j

      so the equation above becomes

             \= F = -(-(- \r j))

                = - \r j

This show that the direction is towards the south

Your friend says that the second law of thermodynamics can't be true because life itself is a highly ordered system that wouldn'
spayn [35]
This topic is actually quite controversial, but the answer in this case would be C. 

Just some food for thought, the 2nd law of thermodynamics entropy of the universe is always increasing, but that doesn't necessarily mean that earth's entropy has to. As long as the net change in entropy of the universe is increasing it doesn't matter if one planet is decreasing a nominal amount. Next, Earth as said is not a closed system and you could argue that the sunlight and energy from the sun is increasing the total energy within the system that is earth meaning that it is increasing in entropy. Next, if you consider increasing entropy as an increase in the number of possible permutations that the universe or parts of the universe can take, then it is completely possible that an ordered planet and life is possible, although rare. This theory explains why there are so many life forms and why entropy is actually increasing when divergent evolution occurs.

Absolute differences between each observed mass and the accepted value,divided by the accepted value, multiplied by 100%
timama [110]

Answer:

The percentage error    e% = Δm/m 100    

Explanation:

The absolute error is the assessment with which measurements are made, it is given by the minimum reading value of a given instrument.

The accepted value is the value measured in an instrument. Or the one calculated by an experiment.

The percentage error is the ratio of the absolute error between the value of the average per 100

      e% = Δm/m 100
