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

Which of these experiments tests a chemical property of an object??
Ilia_Sergeevich [38]
<span>B. shining a bright light on the objects and testing for decomposition </span> <span>      

In explanation, chemical property is a characteristic of a certain substance came from an outcome due to chemical change or reaction. In the situation above, more specifically toxicity is involved in the chemical property/change. Hence, when the object is tested for decomposition. Like for an example of decomposition simply in metals, rusting. Rusting a process of degeneration of metals. Here it works the same. Toxicity is how much damage did a certain entity do to the object. </span>

You are planning to make an open rectangular box from an 8-inch by 15-inch piece of cardboard by cutting congruent squares from
Phoenix [80]

Let us say that x is the cut that we will make on the sides to make a box, therefore the new dimensions are:

l = 15 – 2x

w = 8 – 2x

It is 2x since we cut on two sides.

 

We know that volume is:

V = l w x

V = (15 – 2x) (8 – 2x) x

V = 120x – 30x^2 – 16x^2 + 4x^3

V = 120x – 46x^2 + 4x^3

 

Taking the 1st derivative:

dV/dx = 120 – 92x + 12x^2

 

Set dV/dx = 0 to get maxima:

120 – 92x + 12x^2 = 0

 

Divide by 12:

x^2 – (92/12)x + 10 = 0

(x – (92/24))^2 = -10 + (92/24)^2

x - 92/24 = ±2.17

x = 1.66, 6

We cannot have x = 6 because that will make our w negative, so:

x = 1.66 inches

 

So the largest volume is:

V = 120x – 46x^2 + 4x^3

V = 120(1.66) – 46(1.66)^2 + 4(1.66)^3

V = 90.74 cubic inches

Find the mass of a 52.2N bucket.​
Goshia [24]

Answer:

m = 5.22 kg

Explanation:

The force acting on the bucket is 52.2 N.

We need to find the mass of the bucket.

The force acting on the bucket is given by :

F = mg

g is acceleration due to gravity

m is mass

m=\dfrac{F}{g}\\\\m=\dfrac{52.2}{10}\\\\=5.22\ kg

So, the mass of the bucket is 5.22 kg.
