A nuclear accident (intentional or unintentional) can cause significant harm to those living nearby or at a distance. Harmful le

vels of invisible gamma radiation penetrate the body, not only causing devastating injuries but possibly contaminating others. What type of transmission precaution prevents such person-to-person contamination?
(A) Airborne
(B) Droplet
(C) Contact
(D) Standard

Answer:

(C) Contact

Explanation:

Radiation Poisoning is a horrific disease that is transmitted in many ways. After a nuclear accident radiation is released into the atmosphere becoming airborne and affecting everyone that breathes it in. It is also transmitted in droplets from acid rainfall. Once the gamma radiation penetrates the body of a person it can contaminate other people by having skin to skin contact with the person that is contaminated. Therefore it can be prevented by having precaution of direct contact with anyone contaminated.

A bobsled has a momentum of 3000 kg•m/s to the east. After the rider gives it a push, its momentum increases to 5500 kg•m/s to t
Archy [21]
Impulse, denoted as J, is defined by the change in momentum. Since we have our initial and our final, we can solve for the change in momentum.

J = p_{f} - p_{0} = 5500 - 3000 = 2500

J = 2500 kg*m/s

During the process of _____, two rails or sides break apart and attract new nucleotide bases to form a new and complete strand.
netineya [11]

Answer: The correct answer for the blank is- Replication.

DNA replication is a biological process in which two identical replica of DNA are produced from single original DNA molecule through an enzyme called as DNA polymerase.

The two strands of double helical DNA are first separated ( with the help of helicase enzyme) so that the template DNA strands are exposed. In other words, the two strands are broken apart and attract new nucleotide bases to synthesize a new and complete strand of DNA.

This is done by DNA polymerase according to Watson and Crick base pairing ( A pairs to T, G pairs to C)

What is the repulsive force between two pith balls that are 8.00 cm apart and have equal charges of −25.0 nc? g?
Daniel [21]

To calculate the force between two negative charges, we use the formula which is given by the Coulomb`s Law as

F=\frac{kq_{1}q_{2}  }{r^{2} }

Here, q_{1} andq_{2} are the charges on the pith balls, r is the separation between the charges and k is constant and its value is  8.99\times 10^9 N m^2/C^2.

Given  q_{1} =q_{2} =-25 nC=-25\times 10^{-9}C and  r=8 cm=8\times10^{-2} m.

Substituting these values in above formula we get,

F= 8.99\times 10^9 N m^2/C^2\frac{(-25\times 10^{-9}C)(-25\times 10^{-9}C)}{(8\times10^{-2} m)^2} \\\\\ F= 877929.7\times 10^{-9}  N\\\\F=8.8\times10^{-4}N

Thus, the repulsive force between two pith balls is 8.8\times10^{-4}N.
