In the diagnostic radiology energy range (which includes mammography) from 23 to 150 kVp, which of the following tissues possess

es the greatest ability to absorb radiant energy through the process of photoelectric absorption?

Answer:

Bone

Explanation:

Diagnostic radiology include the use of non-invasive imaging scans to diagnose a patient.

The voltages used in diagnostic tubes range from roughly 20 kV to 150 kV and thus the highest energies of the X-ray photons range from roughly 20 keV to 150 keV.

The tests and equipment used sometimes involves low doses of radiation to create highly detailed images of an area.

Dahasolnce [82]

<span>A substance that accelerates the rate of chemical reaction is called a catalyst. It serves as an alternative pathway for the reaction product. The increase of rate of chemical reaction is because catalyst has low activiation energy than the original pathway. The low activation energy will increase the amount of molecules that can benefit in the energy created by the catalyst.</span>

When the pendulum bob reaches the mean position, the net force acting on it is zero. Why then does it swing past the mean positi

ryzh [129]

Answer:

<u>The pendulum bob swing past the mean position because:</u>

When a pendulum's bob is accelerating at its extreme position its velocity is zero. Due to the restoring toque the bob starts to accelerates towards its mean postion. The maximum acceleration of the pendulum's bob is $-w^{2} A$ and the the acceleration decreases as $-w^{2} x$ towards the mean position.

The acceleration at the mean position becomes zero but the velocity remains maximum. Hence the bob continues to move and does not stops.Thus it can summarised as the force decreases ,acceleration decreases and velocity increases at slow rate.

An airliner arrives at the terminal, and its engines are shut off. The rotor of one of the engines has an initial clockwise angu

Ilia_Sergeevich [38]

(a) 1200 rad/s

The angular acceleration of the rotor is given by:

$\alpha = \frac{\omega_f - \omega_i}{t}$

where we have

$\alpha = -80.0 rad/s^2$ is the angular acceleration (negative since the rotor is slowing down)

$\omega_f$ is the final angular speed

$\omega_i = 2000 rad/s$ is the initial angular speed

t = 10.0 s is the time interval

Solving for $\omega_f$ , we find the final angular speed after 10.0 s:

$\omega_f = \omega_i + \alpha t = 2000 rad/s + (-80.0 rad/s^2)(10.0 s)=1200 rad/s$

(b) 25 s

We can calculate the time needed for the rotor to come to rest, by using again the same formula:

$\alpha = \frac{\omega_f - \omega_i}{t}$

If we re-arrange it for t, we get:

$t = \frac{\omega_f - \omega_i}{\alpha}$

where here we have

$\omega_i = 2000 rad/s$ is the initial angular speed

$\omega_f=0$ is the final angular speed

$\alpha = -80.0 rad/s^2$ is the angular acceleration

Solving the equation,

$t=\frac{0-2000 rad/s}{-80.0 rad/s^2}=25 s$

The potential at location A is 382 V. A positively charged particle is released there from rest and arrives at location B with a

jarptica [38.1K]

Answer: 247.67 V

Explanation:

Given

Potential At A $V_a=382\ V$

Potential at $V_c=785\ V$

when particle starts from A it reaches with velocity $v_b$ at Point while when it starts from C it reaches at point B with velocity $2v_b$

Suppose m is the mass of Particle

Change in Kinetic Energy of particle moving under the Potential From A to B

$q\cdot \left ( V_a-V_b\right )=0.5m\cdot (v_b)^2----1$

Change in Kinetic Energy of particle moving under the Potential From C to B

$q\cdot \left ( V_c-V_b\right )=0.5m\cdot (2v_b)^2-----2$

Divide 1 and 2 we get

$\frac{V_a-V_b}{V_c-V_b}=\frac{v_b^2}{4v_b^2}$

on solving we get

$V_b=\frac{4}{3}\cdot V_a-\frac{1}{3}\cdot V_c$

$V_b=\frac{743}{3}=247.67\ V$
