Mechanical(ME) energy, in physical sciences, is the sum of kinetic energy (KE) and potential energy (PE). Below are the calculation in obtaining the energies,
 
     (1) KE =   0.5mv²     =  0.5(0.1 kg) x (2 m/s)² = 0.2 J
     (2) PE =    md          = (0.1 kg) x (1.5 m)        = 0.15 J
      (3) ME =  KE + PE = 0.2 J + 0.15 J               = 0.35 J

Thus, the mechanical energy is 0.35 Joules.

Two different sources of radiation give the same dose equivalent in Sv. Does this mean that the radiation from each source has t
Alisiya [41]

The product of the dosage Gy and relative biological efficiency yields a radiation dose equivalent Sv (RBE).

Sv =dose in Gy * RBE Sv=dose in GyRBE

The quantity of ionising energy absorbed by 1 text kg1 kg of tissue is defined as a radiation dose Gy. While RBE is a measure of a specific dose's biological effect relative to the biological effect of an equal quantity of X rays.

<h3>What is radiation?</h3>

Radiation is energy that moves through space at the speed of light from a source. This energy is coupled with an electric and magnetic field, and it exhibits wave-like qualities. Radiation is sometimes known as "electromagnetic waves."

Nature has a diverse variety of electromagnetic radiation. One example is visible light.

X-rays and gamma rays are extremely energetic. They may take electrons from atoms when they engage with them, causing the atom to become ionised.
