Compare and contrast both densely-ionizing and sparsely-ionizing radiation.

Physics
1 answer:
kherson [118]3 years ago
7 0

Explanation:

Radiation biology is the study of the effects of ionizing radiation on living organisms, when this radiation is absorbed in biologic material, ionization and excitations occur in a pattern that depends on the type of radiation involved, considering how far the primary ionization events are separated in space, radiation can be sparsely ionizing (for example, an x-ray or a gamma-ray) or densely ionizing (for example, a proton or an alpha particles).

<em>DNA is the most critical biological target because of the limited redundancy of the genetic information it contains, most lesions are reparable, but those produced by densely ionizing radiation are generally less reparable than those produced by sparsely ionizing radiation. Densely ionizing (high LET) radiations, therefore, typically have a higher relative biological effectiveness.</em>

I hope you find this information useful and interesting! Good luck!

During a tornado in 2008 the Peachtree Plaza Westin Hotel in downtown Atlanta suffered damage. Suppose a piece of glass dropped
Darina [25.2K]

Answer:

Time = t = 6.62 s

Explanation:

Given data:

Height = h = 215 m

Initial velocity = v_{i} = 0 m/s

gravitational acceleration = g = 9.8 m/s²

Time = t = ?

According to second equation of motion

                            h = v_{i}t + \frac{1}{2}gt^{2}

As initial velocity is zero, So the first term of right hand side of above equation equal to zero.

                                 h = \frac{1}{2}gt^{2}

                                        t² = \frac{2h}{g}

                                         t =\sqrt{\frac{2h}{g} }

                                         t = \sqrt{\frac{(2)(215) }{9.8} }

                                         t = 6.62 s

Question 4 (18 marks) (a) During a Physics Lab experiment, 1 st year SFY students analyzed the behavior of capacitors by connect
Nataly_w [17]

Answer:

1.) 274.5v

2.) 206.8v

Explanation:

1.) Given that In one part of the lab activities, students connected a 2.50 µF capacitor to a 746 V power source, whilst connected a second 6.80 µF capacitor to a 562 V source.

The potential difference and charge across EACH capacitor will be

V = Voe

Where Vo = initial voltage

e = natural logarithm = 2.718

For the first capacitor 2.50 µF,

V = Vo × 2.718

746 = Vo × 2.718

Vo = 746/2.718

Vo = 274.5v

To calculate the charge, use the below formula.

Q = CV

Q = 2.5 × 10^-6 × 274.5

Q = 6.86 × 10^-4 C

For the second capacitor 6.80 µF 

V = Voe

562 = Vo × 2.718

Vo = 562/2.718

Vo = 206.77v

The charge on it will be

Q = CV

Q = 6.8 × 10^-6 × 206.77

Q = 1.41 × 10^-3 C

B.) Using the formula V = Voe again

165 = Vo × 2.718

Vo = 165 /2.718

Vo = 60.71v

Q = C × 60.71

Q = C
