Which of these are considered an oxidizing mutagenic agent? x–rays benzopyrene gamma rays

1 answer:

7 0

X - rays are considered an oxidizing mutagenic agent. X-rays are high energy electrons that can cause damage when exposed under extreme conditions. The best technology that can block it is t using a lightweight type of metal foam. It can take in high energy collisions which also exhibits high forces. it does not only block x-rays but also, neutron radiation and gamma rays.

lasers 1 and 2 emit light of the same color, and the electric field in the beam of laser 1 is twice as strong as the e-field of

bonufazy [111]

Answer:

The intensity of laser 2 is 4 times of the intensity of laser 1.

Explanation:

The intensity in terms of electric field is given by :

$U=\dfrac{1}{2}\epsilon_o E^2$

E is electric field

It means, $U\propto E^2$

In this problem, lasers 1 and 2 emit light of the same color, and the electric field in the beam of laser 1 is twice as strong as the e-field of laser 2.

Let E is electric field in the beam of laser 1 and E' is the electric field in the beam of laser 2. So,

$\dfrac{U}{U'}=(\dfrac{E}{E'})^2$

We have,

E'=2E

So,

$\dfrac{U}{U'}=\dfrac{E^2}{(2E)^2}\\\\\dfrac{U}{U'}=\dfrac{E^2}{4E^2}\\\\\dfrac{U}{U'}=\dfrac{1}{4}\\\\U'=4\times U$

So, the intensity of laser 2 is 4 times of the intensity of laser 1.

A 12000 kg train engine moving at 2.2 m/s hits and locks into 3 boxcars with a total mass of 25000 kg sitting still. If the coll

PilotLPTM [1.2K]

Answer:

V = 0.714m/s

Explanation:

Full solution calculation can be found in the attachment below.

From the principle of conservation of linear momentum, the sum of momentum before collision equals the sum of momentum after collision.

Before collision only the train had momentum. After the collision the train and the boxcars stick together and move as one body. The initial momentum of the train is now shared with the boxcars as they move together as one body. The both move with a common velocity v.

See the attachment below for the solution calculation.

A neurogenic bladder is a urinary problem caused by interference with the normal __________ associated with urination.

Elena L [17]

Answer:

nerve pathways

Explanation:

It is called Neurogenic Bladder (VN) to any alteration of bladder behavior due to a pathology of the central and / or peripheral nervous system. It may consist of the loss of storage and / or urine disposal capabilities. Thus, a lesion in the upper centers causes variation in storage capacity, but if peripheral innervation is affected, loss of emptying capacity occurs. In the case of patients with spinal cord injury (ML) there are changes in both at the same time.

The aqueduct passes under Johnson Road in Lancaster through a siphon. The maximum capacity of the aqueduct is 350 m3/s. The heig

Mariulka [41]

Answer:

D ≈ 8.45 m

L ≈ 100.02 m

Explanation:

Given

Q = 350 m³/s (volumetric water flow rate passing through the stretch of channel, maximum capacity of the aqueduct)

y₁ - y₂ = h = 2.00 m (the height difference from the upper to the lower channels)

x = 100.00 m (distance between the upper and the lower channels)

We assume that:

the upper and the lower channels are at the same pressure (the atmospheric pressure).
the velocity of water in the upper channel is zero (v₁ = 0 m/s).
y₁ = 2.00 m (height of the upper channel)
y₂ = 0.00 m (height of the lower channel)
g = 9.81 m/s²
ρ = 1000 Kg/m³ (density of water)

We apply Bernoulli's equation as follows between the point 1 (the upper channel) and the point 2 (the lower channel):

P₁ + (ρ*v₁²/2) + ρ*g*y₁ = P₂ + (ρ*v₂²/2) + ρ*g*y₂

Plugging the known values into the equation and simplifying we get

Patm + (1000 Kg/m³*(0 m/s)²/2) + (1000 Kg/m³)*(9.81 m/s²)*(2 m) = Patm + (1000 Kg/m³*v₂²/2) + (1000 Kg/m³)*(9.81 m/s²)*(0 m)

⇒ v₂ = 6.264 m/s

then we apply the formula

Q = v*A ⇒ A = Q/v ⇒ A = Q/v₂

⇒ A = (350 m³/s)/(6.264 m/s)

⇒ A = 55.873 m²

then, we get the diameter of the pipe as follows

A = π*D²/4 ⇒ D = 2*√(A/π)

⇒ D = 2*√(55.873 m²/π)

⇒ D = 8.434 m ≈ 8.45 m

Now, the length of the pipe can be obtained as follows

L² = x² + h²

⇒ L² = (100.00 m)² + (2.00 m)²

⇒ L ≈ 100.02 m
