Answer:Radiologic Dispersal Devices (RDD)

Explanation:

Radiologic Dispersal Device (RDD) is commonly known as dirty bomb. These devices require little more skill than is needed to make a conventional bomb and their components are easier to acquire. RDDs utilize conventional explosives to disperse a radioactive material packaged in the device, as opposed to a nuclear device, which creates radiation with its explosion.

Answer:

Explanation:

If no Energy is lost ( either as Sound energy or any other energy) the total energy of ball A equals the total energy of ball B

Therefore the Kinetic Energy of Ball B equals the Total Energy of Ball A minus the Potential Energy of Ball A

Inessa [10]

In order to make things easier to describe and explain, let's call
the resistance of each bulb 'R', and the battery voltage 'V'.

a). In series, the total resistance is 3R.
In parallel, the total resistance is R/3.
Changing from series to parallel, the total resistance of the circuit
decreases to 1/9 of its original value.

b). In series, the total current is V / (3R) .
In parallel, the total current is 3V / R .
Changing from series to parallel, the total current in the circuit
increases to 9 times its original value.

c). In series, the power dissipated by the circuit is

(V) · V/3R = V² / 3R .

In parallel, the power dissipated by the circuit is

(V) · 3V/R = 3V² / R .

Changing from series to parallel, the power dissipated by
the circuit (also the power delivered by the battery) increases
to 9 times its original value.

Describe the motion of a swing that requires 6 seconds to complete one cycle. What is its period and the frequency? Round to the

shutvik [7]

Period = 6 seconds and $frequency = 0.167Hz$ .

<u>Explanation:</u>

We have , the motion of a swing that requires 6 seconds to complete one cycle. Period is the amount of time needed to complete one oscillation . And in question it's given that 6 seconds is needed to complete one cycle. Hence ,Period of the motion of a swing is 6 seconds . Frequency is the number of vibrations produced per second and is calculated with the formula of $\frac{1}{t}$ . SI unit of frequency is Hertz or Hz. We know that time period is 6 seconds so frequency = $\frac{1}{t}$
