Answer:

The force of the radiation on the surface is 3.33 x 10⁻¹⁰ N

Explanation:

Given;

intensity of light, I = 1kw/m² = 1000 W/m²

area of the surface, A = 1 cm² = 1 x 10⁻⁴ m²

Since the light is completely absorbed, the force of the radiation is given by;

F = P/c

where;

c is the speed of light = 3 x 10⁸ m/s

But P = IA

F = IA /c

F = (1000 X 1 X 10⁻⁴) / 3 x 10⁸

F = 3.33 x 10⁻¹⁰ N

Therefore, the force of the radiation on the surface is 3.33 x 10⁻¹⁰ N

1. What is the bond angle between the hydrogen atoms in an ammonia (NH3) molecule? 2. What is the bond angle between the oxygen
Klio2033 [76]

The answer is 107 degrees. The geometric shape for ammonia is Trigonal Pyramidal, even though its electron geometry is “Tetrahedral”. This is because ammonia has a lone pair of electrons that occupy its space like the other 3 hydrogens in the geometric structure.

The answer 180 degrees. This is because of the linear geometric structure of carbon dioxide. The oxygen atom is on either side of the carbon atom, each is bound by a double covalent bond. All the atoms are involved in the bond and there are no one pair electrons.

The answer is tetrahedral geometry. This is because all the 4 valence electrons of the carbon are involved in a bond with a hydrogen atom. The angles in a tetrahedral geometric arrangement, such as in methane, is 109.5 degrees, where the hydrogen atoms are as far apart, from each other, as possible .

gregori [183]

Complete Question

Potassium is a crucial element for the healthy operation of the human body. Potassium occurs naturally in our environment and thus our bodies) as three isotopes: Potassium-39, Potassium-40, and Potassium-41. Their current abundances are 93.26%, 0.012% and 6.728%. A typical human body contains about 3.0 grams of Potassium per kilogram of body mass. 1. How much Potassium-40 is present in a person with a mass of 80 kg? 2. If, on average, the decay of Potassium-40 results in 1.10 MeV of energy absorbed, determine the effective dose (in Sieverts) per year due to Potassium-40 in an 80- kg body. Assume an RBE of 1.2. The half-life of Potassium-40 is 1.28 * 10^9years.

Answer:

The potassium-40 present in 80 kg is  Z = 0.0288 *10^{-3}\ kg

The effective dose absorbed per year is  x = 2.06 *10^{-24} per year

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

      The mass of potassium in 1 kg of human body is m =  3g= \frac{3}{1000} =  3*10^{-3} \ kg

      The mass of the person is M = 80 \ kg

       The abundance of Potassium-39 is   93.26%

        The abundance of Potassium-40 is   0.012%

         The abundance of Potassium-41 is   6.78 %

         The energy absorbed is  E =  1.10MeV = 1.10 *10^{6} * 1.602 *10^{-19} = 1.7622*10^{-13} J

Now  1 kg of human body contains       3.0*10^{-3}\ kg of  Potassium

So      80 kg of human body contains      k kg of  Potassium

=>   k = \frac{ 80 * 3*10^{-3}}{1}

     k = 0.240\  kg

Now from the question potassium-40 is  0.012% of the total  potassium so

     Amount of potassium-40  present is mathematically represented as

            Z = \frac{0.012}{100}  * 0.240

            Z = 0.0288 *10^{-3}\ kg

The effective dose (in Sieverts) per year due to Potassium-40 in an 80- kg body is mathematically evaluated as

           D =  \frac{E}{M}

Substituting values

          D =  \frac{1.7622*10^{-13}}{80}

            D =  2.2*10^{-15} J/kg

Converting to Sieverts

We have

           D_s = REB * D

           D_s = 1.2 * 2.2 *10^{-15}

           D_s =  2.64 *10^{-15}

So

     for half-life (1.28 *10^9 \ years)  the dose is  2.64 *10^{-15}

     Then for 1  year the dose would be  x

=>         x = \frac{2.64 *10^{-15}}{1.28 * 10^9}

             x = 2.06 *10^{-24} per year
