A 25 N force at 60° is required to set a crate into motion on a floor. What is the value of the static friction?
True [87]
The normal force of the force given is calculated through the equation,
 
                                 Fn = F(sin θ)
where Fn is the normal force, F is the force, and θ is the angle. 
  
                                Fn = (25 N)(sin 60°) = 21.65 N

The x-component of the force applied is,
                               Fx = (25 N)(cos 60°) = 12.5 N

The value of the coefficient of static friction is calculated through the equation,
                              F = μFn
                              μ = Fx / Fn = 12.5 N / 21.65 N = 0.577

A 50 kg laboratory worker is exposed to 30 mJ of neutron radiation with an RBE of 10. Part A What is the dose in mSv
lys-0071 [83]

Answer:

The dose is 6 mSV

Explanation:

The absorbed dose (in gray - Gy) is the amount of energy that ionizing radiation deposits per unit mass of tissue. That is,

Absorbed dose = Energy deposited / Mass

while Dose equivalent (DE) (in Seivert -Sv) is given by

DE = Absorbed dose × RBE (Relative biological effectiveness)

First, we will determine the Absorbed dose

From the question, Energy deposited = 30mJ and Mass = 50kg

From,

Absorbed dose = Energy deposited / Mass

Absorbed dose = 30mJ/50kg

Absorbed dose = 0.6 mGy

Now, for the Dose equivalent (DE)

DE = Absorbed dose × RBE

From the question, RBE = 10

Hence,

DE = 0.6mGy × 10

DE = 6 mSv

How is a mesa formed
mina [271]

Mesas form by weathering and erosion of horizontally layered rocks that have been uplifted by tectonic activity. Variations in the ability of different types of rock to resist weathering and erosion cause the weaker types of rocks to be eroded away, leaving the more resistant types of rocks topographically higher than their surroundings. This process is called differential erosion. 

Hope it helps!
