X-rays with high photon energies (above 5–10keV, below 0.2–0.1nm wavelength) are called hard X-rays, while those with lower energy (and longer wavelength) are called soft X-rays. Due to their penetrating ability, hard X-rays are widely used to image the inside of objects, e.g., in medical radiography and airport security. By contrast, soft X-rays are easily absorbed in air; the attenuation length of 600 eV (~2nm) X-rays in water is less than 1 micrometer.

hope this helps

From newtons second law of motion,
F=ma hence,
F=20N
m=5kg so,

A Physics question regarding circuits and electricity.
Rom4ik [11]
Assuming all three bulbs are connected properly with their conductivity creating a circuit, if one is unscrewed all bulbs would shut off causing zero emission of light to be displaced. Meaning answer D would be the closest to the right response.

Hope this helps! :)

hoa [83]

Answer:

Q = +1.4 pC

Explanation:

  • The capacitance of any capacitor, by definition, is as follows:
  •  C = \frac{Q}{V} (1)
  • Applying Gauss'Law and the definition of electric potential, it can be showed that the capacitance of a parallel-plate capacitor can be expressed as follows:
  •  C = \frac{\epsilon_{r}*\epsilon_{0} * A}{d} (2)
  • Where εr is the dielectric constant of the material that fills the space between the plates, A is the area of one of the plates, and d, is the separation between them.
  • Replacing by the givens in (2) we can find the value of the capacitance C, as follows:

       C = \frac{\ 4.4*8.85e-12C2/N*m2*7.1e-9m2}{1.5e-8m} = 18.4e-12 F = 18.4 pF

  • Replacing the values of C and V in (1), we can solve for Q, as follows:

       Q = C*V = 18.4e-12 F* 75.9e-3 V = 1.4e-12 C = +1.4 pC

  • As the outer surface is at a higher potential that the inside surface, the charge on it must be positive, and is equal to +1.4 pC.

describe what happens in terms of energy when you blow up a ballon and release it without trying its neck​
const2013 [10]

Answer:

The answer is below

Explanation:

When a gallon is blown the air energy is saved as potential energy which is compressed inside the balloon. However, when the balloon is released without trying its neck, the air energy quickly turned to kinetic energy, in which the air energy keeps moving as the balloon float around the space.

Hence, in short, what happens in terms of energy when you blow up a balloon and release it without trying its neck​ is that the air energy moves from potential energy to kinetic energy.
