Answer:

<h2><em>6000 counts per second</em></h2>

Explanation:

If a sample emits 2000 counts per second when the detector is 1 meter from the sample, then;

2000 counts per second = 1 meter ... 1

In order to know the number of counts per second that would be observed when the detector is 3 meters from the sample, we will have;

x count per second = 3 meter ... 2

Solving the two expressions simultaneously for x we will have;

2000 counts per second = 1 meter

x counts per second = 3 meter

Cross multiply to get x

2000 * 3 = 1* x

6000 = x

<em></em>

<em>This shows that 6000 counts per second would be observed when the detector is 3 meters from the sample</em>

FLASH FLOODS CAN CAUSE VEHICLES TO FLOAT AND FILL WITH WATER, TRAPPING AND DROWNING PEOPLE. WHILE ESPECIALLY DANGEROUS AT NIGHT
levacccp [35]

Answer:

FLASH FLOODS CAN CAUSE VEHICLES TO FLOAT AND FILL WITH WATER, TRAPPING AND DROWNING PEOPLE. WHILE ESPECIALLY DANGEROUS AT NIGHT AND IN DEEP WATER, EVEN ____ INCHES OF WATER CAN FLOAT SOME SMALL CARS.

The Answer is SIX Inches.

Explanation:

Flash floods: are short-term events and are associated with short, high-intensity rainfall which occur when creeks that are normally dry fill up and other creeks overflow. Densely populated areas have a high risk of flash floods. Water levels in flash floods can rise one foot in five minutes making Six inches of water able to reach the bottom of most passenger cars. Moving water will exert pressure on a car. The car floats downstream when stream force exceeds the friction force, the car will be carried when bouyancy force (which is the upward force exerted by any fluid upon a body placed in it) is greater than vehicle weight.

While hammering a nail, you put in 30 Joules of work. The hammer then puts out 10 J of
AfilCa [17]

Answer:

C    Don't worry if you thought it was D. I almost answered that.

Explanation:

Remark

You can get this just by learning the vocabulary.

Efficiency = Work Out / Work In * 100%

Work in = 30J      That's you swinging the hammer.

Work out = 10 J    That's how much of the hammer's work gets to the nail.

Efficiency = (10/30)*100

Efficiency = 1/3 * 100

Efficiency = 33%
