This problem here is an example of inelastic collision where kinetic energy is not conserved but momentum is. We calculate as follows:

m1v1 + m2v2 = (m1 + m2)v3
v3 = m1v1 + m2v2  / m1 + m2
v3 = (30.2)(1000) + (5000)(0) / (30.2 + 5000)
v3 = 6.00 m/s

What are the three important safety factors for surgical technologists to consider when exposed to ionizing radiation?
Gemiola [76]

Answer:

Exposure time limitation, shielding and distance.

Explanation:

  • Limitation of exposure time, since the dose received is directly proportional to the exposure time, so that, at a shorter time, lower dose. For this reason, planning is suggested, to reduce time.
  • Use of shields. This allows a reduction in the dose received by the technician when filtered by the barrier (screen). There are two types of shields or screens, the primary barriers (attenuate the radiation of the primary beam) and the secondary barriers (avoid diffuse radiation).
  • Distance to the radioactive source. The dose received is inversely proportional to the square of the distance to the radioactive source. Therefore, if the distance is doubled, the dose received will decrease by a quarter. Reason for this, it is advisable to use devices or remote controls whenever possible.

What is the part of the sound wave called where molecules are expanded and are farther apart?
Lesechka [4]

Answer:

Rarefactions

Explanation:

The sound waves travel in compressions and rarefactions.

As the name suggests compressions are the areas which particles are closer than their usual positioning.

In rarefactions the vibrating particles can be observed further apart than the usual.

A sample of iron receives 50.J of heat energy that raises the temperature of the iron
tatiyna

Answer: 0.02kg

Explanation:

The quantity of heat energy (Q) required to heat a substance depends on its Mass (M), specific heat capacity (C) and change in temperature (Φ)

Thus, Q = MCΦ

Since,

Q = 50 joules

Mass of iron sample = ? (let unknown value be Z)

C = 100 J/kg°C

Φ = 25°C

Then, Q = MCΦ

50J = Z x 100 J/kg°C x 25°C

50J = 2500J/kg x Z

Z = (50J/2500J/kg)

Z = 0.02kg

Thus, the mass of the iron sample is 0.02kg
