Most radiation exposure comes from natural sources. These so-called "natural sources" include Radon, Internal, Terrestrial, and Cosmic. Among that, Radon proves to be the largest source of radiation. Radon is a naturally occurring radioactive gas that comes from the breakdown of uranium.

Answer:

d. natural source

Explanation:

When energy is emitteds by a source and travels through a medium until it's absorbed by matter, radiation is occuring. We are exposed to radiation everyday, some sources of radiation are natural and other come from man-made elements. We are commonly exposed to Background radiation, from Earth itself (some minerals) and very few man-made objects. From this type of radiation comes the one we are the most exposed to emitted by Radon and Thoron (radioactive gases which are created when other naturally occurring elements undergo radioactive decay). This gases represent 37% of all the radiation we are commonly exposed to.

GalinKa [24]

Answer:

As a type of thermal power station, a coal-fired power station converts chemical energy stored in coal successively into thermal energy, mechanical energy and, finally, electrical energy. The coal is usually pulverized and then burned in a pulverized coal-fired boiler.Coal-fired plants produce electricity by burning coal in a boiler to produce steam. The steam produced, under tremendous pressure, flows into a turbine, which spins a generator to create electricity.

Can you guys help to understand this graph I'm so confused why I getting wrong?
dedylja [7]
The one fact that needs to be mentioned but isn't given anywhere on or around the graph is: The distance, on the vertical axis, is the distance FROM home. So any point on the graph where the distance is zero ... the point is in the x-axis ... is a point AT home.

Segment D ...
Walking AWAY from home; distance increases as time increases.

Segment B ...
Not walking; distance doesn't change as time increases.

Segment C ...
Walking away from home, but slower than before; distance increases as time increases, but not as fast. Slope is less than segment-D.

Segment A ...
Going home; distance is DEcreasing as time increases. Walking pretty fast ... the slope of the line is steep.
