Answer:

C) Radon

Explanation:

Humans are terrified of radiation attack but we are unaware that we face radiations from a lot of natural sources which includes food and water. But their level is low and thus do not have any major impact on our body.

As per US Nuclear Regulatory Commission,on an average, an American faces a radiation of 620 millirem each year. Out of this 50% is because of Natural background radiation. Majority of this radiation is due to Radon in the air, with small contribution (around 30 millirem) from Cosmic rays and even smaller contribution from Earth itself.

How much force is needed to keep the 750000 Newton Space Shuttle moving at a constant speed of 28000 km/h, in a straight line?
Alika [10]

The force needed to keep the space shuttle moving at constant speed is 0.

The given parameters;

  • <em>weight of the space shuttle, F = 750,000 N</em>
  • <em>constant speed of the space shuttle, v = 28,000 km/h</em>

The mass of the space shuttle is calculated as follows;

W = mg\\\\m = \frac{W}{g} \\\\m = \frac{750,000}{9.8} \\\\m = 76,530.61 \ kg

The force needed to keep the space shuttle moving at constant speed is calculated as follows;

F = ma

F = 76,530.61 \times a

where;

a is the acceleration of the space shuttle

At a constant speed, acceleration is zero.

F = 76,530.61 x 0

F = 0

Thus, the force needed to keep the space shuttle moving at constant speed is 0.
