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.

Distinguish the difference in mass and weight
levacccp [35]
Ok to distinguish the difference you just find out why there's science lol.......anyways.....Mass is the amount of space being taken up in a certain place (or possibly all the world) and weight is the heaviness of an person or thing kk??? also if my answer was best, plzz give brainliest (trust me i need it) Have a great day and Christmas (if u celebrate it)!!

What do you mean by acceleration due to gravity? ​
likoan [24]

It is the acceleration of an object in free fall

Explanation:

When an object is in free fall, it is subjected only to one force: the force of gravity, which pulls the object downward, with a magnitude (near the Earth's surface) which is given by

F=mg

where

m is the mass of the object

g=9.8 m/s^2 is the acceleration due to gravity

We can apply Newton's second law to the object in free fall:

F=ma

where

F is the net force on the object

a is the acceleration of the object

m is the mass

However, since there is only the force of gravity acting on the object, the net force is equal to the force of gravity: so we can equate the two equations, obtaining that

mg = ma\\\rightarrow a = g

Which means that the acceleration of an object in free fall (acted upon the force of gravity only) is equal to the acceleration due to gravity, g=9.8 m/s^2.

What information and measurements would you need to calculate the rate of movement?
aliina [53]
When you talk about rate, you will expect that it will be in terms of a time unit. It measures how fast it is going. So, you would expect that the denominator is in time units. For the movement, you can measure this with either distance or velocity.

So, for the first variety, you would need distance and time to measure the rate of how far you go at a certain time. It is also called as velocity. For the second variety, you would need velocity and time to measure the rate of how fast you are going at a certain interval. It is also called as acceleration.
