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.

You calculate the density of a block of aluminum to be 2.68 g/cm3. You look up the density of a block of aluminum at room temper
Hunter-Best [27]

Answer:

Systematic errors.

Explanation:

The density of the aluminium was calculated by a human and this is not natural but can be due to errors in the calibration of the scale for measuring the weight or taking readings from the measuring cylinder.

Random errors are natural errors. Random errors in experimental measurements are caused by unknown and unpredictable changes in the experiment. Systematic errors are due to imprecision or problems with instruments.

Efficiency is defined as the ratio between the useful output over the total amount consumed. E = \frac{useful}{total}

The fan does 500W of useful work while wasting 300 W. The total power consumption is 800 W (500 + 300).
