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.

Many of water's emergent properties, such as its cohesion, its high specific heat, and its high heat of vaporization, result fro
Bingel [31]

Answer:

Option 5.

Explanation:

Many of the properties of water like high specific heat, cohesion, high vaporization heat, etc can be contributed to the polar nature of water molecule.

Water being a polar molecule as it contains positively charged hydrogen and an electro-negative oxygen which results in uneven or non uniformity in sharing of electrons which leads to dipole formation and hence polarization of the molecule due to which it attracts its neighboring molecules.

This polar nature imparts the properties like cohesion, surface tension , adhesion, etc due to the presence of hydrogen bonds in water molecule.

You are standing on a large sheet of frictionless ice and holding a large rock. In order to get off the ice, you throw the rock
kondor19780726 [428]

Answer:

0.4778 m/s

Explanation:

To solve this question, we will make use of law of conservation of momentum.

We are given that the rock's velocity is 12 m/s at 35°. Thus, the horizontal component of this velocity is;

V_x = (12 m/s)(cos(35°)) = 9.83 m/s.

Thus, the horizontal component of the rock's momentum is;

(3.5 kg)(9.83 m/s) = 34.405 kg·m/s.

Since the person is not pushed up off the ice or down into it, his momentum will have no vertical component and so his momentum will have the same magnitude as the horizontal component of the rock's momentum.

Thus, to get the person's speed, we know that; momentum = mass x velocity

Mass of person = 72 kg and we have momentum as 34.405 kg·m/s

Thus;

34.405 = 72 x velocity

Velocity = 34.405/72

Velocity = 0.4778 m/s

The sun’s___and the planet’s___keeps planets moving is___orbits.
Sauron [17]

The sun’s gravitational attraction and the planet’s inertia keeps planets moving is circular orbits.

Explanation:

The planets in the Solar System move around the Sun in a circular orbit. This motion can be explained as a combination of two effects:

1) The gravitational attraction of the Sun. The Sun exerts a force of gravitational attraction on every planet. This force is directed towards the Sun, and its magnitude is

F=G\frac{Mm}{r^2}

where

G is the gravitational constant

M is the mass of the Sun

m is the mass of the planet

r is the distance between the Sun and the planet

This force acts as centripetal force, continuously "pulling" the planet towards the centre of its circular orbit.

2) The inertia of the planet. In fact, according to Newton's first law, an object in motion at constant velocity will continue moving at its velocity, unless acted upon an external unbalanced force. Therefore, the planet tends to continue its motion in a straight line (tangential to the circular orbit), however it turns in a circle due to the presence of the gravitational attraction of the Sun.
