Since the radiation has no mass .It is Gamma radiation.

Step by Step Explanation:

Characteristics of Gamma radiation are as follows:

  • Gamma radiations are chargeless.
  • It is Electromagnetic wave having a very short wavelength.
  • It is not effected by the electric or magnetic field.
  • It has velocity equal to light in vaccum .
  • It has a very high intensity and can penetrate long distances.
  • It has a very low ionizing power. i.e. it does not ionize the medium in whic it travels.

Gamma radiation has proved itself to be very useful in radioactive treatment of cancer due to its high penetrating power.

A state is looking to reduce the cost of transportation, which uses 7.10×10^14 BTUs per year. Currently the cost of 10^6BTUs is
Ilia_Sergeevich [38]

Answer:

$ 284 million dollars

Explanation:

If the energy usage of all transportation is 7.10 × 10¹⁴ BTU per year, if their efficiency is to increase by 20%, The new energy usage will be (1 + 20/100)7.10 × 10¹⁴ BTU per year = (1.02)7.10 × 10¹⁴ BTU per year = 7.242 × 10¹⁴ BTU per year.

The energy saved is thus the difference 7.242 × 10¹⁴ BTU per year - 7.10 × 10¹⁴ BTU per year = 0.142 × 10¹⁴ BTU per year.

Since 10⁶ BTU costs $ 20.00, then,

0.142 × 10¹⁴ BTU costs 0.142 × 10¹⁴ BTU × $ 20.00/10⁶ BTU = $ 2.84 × 10⁸ per year = $ 284 million dollars

So the state saves $ 284 million dollars in one year
