A pesticide was applied to a population of roaches, and it was determined that the LD50 was 55mgkg. If the average mass of a roa

ch was 0.02kg, which of the following approaches will determine the dose in mg per roach?

0 0

Answer:

55mg/kg * 0.02kg which gives 1.1 mg pesticides

Explanation:

(Options are missing)

If the average mass or weight of a roach is 0.02kg

And 55mg is needed per 1 kg roaches

The amount or size of pesticide required for 0.02kg roach is 55mg/kg * 0.02kg

Size = 55mg/kg * 0.02 kg

Size = 1.1mgkg/kg

Size = 1.1 mg

So, the size of pesticide required is 1.1mg

X-rays are used instead of visible light because X-rays have shorter ______________ than visible light, allowing them to produce
Novay_Z [31]
X-rays have shorter wavelength than visible light. But that's hardly the reason that they're used for medical imaging. xrays have much higher frequencies then visible light which means they have much greater penetrating ability. with xrays you can see inside the body. you can't do that with a visible flashlight no matter how bright and powerful it is.

An electron and a proton are each placed at rest in an electric field of 500 N/C. Calculate the speed (and indicate the directio
Bumek [7]

Answer:

For proton: 2592 m/s In the same direction of electric field.

For electron: 4752000 m/s In the opposite direction of electric field.

Explanation:

E = 500 N/C, t = 54 ns = 54 x 10^-9 s,

Acceleration = Force /mass

Acceleration of proton, ap = q E / mp

ap = (1.6 x 10^-19 x 500) / (1.67 x 10^-27) = 4.8 x 10^10 m/s^2

Acceleration of electron, ae = q E / me

ae = (1.6 x 10^-19 x 500) / (9.1 x 10^-31) = 8.8 x 10^13 m/s^2

For proton:

u = 0, ap = 4.8 x 10^10 m/s^2, t = 54 x 10^-9 s

use first equation of motion

v = u + at

vp = 0 + 4.8 x 10^10 x 54 x 10^-9 = 2592 m/s In the same direction of electric field.

For electron:

u = 0, ae = 8.8 x 10^13 m/s^2, t = 54 x 10^-9 s

use first equation of motion

v = u + at

vp = 0 + 8.8 x 10^13 x 54 x 10^-9 = 4752000 m/s In the opposite direction of electric field.

For Valentine’s Day, Sally received a helium-filled balloon at a party. On returning home she accidentally left the balloon in t
Softa [21]

Answer:

If the temperature of the air in the balloon is less than the temperature of the air surrounding the balloon then the balloon will appear slightly deflated because of the difference in temperature.

As the temperature of the air in the balloon reaches the surrounding air temperature, then the balloon will appear to be fully inflated because the temperature of the air in the balloon is the same as the surrounding air temperature.
