The answer for this question would be choice "<span>B. The average annual dose of background radiation is 250 times smaller than the dose linked to increased cancer risk."

You only have to compare 4.0 x 10^-4 and 1.0 x 10^-1. And if you can observe carefully, when you try to multiply the average annual dose of background radiation by 250, you would get 0.1 which is equivalent to the amount of annual dose linked to increased cancer risk. Therefore, the answer is B.</span>

A screw having 50% efficiency is driven by a rod and 25 cm. The pitch of the screw is 1/10cm Calculate velocity ratio and mechan
neonofarm [45]

(a) The velocity ratio of the screw is 1570.8.

(b) The mechanical advantage of the screw is 785.39.

<h3>Velocity ratio of the screw</h3>

The velocity ratio of the screw is calculated as follows;

V.R = 2πr/P

where;

  • P is the pitch = 1/10 cm = 0.1 cm = 0.001 m
  • r is radius = 25 cm = 0.25 m

V.R = (2π x 0.25)/(0.001)

V.R = 1570.8

<h3>Mechanical advantage of the screw</h3>

E = MA/VR x 100%

0.5 = MA/1570.8

MA = 785.39

An aluminum bar 600mm long, with diameter 40mm long has a hole drilled in the center of the bar.The hole is 30mm in diameter and
Svetradugi [14.3K]

Answer:

Total contraction on the Bar  = 1.22786 mm

Explanation:

Given that:

Total Length for aluminum bar = 600 mm  

Diameter for aluminum bar  = 40 mm

Hole diameter  = 30 mm

Hole length = 100 mm

elasticity for the aluminum is 85GN/m² = 85 × 10³ N/mm²

compressive load P = 180 KN = 180  × 10³ N

Calculate the total contraction on the bar = ???

The relation used in  calculating the contraction on the bar is:

\delta L = \dfrac{P *L }{A*E}

The relation used in  calculating the total contraction on the bar can be expressed as :

Total contraction in the Bar = (contraction in part of bar without hole + contraction in part of bar with hole)

i.e

Total contraction on the Bar = \dfrac{P *L_1 }{A_1*E} +  \dfrac{P *L_2 }{A_2 *E}

Let's find the area of cross section without the hole and with the hole

Area of cross section without the hole is :

Using A = πd²/4

A = π (40)²/4

A = 1256.64 mm²

Area of cross section with the hole is :

A = π (40²-30²)/4

A = 549.78 mm²

Total contraction on the Bar = \dfrac{P *L_1 }{A_1*E} +  \dfrac{P *L_2 }{A_2 *E}

Total contraction on the Bar  = \dfrac{180 *10^3 \N  }{85*10^3 \ N/mm^2} [\dfrac{500}{1256.64}+ \dfrac{100}{549.78}]

Total contraction on the Bar  = 2.117( 0.398 + 0.182)

Total contraction on the Bar  = 2.117*(0.58)

Total contraction on the Bar  = 1.22786 mm

Dissolving common salt in water is physical or chemical change?
Ipatiy [6.2K]

Answer: Physical

Explanation: There are no changes being done to the salt. Think of it this way, if you dissolve the salt in water then boil the water completely, you will have the same salt you started with.

How much potential energy does a 40n block medicine ball gain when it is lifted 5.m
MAVERICK [17]
By definition, the gain in PE (potential energy) is
ΔPE = m*g*h

Given:
mg = 40 N  (Note that m*g = weight)
h = 5 m

ΔPE = (40 N)*(5 m) =200 J

Answer: 200 J
