A particular X-ray photon has initial energy of 60 keV when it enters the body. This photon transmits through 30 cm of soft tiss

ue and exits the body. Calculate its energy (in keV) after it has exited the body.

Answer:

E = 7.334 KeV

Explanation:

given,

initial energy = 60 keV

Δ x = 30 cm

E = E_0e^{-\mu \Delta x}

μ(for soft tissue) = 0.7 cm⁻¹ (taken from table)

E = E_0e^{-0.7\times 20}

         E = 60 × 0.1224

         E = 7.334 KeV

energy of x-ray photon after travelling through 30 cm soft tissue in body is E = 7.334 KeV

Voltage, resistance and current are the three components that must be present for a circuit to exist. A circuit will not be able to function without these three components. Voltage is the main electrical source that is present in a circuit. :)

The magnitude of the force associated with the gravitational field is constant and has a value FF . A particle is launched from
uysha [10]

Answer:

The kinetic energy of the particle will be 12U₀

Explanation:

Given that,

A particle is launched from point B with an initial velocity and reaches point A having gained U₀ joules of kinetic energy.

Constant force = 12F

According to question,

The kinetic energy is

U_{0}=Fx....(I)

Constant force = 12F

A resistive force field is now set up ,

Resistive force is given by,

F_{r}=12F

When the particle moves from point B to point A then,

We need to calculate the kinetic energy

Using formula for kinetic energy

U=F_{r}x

Put the value of F_{r}

U=12Fx

Now, from equation (I)

U=12U_{0}

Hence, The kinetic energy of the particle will be 12U₀.

It takes a minimum distance of 57.46 m to stop a car moving at 13.0 m/s by applying the brakes (without locking the wheels). Ass
vivado [14]

Answer:

The minimum stopping distance when the car is moving at

29.0 m/sec = 285.94 m

Explanation:

We know by equation of motion that,

v^{2}=u^{2}+2\cdot a \cdot s

Where, v= final velocity m/sec

u=initial velocity m/sec

a=Acceleration m/Sec^{2}

s= Distance traveled before stop m

Case 1

u=  13 m/sec, v=0, s= 57.46 m, a=?

0^{2} = 13^{2}  + 2 \cdot a \cdot57.46

a = -1.47 m/Sec^{2} (a is negative since final velocity is less then initial velocity)

Case 2

u=29 m/sec, v=0, s= ?, a=-1.47 m/Sec^{2} (since same friction force is applied)

v^{2} = 29^{2}  - 2 \cdot 1.47 \cdot S

s = 285.94 m

Hence the minimum stopping distance when the car is moving at

29.0 m/sec = 285.94 m
