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

QveST [7]

Answer:

a) 588,000 N

b) 294000 N

Explanation:

Given that

Density of water = 1000kg/m3

(g) = 9.8m/s2

volume is given as (V)= 5m*4m*3m

a) force will be equal to weight of water

W = mg  = \rho g V = 1000\times 9.8 \times (5*4*3) = 588,000 kg m/s^2

b) at either end

P = \frac{F}{A} = P_o + \rho gh

dF = PdA

dF = \rho g w \int h dh

F = \rho g w \frac{h^2}{2}

F = \rho g A \frac{h}{2}           [A = wh]

F = 1000\times 9.8 \times 5\times 4 \times\frac{3}{2}

F = 294000 N

You drive your car in a straight line at 15 m/s for 10 kilometers, then at 25 m/s for another 10 kilometers.
Vikki [24]

Answer:

A) Average speed = 18.75 m/s

B) More time is spent at 15 m/s than at 25 m/s.

Explanation:

Let the first distance be d1 and the second distance be d2.

We are given;

d1 = 10 km = 10000 m

d2 = 10 km = 10000 m

Speed; v1 = 15 m/s

Speed; v2 = 25 m/s

Now, the formula for distance is; Distance = speed x time

Thus:

d1 = v1 x t1

t1 = d1/v1 = 10000/15 = 666.67 seconds

Also,

d2 = v2 x t2

t2 = d2/v2 = 10000/25 = 400 seconds

Average speed = total distance/total time = (10000 + 10000)/(666.67 + 400) = 18.75 m/s

From earlier, since t1 = 666.67 seconds and t2 = 400 seconds, then;

More time at 15 m/s than at 25 m/s.
