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

What is the definition of input force?
andrezito [222]

Answer:

The input force (effort) is the amount of effort used to push down on a rod, or pull on a rope in order to move the weight. In this example, the force the little guy is using to pull the elephant is the input force.

A 4.0 m length of gold wire is connected to a 1.5 V battery, and a current of 4.0 mA flows through it. What is the diameter of t
sladkih [1.3K]

Explanation:

Given that,

Length of gold wire, l = 4 m

Voltage of battery, V = 1.5 V

Current, I = 4 mA

The resistivity of gold, \rho=2.44\times 10^{-8}\ \Omega-m

Resistance in terms of resistivity is given by :

R=\dfrac{\rho l}{A}

Also, V = IR

So,

\dfrac{V}{I}=\dfrac{\rho l}{A}

A is area of wire,

\dfrac{V}{I}=\dfrac{\rho l}{\pi r^2}, r is radius, r = d/2 (diameter=d)

\dfrac{V}{I}=\dfrac{\rho l}{\pi (d/2)^2}\\\\\dfrac{V}{I}=\dfrac{4\rho l}{\pi d^2}\\\\d=\sqrt{\dfrac{4\rho l I}{V\pi}} \\\\d=\sqrt{\dfrac{4\times 2.44\times 10^{-8}\times 4\times 4\times 10^{-3}}{1.5\times \pi}} \\\\d=18.2\ \mu m

Out of four option, near option is (C) 17 μm.

We use a battery to cause a continuous potential difference by getting charges to separate. Explain why the terminals of a batte
QveST [7]

Answer:

To create an electric potential difference between the ends of the conductor.

Explanation:

For current to flow, there must exist an electric potential difference between the ends of the conductor. This PD is provided by the electromotive force stored within the battery. Unless there is a connection between the terminals no PD will exist between the terminals.

A train can speed up at a uniform rate of 0.15 m/s2. In what minimum distance can
goblinko [34]

Answer:

d = 2083.33 m

Explanation:

Given that,

Acceleration of the train, a = 0.15 m/s²

The initial speed of the car, u = 0\

Final velocity, v = 25 m/s

We need to find the minimum distance covered by the train. Let it is d. Using third equation of kinematics as follows :

v^2-u^2=2ad\\\\d=\dfrac{v^2-u^2}{2a}\\\\d=\dfrac{(25)^2-0}{2\times 0.15}\\\\d=2083.33\ m

So, the minimum distance is 2083.33 m
