Where in our daily lives do we encounter "background" radiation​

Physics
1 answer:
Tcecarenko [31]2 years ago
8 0

Answer:

Explanation:Naturally occurring radioactive materials are present in its crust, the floors and walls of our homes, schools, or offices and in the food we eat and drink. There are radioactive gases in the air we breathe. Our own bodies - muscles, bones, and tissue - contain naturally occurring radioactive elements.

What’s 3 times 10 to the 8th power divided by 2.45 times 10 to the 9th power
Virty [35]

0.12244898 is the value obtained when solving the given.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Given:

3 times 10 to the 8th power can be expressed in equation format as 3 \times 10^{8} (3 times symbolizes ‘multiplication’ then it is to the tenth power of 8)

2.45 times 10 to the 9th power can be expressed in equation format as 2.45 \times 10^{9} (2.45 times symbolizes ‘multiplication’, then it is to the tenth power of 9)

Asked to find the solution when dividing the above,

                 \frac{3 \times 10^{8}}{2.45 \times 10^{9}}=\frac{3}{2.45} \times 10^{8-9}

When the tenth power of any value goes from denominator to numerator and vice-versa, presents in opposite sign to that it possess (like when ‘10^{9} ' goes to numerator changed as ' 10^{-9} ').

Now by solving the above equation, we get

                \frac{3}{2.45} \times 10^{8-9}=1.22 \times 10^{-1}=\frac{1.22}{10}=0.12244898

Below are three graphs. The shape of graph 3 shows that the current flowing through this component is __________ proportional to
dalvyx [7]

The relationship between variables might be either directly porportional to each other or inversely proportional to each other. <em>For instance, the current flowing is _</em><em><u>directly</u></em><em>_ </em><em>proportional to the potential difference across</em> it.

---------------------

Since I do not have the graph, I will propose two potential options and I will describe each of them.

I suggest you to choose the one that matches the shape of graph 3.

<h3>Graphs</h3>
  • Probably your graph is composed of the X and Y axes, perpendicularly placed, in a way in which four quadrants are formed.

  • You might see that one of the axes represents the current (I), and the other one represents the potential difference (V).

  • And a straight line that represents the relationship between the current and the potential difference.

  • The direction of the straight line reflects the relationship between variables.

  • The change on each variable is proportional to the change on the other variable. Now we have to analyze how that change occurs.
<h3 /><h3>Option 1 </h3>

<em>The current flowing through this component is __</em><u><em>DIRECTLY</em></u><em>__ proportional to the potential difference across it</em>.

If this is the case of your graph, you should see the straight line crossing from the left inferior quadrant to the right superior one.

The direction of the line suggests that one of the variables increases as the other one increases too. <em>The current increases as the potential increases. </em>

<h3> </h3>

<em>This is the case of the </em><em>Ohm's law.</em><em> </em>

<h3 /><h3 /><h3>Option 2 </h3>

<em>The current flowing through this component is __</em><u><em>INVERSELY</em></u><u><em>_</em></u><em>_ proportional to the potential difference across it.</em>

If this is the case of your graph, you should see the straight line crossing the right quadrant from the superior left corner to the inferior right one.

The direction of the line suggests that the variable represented in the Y ax decreases as the other one increases.

For instance, The current decreases as the potential increases. Or the potential decreases as the current increases.

In the attached files you will find graphs of both options.

A person notices a mild shock if the current along a path through the thumb and index finger exceeds 82 µA. Find the maximum all
Drupady [299]

Answer:

V_{voltage}=19.68V

Explanation:

Given data

Current I=82µA=82×10⁻⁶A

Resistance R=2.4×10⁵Ω

to find

Voltage

Solution

From Ohms law we know that:

V_{voltage}=I_{current}*R_{resistance}\\V_{voltage}=82*10^{-6}*2.4*10^{5}   \\V_{voltage}=19.68V

An athlete stretches a spring an extra 40.0 cm beyond its initial length. How much energy has he transferred to the spring, if t
notsponge [240]

Answer:

<h2>b) 4230 J </h2>

Explanation:

Step one:

given data

extension= 40cm

Spring constant K= 52.9N/cm

Step two:

Required

the Kinetic Energy KE

the expression to find the kinetic energy is

KE= 1/2ke^2

substituting our data we have

KE= 1/2*52.9*40^2

KE=0.5*52.9*1600

KE= 42320Joules

<u>The answer is b) 4230 J </u>
