Answer:

Exposure time limitation, shielding and distance.

Explanation:

Limitation of exposure time, since the dose received is directly proportional to the exposure time, so that, at a shorter time, lower dose. For this reason, planning is suggested, to reduce time.

Use of shields. This allows a reduction in the dose received by the technician when filtered by the barrier (screen). There are two types of shields or screens, the primary barriers (attenuate the radiation of the primary beam) and the secondary barriers (avoid diffuse radiation).

Distance to the radioactive source. The dose received is inversely proportional to the square of the distance to the radioactive source. Therefore, if the distance is doubled, the dose received will decrease by a quarter. Reason for this, it is advisable to use devices or remote controls whenever possible.

Only conservative forces perform work on an object over a span of time. During this time, the total mechanical energy of the obj

siniylev [52]

During this time, the total mechanical energy of the object remains constant.

Answer: Option C

Explanation:

The sum total of potential energy and the kinetic energy presented in the system is called mechanical energy. The total mechanical energy in the system, which represents the combined potential and kinetic energies, remains constant as long as the only force work at conservative forces, and mechanical energy is maintained on this principle.

For example, a gravity box in which we throw the ball straights up, and then leave the hand with a specific amounts of kinetic energy. In the first half of the track, there is no kinetic energy, but it has potential energy similar to kinetic energy that it had when that left our hand. When we catch that again, it has the same kinetic energy as when that left our hand. That is why gravity belongs to the category of conservative forces.

A beaker of vegetable oil contains a beam of light that is aimed at a surface at an angle of 34 degrees as shown. If the index o

Over [174]

Answer:

Angle of reflection of light is 34 degree

Explanation:

As per law of reflection of light we know that

angle of incidence of light = angle of reflection of light

So here we know that

angle of incidence on the surface of oil is given as

$\theta_i = 34 degree$

so we know that

$\theta_i = \theta_r$

so here we can say that reflection angle of light will be same as angle of incidence

$\theta_r = 34 degree$

According to thomas gage's spies, in which town had the minutemen been collecting a large amount of arms?

Citrus2011 [14]

The correct answer for the given question above would be option B. CONCORD. According to Thomas Gage's spies, the town in which the minutemen had been collecting a large amount of arms is in Concord. The minutemen are civilian colonists who established an independent organization forming a well-prepared militia. Hope this answers your question.

d. Maintain constant velocity

Explanation:

A constant velocity leads to no acceleration.

Acceleration is defined as the change in velocity with time:

Acceleration = $\frac{change in velocity}{time taken}$
