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.

A distant galaxy has a redshift z = 5.82 and a recessional velocity vr = 287,000 km/s (about 96% of the speed of light.) Notice

vlabodo [156]

Answer: 4100 Mpc

Explanation:

Since H o = 70 km/s/Mpc

Redshift z = 5.82

Recessional velocity vr = 287,000 km/s

Then, the distance to the galaxy in light years will be:

= Recessional velocity / H o

= 287000 / 70

= 4100 Mpc

Boyle's Law states that when a sample of gas is compressed at a constant temperature, the pressure P and volume V satisfy the eq

gayaneshka [121]

Answer:

The volume is decreasing at 160 cm³/min

Explanation:

Given;

Boyle's law, PV = C

where;

P is pressure of the gas

V is volume of the gas

C is constant

Differentiate this equation using product rule:

$V\frac{dp}{dt} +P\frac{dv}{dt} = \frac{d(C)}{dt}$

Given;

$\frac{dP}{dt}$ (increasing pressure rate of the gas) = 40 kPa/min

V (volume of the gas) = 600 cm³

P (pressure of the gas) = 150 kPa

Substitute in these values in the differential equation above and calculate the rate at which the volume is decreasing ( $\frac{dv}{dt}$ );

(600 x 40) + (150 x $\frac{dv}{dt}$ ) = 0

$\frac{dv}{dt} = -\frac{(600*40)}{150} = -160 \ cm^3/min$

Therefore, the volume is decreasing at 160 cm³/min

what was the mass of a cannkn ball whose velocity is 200m/s if it were shot from 1000kg that recoils a 2m/s. Solve step by step

Whitepunk [10]

The famous Newton’s Third Law states that “For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction. The statement means that in every interaction, there is a pair of forces acting on the two interacting objects. The size of the forces on the first object equals the size of the force on the second object.”

By using this,

10grams or 0.01kg of bullet with speed 400 m/sec and 5kg gun recoil with speed suppose ‘v’.

0.01×400=5×v

4/5=v

v=0.8m/sec ANSWER.
