Gamma radiation could be used to sterilize plastic petri plates in a plastic wrapper.

Answer: Option E

<u>Explanation: </u>

It is known that radioactive radiations have greater ionizing powers compared to other electromagnetic radiations. Among the radioactive radiations, gamma rays are the most ionizing radiation.

So they are widely used in sterilizing process. As the penetration power of gamma is more compared to alpha and beta, in order to kill microorganisms gamma radiations are used.

When plastic petri plates wrapped with plastic are bombarded or sterilizing with gamma rays, the rays will ionise the micro-organism. Thus mutilating their DNA and preventing their reproduction.

Water in a tank is pressurized by air and pressure measured using a multi-fluid manometer. Determine the gage pressure of air in
sattari [20]

Answer:

The gauge pressure of air is 110 kpa

Explanation:

Atmospheric pressure, P_{atm} = 101 Kpa

P_{gauge} + \rho_w gh_1 + \rho_o gh_2 -\rho_{Hg} gh_3 =P_{atm}

P_{gauge}  = P_{atm} - \rho_w gh_1 - \rho_o gh_2 +\rho_{Hg} gh_3

where;

ρw is the density of water = 1000 kg/m³

ρo is the density of oil = 800 kg/m³

ρHg is the density of mercury = 13,600 kg/m³

g is acceleration due to gravity = 9.8 m/s²

P_{gauge}  = 101,000 - (1000* 9.8*0.2) - (800* 9.8*0.3) +(13,600* 9.8*0.46)\\\\P_{gauge}  = 101,000 - 1960 - 2352 + 13610.26\\\\P_{gauge}  = 110,298.26 pa

Therefore, the gauge pressure of air is 110 kpa

PLEASE HELP!!! WOULD REALLY APPRECIATE!
Eva8 [605]

Answer:

a. slope=rise/run

rise=0.02

run=-2

determined using the point (3,0.08) and (1,0.1) on the graph

slope=0.02/-2

= -0.01 or -1/100

b.area= area of trapizoid+ rectangle

((0.07+0.11)÷2)×4+1×0.07

0.36+0.07

=0.43$

c. the area represent the total cost after 5 hours
