Answer:

  I₂ = 8 mG

Explanation:

The intensity of a beam is

          I = P / A

Where P is the emitted power which is 3) 3

           

Let's use index 1 for the initial position of r₁ = 6 ft and 2 for the second position r₂ = 3 ft

          I₁ A₁  = I₂  A₂

           I₂ = I₁ A₁ / A₂

The area of ​​the beam if we assume that it is distributed either in the form of a sphere is

           A₁ = 4π r²

We substitute

            I₂ = I₁ (r₁ / r₂)²

           I₂ = 2 (6/3)²

           I₂ = 2 4

           I₂ = 8 mG

Answer:

The amount of exposure that will be received at 3 ft is 8 mGy

Explanation:

Here, we note that the  amount of radiation exposure of the radiographer is given by the inverse square law. That is the amount of radiation exposure is directly proportional to the inverse square of the distance that is

\frac{Old \, \, Intensity}{New \, \, \, Intensity} = \frac{(New\, distance)^2}{(Old\, distance)^2} \therefore \frac{2}{New \, \, \, Intensity} = \frac{3^2}{6^2}

Or New intensity = 2\times \frac{36}{9}  = 8mGy

Therefore, the amount of exposure that will be received at 3 ft = 8 mGy.

A car travels 60 miles due West first then turns back and travels 120 miles due East in 3 hours. What is...
ella [17]

Answer:

<h2>A. 180 miles</h2><h2>B. 60 miles</h2><h2 />

Explanation:

In this problem, we are required to solve for the total distance that the car travelled. and the displacement

A) the distance travelled by car

this can be gotten by summing all the distances the car has travelled.

i,e total distance= 60 miles+120 miles

total distance= 180 miles

B) the displacement of the car

the displacement can be gotten by  subtracting the final distance from the initial distance

final distance = 120 miles

initial distance= 60 miles

displacement= 120-60= 60 miles

If a gas has a gage pressure of 156 kPa, it is absolute pressure is approximately
Art [367]
In the given question, one important information for getting to the actual solution is not given and that is the atmospheric pressure. To find the approximate absolute pressure, it is needed to add the value of atmospheric pressure with the gage pressure.
Atmospheric pressure = 100 kPa
Then
Absolute pressure = 156 + 100 kPa
                             = 256 KPa.

Why might video games increase creativity while the use of cell phones, the internet, or computers do not?
taurus [48]

Explanation:

Video games are developed around a structure that is unique from your usual media, where there is a sense purpose in mind when playing a game, as decided by the player, and it allows them to explore creative options in order to solve scenarios, depending on the genre. In the use of phones, internet, or computers, this structure is more rare and diverse from video games, which does not lean more toward a creative purpose to build from. That idea gives people the inspiration and discover skills they never knew they even had.
