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 0.750 kg block is attached to a spring with spring constant 17.5 N/m. While the block is sitting at rest, a student hits it wi
Dmitriy789 [7]

Answer:

a

 A =  0.081 \  m

b

The value is  u =  0.2569 \  m/s

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

   The mass is  m  =  0.750 \ kg

   The spring constant is  k  =  17.5 \  N/m

    The instantaneous speed is  v  =  39.0 \  cm/s= 0.39 \  m/s

    The position consider is  x =  0.750A  meters from equilibrium point

   

Generally from the law of  energy conservation we have that

        The kinetic energy induced by the hammer  =  The energy stored in the spring

So

          \frac{1}{2} *  m * v^2  =  \frac{1}{2}  *  k  *  A^2

Here a is the amplitude of the subsequent oscillations

=>      A =  \sqrt{\frac{m *  v^ 2 }{ k} }

=>      A =  \sqrt{\frac{0.750 *  0.39 ^ 2 }{17.5} }

=>       A =  0.081 \  m

Generally from the law of  energy conservation we have that

The kinetic energy  by the hammer  =  The energy stored in the spring at the point considered   +   The kinetic energy at the considered point

             \frac{1}{2}  * m *  v^2 = \frac{1}{2}  * k x^2 + \frac{1}{2}  * m *  u^2

=>          \frac{1}{2}  * 0.750 *  0.39^2 = \frac{1}{2}  * 17.5* 0.750(0.081 )^2 + \frac{1}{2}  * 0.750 *  u^2

=>          u =  0.2569 \  m/s

A ball is thrown straight upward. How does the sign of the work done by gravity while the ball is traveling upward compare with
Vlada [557]
If I’m understanding this. Th reason why the ball can resist gravity’s pull is because the force used to throw it up was greater than gravity’s pull on it. BTW, gravity’s pull is 9.8m/s. So it would have to be greater than that
