<h2>Answer: Marie Curie's notebooks</h2>

Explanation:

Marie Curie's notebooks, as well as all of her belongings, including her clothes, were contaminated with ionizing radiation. In fact, also those of her husband, because <u>this couple of scientists discovered the radioactivity of several elements</u>, helping the advance of science, but did not know about the consequences of dealing with these materials without adequate protection.  

It should be noted that Curie's notes are stored in the basements of the National Library of France, stored in thick lead boxes and those who wish to access these documents must follow the appropriate protocol to treat radioactive material, wear appropriate clothing and sign a responsibility agreement before allowing them to review the documents.

If v =5.00 meters/second and makes an angle of 60 with the negative direction of the y-axis coalculate the possible values of vx
Sever21 [200]

An angle of 60 degrees with the negative y-axis could mean 60 degrees clockwise or counterclockwise, which translates to two possible angles (starting from the positive x-axis and moving counterclockwise) of 210 degrees or 330 degrees.

Then the horizontal component v_x of a velocity vector \mathbf v with magnitude 5.00\,\dfrac{\mathrm m}{\mathrm s} could be one of two expressions:

v_x=\left(5.00\,\dfrac{\mathrm m}{\mathrm s}\right)\cos210^\circ=-4.33\,\dfrac{\mathrm m}{\mathrm s}

v_x=\left(5.00\,\dfrac{\mathrm m}{\mathrm s}\right)\cos330^\circ=4.33\,\dfrac{\mathrm m}{\mathrm s}

A 15-kg block at rest on a horizontal frictionless surface is attached to a very light ideal spring of force constant 450 N/m. T
den301095 [7]

Answer:

0.266 m

Explanation:

Assuming the lump of patty is 3 Kg then applying the principal of conservation of linear momentum,

P= mv where p is momentum, m is mass and v is the speed of an object. In this case

m_pv_p=v_c(m_p+m_b) where sunscripts p and b represent putty and block respectively, c is common velocity.

Substituting the given values then

3*8=v(15+3)

V=24/18=1.33 m/s

The resultant kinetic energy is transferred to spring hence we apply the law of conservation of energy

0.5(m_p+m_b)v_c^{2}=0.5kx^{2} where k is spring constant and x is the compression of spring. Substituting the given values then

(3+15)*1.33^{2}=450*x^{2}\\x\approx 0.266 m

You are unloading a refrigerator from a delivery van. The ramp on the van is 5.0 mm long, and its top end is 1.4 mm above the gr
Ivahew [28]

Answer:

Work done is 1.31 J.

Explanation:

Given:

Length of the ramp (L) = 5.0 mm

Height of the top end (H) = 1.4 mm

Horizontal force applied (F) = 270 N

Work done (W) = ?

We know that,

Work done is equal to the product of force and displacement caused along the line of application of force.

Here, the force acting on the refrigerator is in the horizontal direction while the refrigerator is moving down along the length of the ramp. So, we have to first find the horizontal component of the displacement caused.

Now, consider the triangle ABC representing the given situation. The point A is the top end point of the ramp, AB is the length of the ramp, AC is the vertical displacement of the refrigerator and BC is the horizontal displacement of the refrigerator.

Using Pythagoras theorem,

AB^2=BC^2+AC^2\\\\(5.0)^2=BC^2+(1.4)^2\\\\BC=\sqrt{25.0-1.96}\\\\BC=4.86\ mm

Now, force applied on the refrigerator is in the direction opposite to the horizontal component of displacement. So, work is negative.

Work = Force × Horizontal displacement

W=270\ N\times 4.86\ mm\\\\W=1312.2\ \textrm{N-mm}\\\\W=1.31\ J\ \ \ \ \ \textrm{ [1 mm = 0.001 m]}

Therefore, work done is 1.31 J.

A barometer reads 780 mm Hg. Mercury has a density of 1.36 x 10^4 kg /m^3.
iris [78.8K]

The pressure of the atmosphere, when a barometer reads 780 mm Hg.    Mercury which a density of 1.36 x 10^4 kg /m^3 is B 1.1 x 10^5 N/m^2

This problem can be solved using the formula below

P = dgh................. Equation 1

Where P = Pressure of the atmosphere, d = density of the mercury, h = height of the mercury, g = acceleration due to gravity.

From the question,

Given: d = 1.36×10⁴ kg/m³, h = 780 mm = 0.78 m,

Constant: g = 10 m/s²

Substitute these values into equation 1

P = (1.36×10⁴)(10)(0.78)

P = 10.608×10⁴ N/m²

P ≈ 1.1×10⁵ N/m²

Hence the right answer is B. 1.1×10⁵ N/m²
