Answer:

The gravitational force is F =  2\,*\,10^{20}\,N

Explanation:

To answer this question we need to recall Newton's Universal Law of Gravitation for the force "F" exerted from one object to the other:

F=G\,\frac{m_1\,*\,m_2}{d^2}

where G is the Universal gravitational constant = 6.674\,* \,10^{-11}\,\,\frac{m^3}{kg\,s^2}

m_1, and m_2 are the masses of the two bodies/objects attracting each other via gravitational force. In our case, one is the mass of the Earth = 5.972\,*\,10^{24}\, kg

and the other one,the mass of the Moon = 7.36\,*\,10^{22}\,kg

and lastly, "d" is the distance between to two objects. In our case:

d =3.84\,*\,10^8\,m

Since all these quantities are given in SI units, when we use them in the formula, our answer will result in the SI units of force "N" (Newtons):

F=6.674\,*10^{-11}\,\frac{5.972\,10^{24}\,7.36\,10^{22}}{(3.84\,10^8)^2} \,N\\F=1.989\,*\,10^{20}\,N\\

which can be rounded to: F = 2\,*\,10^{20}\,N

Two different sources of radiation give the same dose equivalent in Sv. Does this mean that the radiation from each source has t
Alisiya [41]

The product of the dosage Gy and relative biological efficiency yields a radiation dose equivalent Sv (RBE).

Sv =dose in Gy * RBE Sv=dose in GyRBE

The quantity of ionising energy absorbed by 1 text kg1 kg of tissue is defined as a radiation dose Gy. While RBE is a measure of a specific dose's biological effect relative to the biological effect of an equal quantity of X rays.

<h3>What is radiation?</h3>

Radiation is energy that moves through space at the speed of light from a source. This energy is coupled with an electric and magnetic field, and it exhibits wave-like qualities. Radiation is sometimes known as "electromagnetic waves."

Nature has a diverse variety of electromagnetic radiation. One example is visible light.

X-rays and gamma rays are extremely energetic. They may take electrons from atoms when they engage with them, causing the atom to become ionised.
