Having successfully ransomed a nearby city with her rail gun, Prof. Marcia Grail is looking for new and exciting ways to wreck s

cience based havok for profit. She constructs a device capable of creating a constant intensity of electromagnetic radiation of any frequency over a circular space of radius 50cm. In order to do the most damage to biological systems (e.g. make those filthy normal humans pay), what type of electromagnetic wave does she need to set the device for

Answer:

Gamma radiation

Explanation:

Electromagnetic radiations are waves that do not require material medium for their propagation, and they travel at the same velocity. When these waves are arranged with respect to increasing frequency or decreasing wavelength, it forms a spectrum.

Since Prof. Marcia Grail's device can create an electromagnetic radiation of any frequency, the appropriate radiation to achieve her goal would be gamma radiation.

Gamma radiation is a high penetrating radiation with lethal effects on exposed biological molecules, causing induction of cancer and genetic mutations even at low level.

A 2.2 kgkg block slides along a frictionless surface at 1.2 m/sm/s . A second block, sliding at a faster 4.0 m/sm/s , collides w
aleksklad [387]

Answer:

0.6kg

Explanation:

the unknown here is the mass of the second block

applying the law of the conservation of momentum

m₁v₁ + m₂v₂ = (m₁ + m₂) v₃

where m₁=mass of first block=2.2kg

m₂=mass of colliding block= ?

v₁= velocity of first block=1.2m/s

v₂=velocity of colliding block=4.0m/s

v₃= final velocity of combined block=1.8m/s

applying the formula above

(2.2 × 1.2) + (m₂ × 4) = (2.2 + m₂) × 1.8

2.64 + 4m₂ = 3.96 + 1.8m₂

collecting like terms

4m₂ - 1.8m₂ = 3.96 - 2.64

2.2m₂=1.32

divide both sides by 2.2

m₂= 0.6kg

1. Impulse is the product of force and distance. True or false?
daser333 [38]

Answer:

Explanation:

1. Impulse, I = F.t

  The statement impulse is the product of Force and distance is false.

2. F = m g

   Force necessary to lift the object depends on the mass of the object.

   statement 2 is false.

3. Joule is equal to Newton times meter.

    Statement 3 is false.

4. Work done to lift an object is correct statement.

   Statement 4 is true.

5. Kinetic energy of an object is due to motion.

  Statement 5 is false.

6. Stopping distance is directly proportional to the square of velocity.

     If velocity is doubled, stopping distance is quadrupled.

    Statement 6 is false.

A butcher has a beam balance and masses 0.5kg and 2kg.How would he measure 1.5kg of meat on the balance at once
LekaFEV [45]

Answer and Explanation:

  • The butcher will balance the meat and the 0.5 kg mass on one side of the beam balance and 2 kg mass on the other side of the beam balance.
  • By so doing, when the beam balances then the amount of meat measured will be exactly 1.5 kg as required. Since the 1.5 kg meat and 0.5 kg mass is equivalent to the 2 kg on the other side of the beam balance.
