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.

Two identical 3.0-kg cubes are placed on a horizontal surface in
DedPeter [7]

The magnitude of the force exerted by the left cube on the right cube is 17.64N.

<h3>What is frictional force?</h3>

When an object is moving on a rough surface, it experiences opposition. This opposing force is called the friction.

Two identical 3.0-kg cubes are placed on a horizontal surface in contact with one another. The cubes are lined up from left to right and a force F₁ is applied to the left side of the left cube causing both cubes to move at a constant speed v. The coefficient of kinetic friction between the cubes and the surface is 0.3.

From the equilibrium of forces in vertical direction

Normal force N= 2m x g

friction force f = μN =μ(2m)g

From the equilibrium of forces in horizontal direction

F₁ =ma =0

using Newton's third law of motion, we get

F₁  - f =0

F₁  =f = μ(2m)g

Put the values, we get

F₁  = 17.64N

Thus, magnitude of the force exerted by the left cube on the right cube is 17.64N.

Mkey [24]

Answer:

Thickness of Styrofoam insulation is 0.02741 m.

Explanation:

Given that,

Height = 0.25 m

Depth = 0.5 m

Power = 400 W

Temperature = 33°C

We need to calculate the area of Styrofoam

Using formula of area

A=2(lb+bh+hl)

Put the value into the formula

A=2(0.3\times0.5+0.25\times0.5+0.5\times0.3)

A=0.85\ m^2

Inner surface temperature of freezer

T_{i}=-10°C=263\ K

Outer surface temperature of freezer

T_{o}=33+273=306\ K

We need to calculate the thickness of Styrofoam insulation

Using Fourier law,

q=\dfrac{kA}{L}(T_{o}-T_{i})

L=\dfrac{kA}{q}(T_{o}-T_{i})

Put the value into the formula

L=\dfrac{0.30\times0.85}{400}(306-263)

L=0.02741\ m

Hence, Thickness of Styrofoam insulation is 0.02741 m.

Mimas, a moon of Saturn, has an orbital radius of 1.62 × 108 m and an orbital period of about 23.21 h. Use Newton’s version of K
Drupady [299]

Answer:

3.60432\times 10^{26}\ kg

Explanation:

a = Orbital radius = 1.62\times 10^8\ m

T = Orbital period = 23.21 hours

G = Gravitational constant = 6.67 × 10⁻¹¹ m³/kgs²

From Kepler's third law we get

M=\frac{4\pi^2a^3}{GT^2}\\\Rightarrow M=\frac{4\pi^2\times (1.62\times 10^8)^3}{6.67\times 10^{-11}\times (23.21\times 3600)^2}\\\Rightarrow M=3.60432\times 10^{26}\ kg

From the given data the mass of Saturn is 3.60432\times 10^{26}\ kg
