Answer:Explained Below

Explanation:

Radiation in everyday language refers  to certain type of subatomic particle released by a radioactive unstable nucleus.It can be used to kill the cancer by damaging the DNA of cancer cells.

The transmission of energy in the form of waves via a material medium is called radiation in astronomical context.

When an object with a height of 0.10 meter is placed at a distance of 0.20 meter from a convex spherical mirror, the image will
goblinko [34]

Answer:

0.03 m

Explanation:

Mirrors work on the principle of reflection.

Reflection occurs when a ray of light hits a surface and bounces back into the origina medium at a different angle.

We can solve this problem by using the magnification equation:

\frac{y'}{y}=-\frac{q}{p}

where

y' is the size of the image

y is the size of the object

q is the distance of the image from the mirror

p is the distance of the object from the mirror

Here we have:

y = 0.10 m is the height of the object

p = 0.20 m is the distance of the object from the mirror

q = -0.06 m is the distance of the image from the mirror (negative because it appears behind the mirror, so it is a virtual image)

Solving for y', we find the size of the image:

y'=-\frac{q}{p}y=-\frac{-0.06}{0.20}(0.10)=0.03 m

And the positive sign indicates that the image is upright.

Force F = (-6.0 N)ihat + (2.0 N) jhatacts on a particle with position vector r =(4.0 m) ihat+ (4.0 m) jhat.
finlep [7]

Answer:

\tau=(-32k)\ N-m

\theta=116.55^{\circ}

Explanation:

Given that.

Force acting on the particle, F=(-6i + 2.0j)\ N

Position of the particle, r=(4i+4j)\ m

To find,

(a) Torque on the particle about the origin.

(b) The angle between the directions of r and F

Solution,

(a) Torque acting on the particle is a scalar quantity. It is given by the cross product of force and position. It is given by :

\tau=F\times r

\tau=(-6i + 2.0j)\times (4i+4j)

\tau=\begin{pmatrix}0&0&-32\end{pmatrix}

\tau=(-32k)\ N-m

So, the torque on the particle about the origin is (32 N-m).

(b) Magnitude of r, |r|=\sqrt{4^2+4^2}=5.65\ m

Magnitude of F, |F|=\sqrt{(-6)^2+2^2}=6.324\ m

Using dot product formula,

F{\circ}\ r=|F|.|r|\ cos\theta

cos\theta=\dfrac{F{\circ} r}{|F|.|r|}

cos\theta=\dfrac{-24+8}{6.324\times 5.65}

\theta=116.55^{\circ}

Therefore, this is the required solution.

Why does fluid pressure exist?
zubka84 [21]

Answer:

Fluid pressure from gravity is the weight of the fluid above divided by the area it is pushing on. Fluid pressure applies in all directions. Internal pressure of an object equals the external fluid pressure, otherwise the object could be crushed. Wind and heating can also create pressure.
