Explanation:
Given parameters:
Mass of car = 1000kg
Force applied = 8000N
speed = 24m/s
Unknown:
time taken for the car to stop = ?
Solution:
According to newton's second law of motion; "the force on a body is the product of its mass and acceleration".
Force = mass x acceleration
let us find the acceleration of the car;
a = =
= 8m/s²
since the car is accelerating at a rate of 8m/s², when the brakes are applied, it will start decelerating at the constant rate, - 8m/s²
Applying the appropriate equation of motion;
V = U + at
V is the final velocity
U is the initial velocity
a is the acceleration
t is the time taken
final velocity = 0
0 = U + at
-U = at
-24 = -8t
t = 3s

Answer:
a) 0.0288 grams
b)
Explanation:
Given that:
A typical human body contains about 3.0 grams of Potassium per kilogram of body mass
The abundance for the three isotopes are:
Potassium-39, Potassium-40, and Potassium-41 with abundances are 93.26%, 0.012% and 6.728% respectively.
a)
Thus; a person with a mass of 80 kg will posses = 80 × 3 = 240 grams of potassium.
However, the amount of potassium that is present in such person is :
0.012% × 240 grams
= 0.012/100 × 240 grams
= 0.0288 grams
b)
the effective dose (in Sieverts) per year due to Potassium-40 in an 80- kg body is calculate as follows:
First the Dose in (Gy) =
=
=
Effective dose (Sv) = RBE × Dose in Gy
Effective dose (Sv) =
Effective dose (Sv) =
