4 0

Answer:

Gamma rays and its uses are discussed below.

Explanation:

Characteristics of Gamma rays

  • Radiation of short wavelength and high frequency.
  • Gamma rays do not deflect in a magnetic field.
  • Gamma rays have strong penetration energy

Uses of Gamma rays

  • Medical: Gamma rays are used as a medicine to kill the carcinogens cells and prevent them to grow again.
  • Industrial: Gamma rays are used in the industry to check the oil pipeline and discover the weak points.

What is the differential equation governing the growth of current in the circuit as a function of time after t=0? express the ri
Reika [66]

Answer:

v_{b}=ir+L\frac{di}{dt}

Explanation:

A differential equation that contain a term with di(t)/dt is in a RL circuit. Here we have

v_{b}=v_{r}+v_{i}

where vr is the voltage in the resistance, vi is the voltage in the inductance and vb is the source voltage. But also we have that

v_{r}=ir\\v_{i}=L\frac{di}{dt}

where L is the inductance of the circuit, r is the resistance an i is the current. By replacing we have the differential equation

v_{b}=ir+L\frac{di}{dt}

I hope this is useful for you

A stone is thrown vertically upward with a speed of 12m/s from the edge of a cliff 70 m high (a) How much later it reaches the b
jonny [76]

Answer

given,

vertical speed of stone,v = 12 m/s

height of the cliff = 70 m

a) time taken by the stone to reach at the bottom of the cliff

We know that,

S = u t + 1/2 a t²

- 70 = 12 t - 0.5 x 9.8 t²

4.9 t² - 12 t - 70 = 0  

solving the equation

t = 5.2 s (neglecting the negative value)

b) again using equation of motion

   v = u + a t

   v = 12 - 9.8 x 5.2

  v = -38.96 m/s

ignoring the negative sign

magnitude of velocity is equal to 38.96 m/s

c) total distance travel by the stone

  vertical distance covered by the stone

 v² = u² + 2 g h

 0 = 12² - 2 x 9.8 x h

 h = 7.34 m

to reach the stone to the same level distance travel be doubled.

Total distance travel by the stone

H = h + h + 70

H = 7.34 x 2 + 70

H = 84.7 m.

Sodium has an atomic mass of 23 and an atomic number of 11, so the
horrorfan [7]

Answer:

12 Neutrons

Explanation:

So the mass of sodium is 22.990. You round it up to get 23(as stated in the problem). So, <em>what exactly is atomic mass?</em>

Atomic Mass is the total amount of neutrons and protons added up to form a total mass. So when you subtract 23-11 you get 12 Neutrons.

<u>Tip: </u>Don't know if you need this but-

The neutrons and protons are typically close in number (unless it's an isotope). So say that you subtract and the numbers of protons and neutrons aren't close at all. Well if that's the case, it's probably wrong.

hope this helps!!
