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.

Kiera, a 330 N girl, steps in water that someone spilt on the floor. The coefficient of kinetic friction between Kiera and the f
shutvik [7]

Answer:

<em>The force of kinetic friction between Kiera and the floor is 9.24 N</em>

Explanation:

<u>Friction Force</u>

When an object is moving and encounters friction in rough surfaces, it loses acceleration and/or velocity because the friction force opposes motion.

The friction force when an object is moving on a horizontal surface is calculated by:

Fr=\mu N

Where μ is the coefficient of static or kinetics friction and N is the normal force.

If no forces other then the weight and the normal are acting upon the y-direction, then the weight and the normal are equal in magnitude:

N = W

Thus, the friction force is:

Fr=\mu W

Kiera, the W=330 N girl steps in water that has a coefficient of friction of μ=0.028 with the floor.

The kinetic friction force is:

Fr = 0.028*330

Fr = 9.24 N

The force of kinetic friction between Kiera and the floor is 9.24 N
