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.

I know it, X-rays, gamma rays and beta particles are all used in medicine to treat internal organs. X-rays are produced by firing electrons at a metal target and gamma rays are emitted by the nucleus of radioactive atoms. Gamma rays are used to kill cancer cells, to sterilise medical equipment and in radioactive tracers.

What is Force?

In the field of physics, an influence that can alter the motion of an object is referred to as a force. An object having mass can experience a change in its velocity, often known as an acceleration, when subjected to a force. Intuitively, force can also be conceptualized as either a push or a pull. Because it may be measured in both magnitude and direction, a force is considered a vector quantity.

What is atmospheric pressure?

The pressure that is exerted within the atmosphere of the Earth is referred to as barometric pressure as well as atmospheric pressure. As a unit of pressure, the standard atmosphere is defined as having a value of 101,325 Pa. This value is equivalent to 1013.25 millibars, 760 mm Hg, 29.9212 inches Hg, or 14.696 psi.

In most situations, the equation for force can be expressed numerically as

Force = pressure * A

Therefore

$F= (970 - 15 B)(\pi * (0.430 )^2)$

F= 53731 N

In conclusion, If each horse can pull with a force of 1450N

The number of horses required is

$N=\frac{60754 }{1450}$

N=37.05

MariettaO [177]

Answer:

When I got this question I had to draw it out so if you have to do that, draw 3 stick figures holding hands, one representing the mother, father, and daughter. Then you write their weights on top of them and then draw an arrow pointing from the father to the mother.

Explanation:

use this formula :

$a_{y}$ = $\frac{Fdadshandy}{msys}$

then you fill it in :

$a_{y}$ = $\frac{100N}{35.5kg+58.2kg}$

$a_{y}$ = $\frac{100N}{93.7kg}$

$a_{y}$ = $1.0672$ $m/s^{2}$

then you multiply that with the daughters weight :

$T_{2} x= m_{2} a_{y}$

$T_{2} x = 35.5kg (1.0672 m/s^{2})$

$T_{2} x = 37.89N$

and that's the answer :) : 37.89N

What is the difference between mass and weight?

I am Lyosha [343]

Mass is the actual amount of material contained in a body and is measured by kg, gm, etc. Whereas weight is the force extorted by the gravity on that object mg. Note that mass is independent of everything but weight is different on earth, moon, etc.
