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.

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:

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

Explanation:

Friction Force

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
