Certain cancers, especially those of the liver, can be treated by injecting small glass spheres (30 to 35 μm in diameter) contai

ning radioactive 90Y into the tumor. The spheres become lodged in the small capillaries of the tumor, both cutting off its blood supply and delivering a high dose of radiation which damages the tumor, hope-fully sparing surrounding healthy tissue. The spheres stay in place until the radioactivity has completely de-cayed. 90Y undergoes beta-minus decay with a half-life of 64 h; the energy released in the decay is carried away by the beta particle, which has a kinetic energy 0.94 MeV.
a) What is the daughter nucleus for the 90Y decay?
b) The activity is measured when the spheres are prepared; the patient is to be injected 12 days later. If the patient is to be injected with spheres of total activity 1.0 GBq, what should be the approximate activity of the spheres at the time of preparation?
c) Spheres are injected into a liver with a 500 g tumor mass. If the total activity of the spheres administered is 1.0 GBq, and all of the energy deposited ends up in the tumor, what is the dose equivalent in Sv once all of the nuclei have decayed?

If the angle of incidence of a light source to a shiny surface is 30 degrees, what will the angle
Virty [35]
<h3>Answer: D) 30</h3>

Angle of incidence always equals angle of reflection. Think of a tennis ball being hit into a wall. The ball will bounce off at the same angle that it approached with. The angles mentioned are formed through the line called the "normal", which is the line perpendicular to the surface.

n outer space, a constant net force with a magnitude of 140 N is exerted on a 32.5 kg probe initially at rest. A) What accelerat
musickatia [10]

Answer:

a) 4.31 m/s²

b) 215.5 m

Explanation:

a) According to Newton's first law of motion

The net force applied to particular mass produced acceleration, a, according to

F = ma

F = 140 N

m = 32.5 kg

a = ?

140 = 32.5 × a

a = 140/32.5 = 4.31 m/s²

b) Using the equations of motion, we can obtain the distance travelled by the object in t = 10 s

u = initial velocity of the probe = 0 m/s (since it was initially at rest)

a = 4.31 m/s²

t = 10 s

s = distance travelled = ?

s = ut + at²/2

s = 0 + (4.31×10²)/2 = 215.5 m

An open organ pipe 30 cm long and a closed organ pipe 23 cm long, both of same diameter , are each sounding its first overtone ,
cupoosta [38]

First overtone of open organ pipe is given as

f_{1o} = \frac{v}{L_1 + 2e}

first overtone of closed organ pipe is given as

f_{1c} = \frac{3v}{4(L_2 + e)}

now they are in unison so we will have

\frac{v}{L_1 + 2e} = \frac{3v}{4(L_2 + e)}

\frac{1}{30 + 2e} = \frac{3}{4(23 + e)}

90 + 6e = 92 + 4e

e = 1 cm

so end correction of both pipes is e = 1 cm
