How can we protect space shuttles or astronauts from space radiation in the absence of the atmospheric layer?

Earth's protective magnetic bubble, called the magnetosphere, deflects most solar particles, but in the absence of atmospheric layer, Polyethylene is a good shielding material because it has high hydrogen content, and hydrogen atoms are good at absorbing and dispersing radiation.

The Earth’s atmospheres are kept in place by gravity. The air near the ground is pulled on by gravity and compressed by the air higher in the sky. This causes the air near the ground to be denser and creating different layers with different qualities in which are the atmosphere.

Hope that helps ^^

Answer:

Explanation:

This is a problem based on time dilation , a theory given by Albert Einstein .

The formula of time dilation is as follows .

t₁ = \frac{t}{\sqrt{1-\frac{v^2}{c^2} } }

t is time measured on the earth and t₁ is time measured by man on ship .

A ) Given t = 20 years , t₁ = ? v = .4c

\frac{20}{\sqrt{1-\frac{.16c^2}{c^2} } }

=1.09 x 20

t₁= 21.82 years

B ) Given t = 5 years , t₁ = ? v = .2c

\frac{5}{\sqrt{1-\frac{.04c^2}{c^2} } }

=1.02 x 5

t₁= 5.1 years

C ) Given t = 10 years , t₁ = ? v = .8c

\frac{10}{\sqrt{1-\frac{.64c^2}{c^2} } }

=1.67 x 10

t₁= 16.7  years

D ) Given t = 10 years , t₁ = ? v = .4c

\frac{10}{\sqrt{1-\frac{.16c^2}{c^2} } }

=1.09 x 10

t₁= 10.9  years

E ) Given t = 20 years , t₁ = ? v = .8c

\frac{20}{\sqrt{1-\frac{.64c^2}{c^2} } }

=1.67 x 20

t₁= 33.4   years

The correct answer is Dr. Patel, a cardiologist, presents her findings on heart disease.

A cardiologist is a heart doctor, so he would be the highest authority to speak about heart disease. The others are all amateurs in their businesses.

Xenon can be used for things like high pressure arc lamps for motion picture projection, in high pressure arc lamps to produce ultraviolet light and photographic flashes. It is also used to help the radiation detection, for example X-ray counters.
