Answer:

The strength of gravity decreases.

An example of that would be if you were in space; you float around because there's no gravity.

Why is it safe to watch an eclipse of the Moon but not an eclipse of the Sun

gavmur [86]

A solar eclipse occurs when the moon crosses in front of the Sun, blocking some or all of its rays. A lunar eclipse happens when the moon is directly behind the earth, blocking the moon from receiving light. The only light comes from the light on earth's reflected shadow.

You can look at a lunar eclipse because there is very little light or none at all. You can't look at a solar eclipse because you are looking directly at the sun unless it is complete. Before totality, only some of the Sun is blocked, causing your pupils dilate to let in more light. Since they do this, more of the Sun's rays can be let in to the eye, which effectively allows your eyes to burn.

Some doctors and eye care specialists say that after someone complains of blindness after looking at a solar eclipse unaided, they can see what the Sun and moon looked like at the time that they looked at it, as it is burned onto their retinas.

What absorb emitted neutrons?

Karolina [17]

Nuclear energy is released during: fission. radioactive decay. man-induced splitting of atoms. Match the basic components of a nuclear reactor with their descriptions. 1. slows down neutrons -> moderator. 2. absorb emitted neutrons -> control rods.

You have a radioactive sample with a half-life of 1 hour. At t = 1 hour, a Geiger counter measures its radiation at 40 counts/mi

Mama L [17]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given that, .

The half-life of a radioactive element is

t½ = 1 hr.

At the first hour, the radioactive element has 40 counts/minute

After 4 hours it has 5 counts/minute

So,

We want to filled the table.

0 hours, I.e at the start

40 counts/mins × 2 = 80 counts / mis

First half-life (first hour) is

40 counts/mins

Second half-life (second hour)

40 counts/mins × ½ = 20 counts/mins

Third half-life (third hour)

40 counts/mins × ¼ = 10 counts / mins

Fourth half life (fourth hour)

40 counts/mins × ⅛ = 5 counts / mins

So, the table is

Time........................Geiger Counter Rate

0 hours.................... 80 counts / minutes

1 hour........................ 40 counts / minutes

2 hours..................... 20 counts / minutes

3 hours..................... 10counts / minutes

4 hours...................... 5 counts / minute

How do you think car makers can design cars to limit cell phone distractions?

Dafna11 [192]

I have two (2) brilliant ideas:

1). Inside the metal that the body of the car is made of, and also between the two sheets of glass that the windows are made of, install a thin layer of material that absorbs RF (radio-wave) energy . . . like the material in the glass window of your microwave oven. Then, no radio waves from the cellular base station can get INTO the car, and no radio waves from your phone can get OUT of the car. The phone can't make a connection to the cellular network, you can't make or receive calls, and you can't connect to Instagram or Brainly, so you might as well just turn it off and save your battery until next time you're outside your car.

2). Somewhere inside the car, like under the dash or in the glove box, install a teeny tiny radio receiver that can recognize the signals coming OUT of your phone. Connect it to the car's electrical system so that when it hears signals from phones inside the car, it it shuts down the car's motor so you can't start or drive. The car only works when phones inside the car are either turned off or in Airplane Mode.

My ideas are so brilliant that I really should patent them, or copyright them, or whatever you do so that other people have to pay you to use your idea. But if you want to use them, that's OK. Just go ahead. I won't mind.
