Answer:

Watts

Explanation:

Watts

Electricity is measured in units of power called Watts, named to honor James Watt, the inventor of the steam engine. A Watt is the unit of electrical power equal to one ampere under the pressure of one volt. One Watt is a small amount of power.

the average american receives 2.28 mSv dose equivalent from radon each year. Assuming you receive this dose, and it all comes fr

Dmitry [639]

Answer:

The approximate number of decays this represent is $N= 23*10^{10}$

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

The amount of Radiation received by an average american is $I_a = 2.28 \ mSv$

The source of the radiation is $S = 5.49 MeV \ alpha \ particle$

Generally

$1 \ J/kg = 1000 mSv$

Therefore $2.28 \ mSv = \frac{2.28}{1000} = 2.28 *10^{-3} J/kg$

Also $1eV = 1.602 *10^{-19}J$

Therefore $2.28*10^{-3} \frac{J}{kg} = 2.28*10^{-3} \frac{J}{kg} * \frac{1ev}{1.602*10^{-19} J} = 1.43*10^{16} ev/kg$

An Average american weighs 88.7 kg

The total energy received is mathematically evaluated as

$1 kg ------> 1.423*10^{16}ev \\88.7kg --------> x$

Cross-multiplying and making x the subject

$x = 88.7 * 1.423*10^{16} eV$

$x = 126.2*10^{16}eV$

Therefore the total energy deposited is $x = 126.2*10^{16}eV$

The approximate number of decays this represent is mathematically evaluated as

N = $\frac{x}{S}$

Where n is the approximate number of decay

Substituting values

$N = \frac{126 .2*10^{16}}{5.49*10^6}$

$N= 23*10^{10}$

What must be true about two objects if heat is flowing between them?

netineya [11]

Answer:

The objects must be different temperatures.

Explanation:

For heat to flow between two objects, heat must be flowing between them. The thermal gradient allows for the flow of heat. Heat is a form of energy that is dissipated from one place to another based on temperature difference.

Temperature is the degree of hotness or coldness of body. It is power by heat energy between two bodies.

Heat generally flows from a body at high temperature to one at low temperature. When thermal equilibrium is established and both bodies have the same temperature, heat will stop to flow.
