nasty-shy [4]

Answer:

32km per hour

Explanation:

Explanation:

In first case v = a t

==> a t = 40 km p h

Now distance covered S1 + S2 + S3

S1 = 1/2 a t^2 and S3 = 1/2 a t^2

But S2 = 3t * 40 = 120 t km

Hence total distance = at^2 + 120 t

Time taken (total) = t + 3t + t = 5 t

Hence average speed = at^2 + 120 t / 5 t

Cancelling t we have at + 120 / 5 = 40 + 120 / 5 = 160/5 = 32 km per hour

Y_Kistochka [10]

Answer:

Force exerted = 25.41 kN

Explanation:

We have equation of motion

      v² = u²+2as

u = 345 m/s, s = 8.9 cm = 0.089 m, v = 0 m/s

     0² = 345²+2 x a x 0.089

       a = -668679.78 m/s²

Force exerted = Mass x Acceleration

Mass of bullet = 38 g = 0.038 kg

Acceleration = 668679.78 m/s²

Force exerted = 25409.83 N = 25.41 kN

gregori [183]

Complete Question

Potassium is a crucial element for the healthy operation of the human body. Potassium occurs naturally in our environment and thus our bodies) as three isotopes: Potassium-39, Potassium-40, and Potassium-41. Their current abundances are 93.26%, 0.012% and 6.728%. A typical human body contains about 3.0 grams of Potassium per kilogram of body mass. 1. How much Potassium-40 is present in a person with a mass of 80 kg? 2. If, on average, the decay of Potassium-40 results in 1.10 MeV of energy absorbed, determine the effective dose (in Sieverts) per year due to Potassium-40 in an 80- kg body. Assume an RBE of 1.2. The half-life of Potassium-40 is 1.28 * 10^9years.

Answer:

The potassium-40 present in 80 kg is  Z = 0.0288 *10^{-3}\ kg

The effective dose absorbed per year is  x = 2.06 *10^{-24} per year

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

      The mass of potassium in 1 kg of human body is m =  3g= \frac{3}{1000} =  3*10^{-3} \ kg

      The mass of the person is M = 80 \ kg

       The abundance of Potassium-39 is   93.26%

        The abundance of Potassium-40 is   0.012%

         The abundance of Potassium-41 is   6.78 %

         The energy absorbed is  E =  1.10MeV = 1.10 *10^{6} * 1.602 *10^{-19} = 1.7622*10^{-13} J

Now  1 kg of human body contains       3.0*10^{-3}\ kg of  Potassium

So      80 kg of human body contains      k kg of  Potassium

=>   k = \frac{ 80 * 3*10^{-3}}{1}

     k = 0.240\  kg

Now from the question potassium-40 is  0.012% of the total  potassium so

     Amount of potassium-40  present is mathematically represented as

            Z = \frac{0.012}{100}  * 0.240

            Z = 0.0288 *10^{-3}\ kg

The effective dose (in Sieverts) per year due to Potassium-40 in an 80- kg body is mathematically evaluated as

           D =  \frac{E}{M}

Substituting values

          D =  \frac{1.7622*10^{-13}}{80}

            D =  2.2*10^{-15} J/kg

Converting to Sieverts

We have

           D_s = REB * D

           D_s = 1.2 * 2.2 *10^{-15}

           D_s =  2.64 *10^{-15}

So

     for half-life (1.28 *10^9 \ years)  the dose is  2.64 *10^{-15}

     Then for 1  year the dose would be  x

=>         x = \frac{2.64 *10^{-15}}{1.28 * 10^9}

             x = 2.06 *10^{-24} per year
