6 0

Answer:

16 times.

Explanation:

The rate of the radiation dose is , R = 200 ×10^{-3} rad/hr

Time consumed, t = 40 hr

The magnitude of Q.F for the neutrons, Q.F = 2

Thus the effective radiation dose is:

R_{Eff} = Rt(Q.F) \\= 200 \times 10^{-3} \frac{rad}{hr} (40hr)(2) \\= 16 \ rad

Thus, the effective dose allowable yearly = 16 times

Calculat the acceleration of a person at latitude<br> 40degreesowing to the rotation of the earth.
beks73 [17]

Answer:

acceleration of person = 9.77 m/s²

Explanation:

given data

latitude = 40 degree

to find out

Calculate the acceleration of a person

solution

we know that here 40 degree = 0.698 rad

so

acceleration of person = g - ω²R    ...............1

and 1 rotation complete in 24 hours = 360 degree

here g is 9.81

so we know Earth angular speed ω = 7.27 × 10^{-5} rad/s and R is earth radius that is 6.37 × 10^{6} m

so

put here value in equation 1 we get

acceleration of person = g - ω²R

acceleration of person = 9.81 - (7.27 × 10^{-5})² × 6.37 × 10^{6}

acceleration of person = 9.77 m/s²

Find the unknown mass of the block 1 needed to balance the bar. Assume that the mass of the bar is negligible. Block 1 is locate
Natasha2012 [34]

Answer:

Incomplete question: The masses of the blocks m₂ = 1.5 kg and m₃ = 2 kg

Explanation:

Given data:

L₁ = length = 0.85 m

L₂ = 0.25 m

L₃ = 0.5 m

m₂ = 1.5 kg

m₃ = 2 kg

Question: Find the unknown mass of the block 1 needed to balance the bar, m₁ = ?

The torque is zero (intermediate point of the bar)

-m_{1} gL_{1} +m_{2} gL_{2} +m_{3} gL_{3} =0

Is negative because mass 1 is to the left of the coordinate system (see the diagram)

m_{1} =\frac{m_{2} gL_{2}+m_{3} gL_{3}  }{L_{1} } =\frac{(1.5*0.25)+(2*0.5)}{0.85} =1.6176kg

1600 AM broadcasts radio waves with wavelengths<br> of about 187.37 m. Convert this to miles.
nikklg [1K]

Answer:

The wavelength in miles is <u>0.1165 miles</u>.

Explanation:

Given:

Wavelength of the radio wave is 187.37 m.

Now, the wavelength is given in meters.

We need to convert the wavelength from meters to miles.

In order to convert meters to miles, we have to use their conversion factor.

We know that,

1 meter = \frac{1}{1609}\ miles

Therefore, the conversion factor is given as:

CF=\frac{1}{1609}\ miles\ per\ meter

So, the wavelength in miles is given as:

Wavelength=\textrm{Wavelength in meters}\times CF\\\\Wavelength=187.37\ m\times \frac{\frac{1}{1609}\ miles}{1\ m}\\\\Wavelength=\frac{187.37}{1609}\ miles\\\\Wavelength=0.1165\ miles

Hence, the wavelength in miles is 0.1165 miles.
