Answer:

The US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) sets limits for exposure to x-rays and gamma rays in part because it recognizes that this form of radiation can cause cancer.

Refer to the diagram shown below.

For horizontal equilibrium,
T₃ cos38 = T₂ cos 50
0.788 T₃ = 0.6428 T₂
T₃ = 0.8157 T₂                (1)

For vertical equilibrium,
T₂ sin 50 + T₃ sin 38 = 430
0.766 T₂ + 0.6157 T₃ = 430
1.2441 T₂ + T₃ = 698.392        (2)

Substitute (1) into (2).
(1.2441 + 0.8157) T₂ = 698.392
T₂ = 339.058 N
T₃ = 0.8157(399.058) = 276.571 N

Answer:
T₂ = 339.06 N
T₃ = 276.57 N

An iron atom (Fe) has 26 protons in it. If the atom has 20 electrons in it, explain what type of charge it has and how you can t
gogolik [260]

Answer:

The iron atom has a positive charge, making it a cation.

Explanation:

The atom has a nucleus, where the protons and neutrons, which are the subatomic particles with the highest mass, are located. Practically all the mass of the atom is concentrated in the nucleus.Protons have a positive electrical charge, while neutrons have no charge.

Electrons move around the nucleus with other negatively charged particles.

An iron atom (Fe) has 26 protons and 20 electrons in it.  That is, there are 6 more protons than electrons. As mentioned, protons are positively charged. So <u><em>the iron atom has a positive charge, making it a cation</em></u>.

Nuclear fusion is the process by which multiple nuclei join together to form a heavier nucleus.

Nuclear fusion of light elements releases the energy that causes stars to shine and hydrogen bombs to explode.

Nuclear fusion of heavy elements (absorbing energy) occurs in the extremely high-energy conditions of supernova explosions.

Nuclear fusion in stars and supernovae is the primary process by which new natural elements are created.

It is this reaction that is harnessed in fusion power.

It takes considerable energy to force nuclei to fuse, even those of the lightest element, hydrogen.

A girl with a mass of 27 kg is playing on a swing. There are three main forces
N76 [4]

The tension in the swing's chain at the bottom of the swing is 178.35 N.

The given parameters:

  • Mass of the girl, m = 27 kg
  • Speed of the girl, v = 3 m/s
  • Radius of the circle, r = 4 m

The tension in the swing's chain at the bottom of the swing is calculated as follows;

T = mg + ma_c\\\\ T= mg + \frac{mv^2}{r} \\\\T = (12 \times 9.8) + (\frac{27 \times 3^2}{4} )\\\\T = 117.6 \ N \ + \ 60.75 \ N\\\\T = 178.35 \ N

Thus, the tension in the swing's chain at the bottom of the swing is 178.35 N.
