Answer:

Of the three stars in the system, the dimmest - called Proxima Centauri - is actually the nearest star to the Sun. The two bright stars, called Alpha Centauri A and B form a close binary system; they are separated by only 23 times the Earth - Sun distance.

postnew [5]

Answer:

A. The athlete isn’t doing any work because he doesn’t move the weight.

Explanation:

We must remember the definition of work, which says that work is equal to the product of mass by the distance displaced. In this case, the athlete only does work when he lifts the weight from the ground to the point where he holds the weight suspended.

So when he's holding the weight, he doesn't do any work.

If you hold your hand over a pot of boiling water, it feels hot. Explain how the boiling water is transforming heat to your hand
MakcuM [25]

I don't no if this helps but the body heat from your hand causes the liquid to boil, which in turn makes the liquid evaporate, turning it to gas. The expanding gas pushes the liquid upwards and when you release your hand, equilibrium is re-established.

Bond [772]

Answer:

v = 66 m/s

Explanation:

Given that,

The initial velocity of a car, u = 0

Acceleration of the car, a = 11 m/s²

We need to find the final velocity of the toy after 6 seconds.

Let v is the final velocity. It can be calculated using first equation of motion. It is given by :

v = u +at

v = 0 + 11 m/s² × 6 s

v = 66 m/s

So, the final velocity of the car is 66 m/s.

Potassium is a crucial element for the healthy operation of the human body. Potassium occurs naturally in our environment and th
Mariulka [41]

Answer:

a) 0.0288 grams

b) 2.6*10^{-10} J/kg

Explanation:

Given that:

A typical human  body contains about 3.0 grams of Potassium per kilogram of body mass

The abundance  for the three isotopes are:

Potassium-39, Potassium-40, and Potassium-41 with abundances are 93.26%, 0.012% and 6.728% respectively.

a)

Thus; a person with a mass of 80 kg will posses = 80 × 3 = 240 grams of potassium.

However, the amount of potassium that is present in such person is :

0.012% × 240 grams

= 0.012/100 × 240 grams

= 0.0288 grams

b)

the effective dose (in Sieverts) per year due to Potassium-40 in an 80- kg body is calculate as follows:

First the Dose in (Gy) = \frac{energy \ absorbed }{mass \ of \ the \ body}

= \frac{1.10*10^6*1.6*10^{-14}}{80}

= 2.2*10^{-10} \ J/kg

Effective dose (Sv) = RBE × Dose in Gy

Effective dose (Sv) =  1.2  *2.2*10^{-10} \ J/kg

Effective dose (Sv) = 2.6*10^{-10} J/kg
