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}

Breathing on a cold window can cause it to fog up. which change of state causes this
Dominik [7]
When you breathe on a cold window and it fogs up, that change of state is called: Condensation.

Condensation is: The process in which molecules of a gas slow down, come together, and form a liquid water that collects as droplets on a cold surface when humid air is in contact with it.

I know this because I learned it in science class in school.

Hope I helped!

una bala de 20 g choca con un fango como se muestra en la figura y penetra una distancia de 6 cm antes de detenerse. calcule la
aleksklad [387]

Answer:

A 20g bullet collides with a mud as shown in the figure and penetrates a distance of 6cm before stopping. calculate the braking force f if the input speed was 80m/s

Explanation:

Given that,

A bullet of mass

M = 20g = 0.02kg

The bullet is fired into a mud initially at rest

The bullet penetrate a distance of 6cm in the mud

S = 6cm = 0.06m

The input velocity into the mud is 80m/s, this implies that, the initial velocity is 80m/s

U = 80m/s

So, the bullet stop after a distance of 6cm, so the final velocity is 0m/s

V = 0m/s

So, we need to find the braking force

Breaking force (F) is given as

F = ma

Where m is mass and 'a' is deceleration

So, we need to find the deceleration, using equation of motion

V² = U² + 2as

0² = 80² + 2 × a × 0.06

0 = 6400 + 0.12a

0.12a = -6400

a = -6400 / 0.12

a = - 53,333.33 m/s²

So, the negative sign shows that the bullet is decelerating

So, a = 53,333.33 m/s²

So, breaking force

F = ma

F = 0.02 × 53,333.33

F = 1066.67 N

The breaking force is 1066.67 N

In spanish

Dado que,

Una bala de masa

M = 20 g = 0.02 kg

La bala se dispara en un lodo inicialmente en reposo

La bala penetra una distancia de 6 cm en el barro.

S = 6 cm = 0.06 m

La velocidad de entrada al lodo es de 80 m / s, esto implica que la velocidad inicial es de 80 m / s

U = 80 m / s

Entonces, la bala se detiene después de una distancia de 6 cm, por lo que la velocidad final es de 0 m / s

V = 0 m / s

Entonces, necesitamos encontrar la fuerza de frenado

La fuerza de ruptura (F) se da como

F = ma

Donde m es masa y 'a' es desaceleración

Entonces, necesitamos encontrar la desaceleración, usando la ecuación de movimiento

V² = U² + 2as

0² = 80² + 2 × a × 0.06

0 = 6400 + 0.12a

0.12a = -6400

a = -6400 / 0.12

a = - 53,333.33 m / s²

Entonces, el signo negativo muestra que la bala se está desacelerando

Entonces, a = 53,333.33 m / s²

Entonces, fuerza de ruptura

F = ma

F = 0.02 × 53,333.33

F = 1066.67 N

La fuerza de ruptura es 1066.67 N
