Answer:

B.Ionizing radiation is the correct answer.

Explanation:

Ionizing radiation has sufficient energy that it can convert atoms and molecules into ions.

It has a sufficient amount of energy that it can separate tightly confined electrons from the orbit of an atom and causing that atom to become ionized.

Work done = Change in gravitational potential energy

So solving algebraically for work done would be

Work done = $m*g*h$

where m is mass

g is acceleration due to gravity

and h is the height

Work done in terms of force and distance is = mg

where m is mass of bucket and

g is acceleration due to gravity

Explanation:

a) At the start, potential and kinetic energy were zero. so, energy is zero.

As the person pulls the bucket up, the potential energy becomes mgh.

so,final energy will be consisting of only potential energy.

B) Here work done is equal to change in gravitational potential energy.

W = $\Delta P.E$

W = m*g*h

where g = 9.9 m/ $s^2$

C) Work = force * distance

mgh = force * h

force = mg

force = weight of bucket

Which stage of shock encompasses mechanical ventilation, altered level of consciousness, and profound acidosis?

bixtya [17]

Answer:

It is considered as the last phase of the shock when the patient become stupor and needs a life support of mechanical ventilation. It's called the irreversible shock as it leads to the failure of organ or a death of a patient.

Which two energy sources can help a star maintain its internal thermal pressure? nuclear fission and gravitational contraction n

3241004551 [841]

Answer:

Nuclear fusion and gravitational contraction

Explanation:

In stars, there is an equilibrium between two forces, the force of gravity in the inward direction due to their own mass, and the radiation pressure in the upward direction as a consequence of the nuclear reaction in their core, that is known as hydrostatic equilibrium.

The radiation pressure is gotten from the nuclear reactions at the core (when lighter elements fuse into heavier elements), but if the nuclear reactions stop, hence, the radiation pressure will also do it and the force of gravity will overcome and break the equilibrium.

Both of that energy sources help to maintain a star's internal thermal pressure, since the contractions of the superficial layers will increase the density at the core.
