Answer:

The given blanks can be filled with harmless and a sheet of paper.

Explanation:

Chromium-51 is a chromium’s radioactive isotope. It has an application in medical diagnosis, as it is used to mark RBCs for the determination of red cell volume or mass, sequestration studies, survival time, and for the determination of gastrointestinal bleeding, and is utilized to mark platelets to examine their survival.  

The chromium-51 gives off relatively harmless alpha particles, which can be even prevented by a sheet of paper. The alpha particles do not exhibit a high concentration of energy and are not very ionizing, as they possess a high mass. This makes them comparatively safer to function with.

How would increased chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) in the atmosphere affect the growth of vegetation throughout the world?
IgorC [24]
Chlorofluorocarbons are a class of organic compounds that were used as propellants in the late 20th century. The problem with CFC's is that they attack the ozone layer, breaking it down. The weakened ozone layer is not able to stop UV light from reaching the earth, so the amount of UV light reaching the earth increases. This results in increased temperatures, and the death of vegetation.

Therefore, the answer is B.

Answer:

The acceleration of ball is 18 m/s².

Explanation:

Definition:

The acceleration is rate of change of velocity of an object with respect to time.

Formula:

a = Δv/Δt

a = acceleration

Δv = change in velocity

Δt = change in time

Units:

The unit of acceleration is m.s⁻².

Acceleration can also be determine through following formula,

F = m × a

a = F/m

Given data:

Mass of ball = 0.60 kg

Force on it = 10.8 N

Acceleration = ?

Solution:

a =  10.8 N/0.60 kg

a = 18 N/kg

N = kg.m/s²

a = 18 kg.m/s² / kg

a = 18 m/s²
