4. KE increases by a factor of 16 is the answer

<u>Explanation:</u>

Kinetic energy = (1/2)mv² = 0.5 mv²

where

m = mass, and v = velocity.

So at 15 mph,

K E = 0.5 m (15) ² = 112.5 m

And at 60 mph,

K E = 0.5 m (60)² = 1800 m

m is the mass, and not meters.

So, 1800 m/112. 5 m = 16

16 times the Kinetic Energy.

A solid conducting sphere of radius 2.00 cm has a charge of 6.77 μC. A conducting spherical shell of inner radius 4.00 cm and ou

madreJ [45]

Answer:

Part a)

E = 0

Part b)

$E = 6.77 \times 10^7 N/C$

Part c)

Electric field inside the conductor is again zero

$E = 0$

Part d)

$E = 8.52 \times 10^6 N/C$

Explanation:

Part a)

conducting sphere is of radius

R = 2 cm

so electric field inside any conductor is always zero

So electric field at r = 1 cm

E = 0

Part b)

Now at r = 3 cm

By Gauss law

$E = \frac{kq}{r^2}$

$E = \frac{(9\times 10^9)(6.77 \muC)}{0.03^2}$

$E = 6.77 \times 10^7 N/C$

Part c)

Again when we use r = 4.50 cm

then we will have

Electric field inside the conductor is again zero

$E = 0$

Part d)

Now at r = 7 cm

again by Gauss law

$E = \frac{kQ}{r^2}$

$E = \frac{(9\times 10^9)(6.77\mu C - 2.13\mu C)}{0.07^2}$

$E = 8.52 \times 10^6 N/C$

Two different sources of radiation give the same dose equivalent in Sv. Does this mean that the radiation from each source has t

Alisiya [41]

The product of the dosage Gy and relative biological efficiency yields a radiation dose equivalent Sv (RBE).

Sv =dose in Gy * RBE Sv=dose in GyRBE

The quantity of ionising energy absorbed by 1 text kg1 kg of tissue is defined as a radiation dose Gy. While RBE is a measure of a specific dose's biological effect relative to the biological effect of an equal quantity of X rays.

<h3>What is radiation?</h3>

Radiation is energy that moves through space at the speed of light from a source. This energy is coupled with an electric and magnetic field, and it exhibits wave-like qualities. Radiation is sometimes known as "electromagnetic waves."

Nature has a diverse variety of electromagnetic radiation. One example is visible light.

X-rays and gamma rays are extremely energetic. They may take electrons from atoms when they engage with them, causing the atom to become ionised.

When nuclear fission occurs some mass is lost where does that mass go

horrorfan [7]

The loss of matter is called the mass defect. The missing matter is converted into energy. You can actually calculate the amount of energy produced during a nuclear reaction with fairly simple equation developed by Albert Einstein; E = mc^2. In this equation, E is the amount of energy produced, m is the missing mass, or the mass defect, and c is the speed of light, which is a rather large number. The speed of light is squared, making that part of the equation a very large number that, even when multiplied by a small amount of mass, yields a large amount of energy.

An airplane starts from rest and accelerates at 10.8 m/s2 . what is its speed at the end of a 400 m long runway?

Cloud [144]

The final speed of an airplane is v = 92.95 m/s

The rate of change of position of an object in any direction is known as speed i.e. in other word, Speed is measured as the ratio of distance to the time in which the distance was covered.

Solution-

Here given,

Acceleration a= 10.8 m/s2 .

Displacement (s)= 400m

Then to find final speed of airplane v=?

Therefore from equation of motion can be written as,

v²=u²+ 2as

where, u is initial speed, v is final speed ,a is acceleration and s is displacement of the airplane. Therefore by putting the value of a & s in above equation and (u =0) i.e. the initial speed of airplane is zero.

v²= 2×10.8 m/s²×400m

v²=8640m/s

v=92.95m/s

hence the final speed of airplane v =92.95m/s
