<h3>yes, there are human health risks caused by exposure to x rays</h3>
  • describe the main risk (s) ::: - may cause damage to cells in the body

                                                      - large doses may lead cells to be cancerous        

                                                      - causes mutations in the DNA

  • describe common sources of exposure ( or overexposure ) :::

           - natural background radiation   e.g. - cosmic rays

           - medical radiation   e.g. - CT scans & medical x - rays

           - man - made radiation   e.g. - airport security scanners

  • describe a technology, device, or behavior that can be used for protection, or to decrease exposure :::

          - x - ray beam filters

          - digital x - ray detectors

          - technologies reduce radiation doses in radiography &  

            mammography

Si el coeficiente de fricción cinética entre los neumáticos y el pavimento seco es de 0.80. ¿Cuál es la distancia mínima para de
vovangra [49]

Answer: 52.9 metros.

Explanation:

Podemos escribir la fuerza de fricción cinética como

F = μ*N

donde N es la fuerza normal entre el coche y el suelo, cuya magnitud es igual al peso en esta situación.

F = μ*m*g

donde m es la masa del coche y g es 9.8m/s^2

y sabemos que μ = 0.8

Por la segunda ley de Newton, sabemos que:

F = m*a

fuerza es igual a masa por aceleración.

a = F/m

entonces la aceleración causada por la fuerza de rozamiento es:

F = 0.8*m*g

a = F/m = (0.8*m*g)/m = 0.8*g.

Entonces ya encontramos la aceleración, hay que recordar que esta aceleración es en sentido opuesto a la sentido de movimiento, entonces podemos escribir la aceleración como:

a(t) = -0.8*g

Para la velocidad, podemos integrar sobre el tiempo para obtener.

v(t) = -0.8*g*t + v0

donde v0 es la velocidad inicial del auto = 28.7m/s

v(t) = -0.8*g*t + 28.8m/s

Ahora podemos encontrar el tiempo necesario para que la velocidad del coche sea cero, en ese momento, como deja de moverse, ya no tendremos rozamiento cinético, entonces no habrá aceleración y el coche se detendrá completamente.

v(t) = 0m/s = -0.8*9.8m/s^2*t + 28.8m/s

7.84m/s^2*t = 28.8m/s

                 t   = (28.8m/s)/(7.84m/s^2) = 3.63 segundos.

Ahora vamos a la ecuación de movimiento, donde asumimos que la posición inicial del coche es 0m, así que no tendremos constante de integración.

p(t) = -(1/2)*(0.8*9.8m/s^2)*t^2 + 28.8m/s*t

Ahora podemos evaluar la posición en t = 3.63 segundos, y esto nos dara la distancia que el coche se movio mientras frenaba.

p(3.63s) = -(1/2)*(0.8*9.8m/s^2)*(3.63s)^2 + 28.8m/s*(3.63s) = 52.9 metros.

A light-rail commuter train accelerates at a rate of 1.35 m/s. D A 33% Part (a) How long does it take to reach its top speed of
Dennis_Churaev [7]

Answer:

a) 17.49 seconds

b) 13.12 seconds

c) 2.99 m/s²

Explanation:

a) Acceleration = a = 1.35 m/s²

Final velocity = v = 85 km/h = 85\frac{1000}{3600}=23.61\ m/s

Initial velocity = u = 0

Equation of motion

v=u+at\\\Rightarrow 23.61=0+1.35t\\\Rightarrow t=\frac{23.61}{1.35}=17.49\ s

Time taken to accelerate to top speed is 17.49 seconds.

b) Acceleration = a = -1.8 m/s²

Initial velocity = u = 23.61\ m/s

Final velocity = v = 0

v=u+at\\\Rightarrow 0=23.61-1.8t\\\Rightarrow t=\frac{23.61}{1.8}=13.12\ s

Time taken to stop the train from top speed is 13.12 seconds

c) Initial velocity = u = 23.61 m/s

Time taken = t = 7.9 s

Final velocity = v = 0

v=u+at\\\Rightarrow 0=23.61+a7.9\\\Rightarrow a=\frac{-23.61}{7.9}=-2.99\ m/s^2

Emergency acceleration is 2.99 m/s² (magnitude)

What is the period of a soundwave whose wavelength is 20.0 m? Use values from the book and show ALL of your work.
Liono4ka [1.6K]
<h3><u>Answer;</u></h3>

Period = 1/17 seconds

<h3><u>Explanation;</u></h3>
  • Wavelength is related to period by the expression:

<em>speed = wavelength / period </em>

  • If we are given the speed, then we can easily calculate the period at the wavelength of 20 m.

<em>Given the speed of sound wave as 340 m/s </em>

<em>Period = Wavelength/ speed</em>

<em>            = 20 m/340 m/s</em>

<em>            </em><u><em>= 1/17 seconds</em></u>
