Answer:

1.32142x10^-3 Gy

Explanation:

Mass m = 63kg

Time t = 5.0s

Beta energy = 1.5x19^-13J

1 Ci = 3.7x10¹⁰

3.0Ci = 3x3.7x10¹⁰

= 11.1x10¹⁰decay/s

We have a total of 11.1x10¹⁰ beta particles produced per second

The question says there is 100% absorption

Et = (11.1x10¹⁰)x5x1.5x10^-13

= 0.08325

The radiation dose = Et/m

= 0.08325/63 kg

= 0.001321428J/kg

= 0.001321428 grays

Or 1.32142x10^-3 Gy

Newton's First and Second Laws of Motion:Question 3Kepler-10b, the first confirmed terrestrial extrasolar planet, is about 564 l
OleMash [197]

Answer:

F = 85696.5 N = 85.69 KN

Explanation:

In this scenario, we apply Newton's Second Law:

Unbalanced\ Force = ma\\Upthrust - Weight\ of\ Space\ Craft = ma\\F - W = ma\\F - mg = ma\\F = m(g + a)\\

where,

F = Upthrust = ?

m = mass of space craft = 5000 kg

g = acceleration due to gravity on surface of Kepler-10b = (1.53)(9.81 m/s²)

g = 15.0093 m/s²

a = acceleration required = 2.13 m/s²

Therefore,

F = (5000\ kg)(15.0093\ m/s^{2} + 2.13\ m/s^{2})\\

<u>F = 85696.5 N = 85.69 KN</u>

Remember that the total velocity of the motion is the vector sum of the velocity you would have in still water and the stream. Always place the vectors carefully to be able to come up with an accurate sum vector.

Which of these steps would most likely be part of a lab procedure?
Snezhnost [94]

Answer:

These are a part of lab procedures:

1. Write a hypothesis to answer a question.

2. Write a title at the top of a completed lab report.

3. Record the time to complete a chemical reaction.

These are NOT a part of lab procedures:

1. Create a question on the cause of a chemical reaction.

72.0-kg person pushes on a small doorknob with a force of 5.00 N perpendicular to the surface of the door. The doorknob is locat
expeople1 [14]

Answer:I=2 kg-m^2

Explanation:

Given

mass m=72 kg

Force F=5 N

door knob is located at a distance of r=0.8 m from axis

Angular acceleration of door \alpha =2 rad/s^2

Torque T=I\alpha =F\times r

where I=moment of inertia

5\times 0.8=I\times 2

I=2 kg-m^2
