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

nexus9112 [7]

Answer:

the magnitude of the electric force on the projectile is 0.0335N

Explanation:

time of flight t = 2·V·sinθ/g

= (2 * 6.0m/s * sin35º) / 9.8m/s²

= 0.702 s

The body travels for this much time and cover horizontal displacement x from the point of lunch

So, use kinematic equation for horizontal motion

horizontal displacement

x = Vcosθ*t + ½at²

2.9 m = 6.0m/s * cos35º * 0.702s + ½a * (0.702s)²

a = -2.23 m/s²

This is the horizontal acceleration of the object.

Since the object is subject to only electric force in horizontal direction, this acceleration is due to electric force only

Therefore,the magnitude of the electric force on the projectile will be

F = m*|a|

= 0.015kg * 2.23m/s²

= 0.0335 N

Thus, the magnitude of the electric force on the projectile is 0.0335N

A ball of mass 0.150 kg is dropped from rest from a height of 1.25 m. It rebounds from the floor to reach a height of 0.665 m. W
Liula [17]

Answer:

Impulse is 1.239 kg.m/s in upward direction

Explanation:

Taking upward motion as positive and downward motion as negative.

Downward motion:

Given:

Mass of ball (m) = 0.150 kg

Displacement of ball (S) = -1.25 m

Initial velocity (u) = 0 m/s

Acceleration is due to gravity (g) = -9.8 m/s²

Using equation of motion, we have:

v_d^2=u^2+2aS\\\\v=\pm\sqrt{u^2+2aS}\\\\v_d=\pm\sqrt{0+2\times -9.8\times -1.25}\\\\v_d=\pm\sqrt{24.5}=\pm4.95\ m/s

Since, the motion is downward, final velocity must be negative. So,

v_d=-4.95\ m/s

Upward motion:

Given:

Displacement of ball (S) = 0.665 m

Initial velocity (v_d) = 4.95 m/s(Upward direction)

Acceleration is due to gravity (g) = -9.8 m/s²

Using equation of motion, we have:

v_{up}^2=v_d^2+2aS\\\\v_{up}=\pm\sqrt{v_d^2+2aS}\\\\v_{up}=\pm\sqrt{24.5+2\times -9.8\times 0.665}\\\\v_{up}=\pm\sqrt{10.966}=\pm3.31\ m/s

Since, the motion is upward, final velocity must be positive. So,

v_{up}=3.31\ m/s

Now, impulse is equal to change in momentum. So,

Impulse = Final momentum - Initial momentum

J=m(v_{up}-v_d)\\\\J=(0.150\ kg)(3.31-(-4.95))\ m/s\\\\J=0.150\ kg\times 8.26\ m/s\\\\J=1.239\ Ns

Therefore, the impulse given to the ball by the floor is 1.239 kg.m/s in upward direction.
