What is the reason so many poisonings go undetected at first?

Poisonings mostly have no taste or smell. Thallium is one of the poisons that are hard to detect. Most of these poisons are always prescribed to many patients and can be misused. We also have to take into consideration thay poisoning attacks our immune system and internal organs. Side effects of poisoning are flue like. So when the individual is feeling ill. nobody is going to think it’s poison at first until about 30 mins to an hour. that’s why it takes so long to be undetected at first. because of the symptoms, smell, taste..... it can really be easy to poison someone

A 26 foot ladder is lowered down a vertical wall at a rate of 3 feet per minute. The base of the ladder is sliding away from the

lakkis [162]

Answer:

(i) 7.2 feet per minute.

(ii) No, the rate would be different.

(iii) The rate would be always positive.

(iv) the resultant change would be constant.

(v) 0 feet per min

Explanation:

Let the length of ladder is l, x be the height of the top of the ladder from the ground and y be the length of the bottom of the ladder from the wall,

By making the diagram of this situation,

Applying Pythagoras theorem,

$l^2 = x^2 + y^2-----(1)$

Differentiating with respect to t ( time ),

$0=2x\frac{dx}{dt} + 2y\frac{dy}{dt}$ ( l = 26 feet = constant )

$\implies 2y\frac{dy}{dt} = -2x\frac{dx}{dt}$

$\implies \frac{dy}{dt}=-\frac{x}{y}\frac{dx}{dt}$

We have,

$y = 10, \frac{dx}{dt}= -3\text{ feet per min}$

$\frac{dy}{dt}=\frac{3x}{10}-----(X)$

(i) From equation (1),

$26^2 = x^2 + 10^2$

$676=x^2 + 100$

$576 = x^2$

$\implies x = 24\text{ feet}$

From equation (X),

$\frac{dy}{dt}=\frac{3\times 24}{10}=7.2\text{ feet per min}$

(ii) From equation (X),

$\frac{dy}{dt}\propto x$

Thus, for different value of x the value of $\frac{dy}{dt}$ would be different.

(iii) Since, distance = Positive number,

So, the value of y will always a positive number.

Thus, from equation (X),

The rate would always be a positive.

(iv) The length of the ladder is constant, so, the resultant change would be constant.

i.e. x = increases ⇒ y = decreases

y = decreases ⇒ y = increases

(v) if ladder hit the ground x = 0,

So, from equation (X),

$\frac{dy}{dt}=0\text{ feet per min}$

I need both parts please (a) Given a material with an attenuation coefficient (a) of 0.6/cm, what is the intensity of a beam (wi

Masteriza [31]

Answer:

After it has traveled through 1 cm : $I(1 \ cm) = 0.5488 I_0$

After it has traveled through 2 cm : $I(2 \ cm) = 0.3012 I_0$

After it has traveled through 1 cm : $od( 1\ cm) = 0.2606$

After it has traveled through 2 cm : $od( 2\ cm) = 0.5211$

Explanation:

For this problem, we can use the Beer-Lambert law. For constant attenuation coefficient $\mu$ the formula is:

$I(x) = I_0 e^{-\mu x}$

where I is the intensity of the beam, $I_0$ is the incident intensity and x is the length of the material traveled.

For our problem, after travelling 1 cm:

$I(1 \ cm) = I_0 e^{- 0.6 \frac{1}{cm} \ 1 cm}$

$I(1 \ cm) = I_0 e^{- 0.6}$

$I(1 \ cm) = 0.5488 \ I_0$

After travelling 2 cm:

$I(2 \ cm) = I_0 e^{- 0.6 \frac{1}{cm} \ 2 cm}$

$I(2 \ cm) = I_0 e^{- 1.2}$

$I(2 \ cm) = 0.3012 \ I_0$

The optical density od is given by:

$od(x) = - log_{10} ( \frac{I(x)}{I_0} )$ .

So, after travelling 1 cm:

$od( 1\ cm) = - log_{10} ( \frac{0.5488 \ I_0}{I_0} )$

$od( 1\ cm) = - log_{10} ( 0.5488 )$

$od( 1\ cm) = - ( - 0.2606)$

$od( 1\ cm) = 0.2606$

After travelling 2 cm:

$od( 2\ cm) = - log_{10} ( \frac{0.3012 \ I_0}{I_0} )$

$od( 2\ cm) = - log_{10} ( 0.3012 )$

$od( 2\ cm) = - ( - 0.5211)$

$od( 2\ cm) = 0.5211$
