Answer:

Explanation:

A large fraction of astronomical gamma rays are screened by Earth's atmosphere. Gamma rays are ionizing radiation and are thus biologically hazardous. Due to their high penetration power, they can damage bone marrow and internal organs.

The extremely high energy of gamma rays allows them to penetrate just about anything. They can even pass through bones and teeth. This makes gamma rays very dangerous. They can destroy living cells, produce gene mutations, and cause cancer.

dmitriy555 [2]

Answer:

$a=20\ m/s^2$

Explanation:

Given that,

The mass of an object, m = 3 kg

The radius of a circle, r = 0.2 m

The speed of the object, v = 2 m/s

We need to find the centripetal acceleration. Its formula is given by :

$a=\dfrac{v^2}{r}\\\\a=\dfrac{(2)^2}{0.2}\\\\a=20\ m/s^2$

So, the centripetal acceleration is $20\ m/s^2$ .
