A rocket-launching vehicle is moving forward at a constant velocity of 5 m/s. a cannon on the vehicle shoots a shell straight up

with a velocity of 20 m/s. the shell moves without friction, (no air resistance). how high does the shell go, in m?

For any object thrown upwards where only the force of gravity is acting upon it, uses the following formula for the maximum height attained.

H= v²/2g, where g = 9.81 m/s²

There are two information of velocities are given. However, we use the 20 m/s information because this is the launch velocity. Hence, the solution is as follows:

H = (20 m/s)²/2(9.81 m/s²)
<em>H = 20.4 m</em>

Calculate the effective radiation dosage in sieverts for a 57 57 ‑kg person who is exposed to 4.2 × 10 9 4.2×109 particles of al
Rus_ich [418]

Answer:

  Dose = 5.4 10⁻⁴  Sv

Explanation:

The radiation dose absorbed by the body is 81% of the incident radiation, which is the number of particles per energy of each particle

    E = 0.81 n₀ E₀

    E = 0.81 4.2 10⁹ 0.81 6.1 10⁻¹³

    E = 2.075 10⁻³ J

Effective radiation dose

     Dose1 = n x RBE

     Dose1 = 2,075 10⁻³ 15

     Dose1 = 3.1 10⁻² REM

The effective radiation dose in sievert

          Dose = dose1 / m

          Dose = 3.1 10⁻² / 57

          Dose = 5.4 10⁻⁴      [j / kg]

          Dose = 5.4 10⁻⁴  Sv

A thin, rectangular sheet of metal has mass M and sides of length a and b. Find the moment of inertia of this sheet about an axi
slega [8]
We divide the thin rectangular sheet in small parts of height b and length dr. All these sheets are parallel to b. The infinitesimal moment of inertia of one of these small parts is
dI =r^2*dm
where dm =M(b*dr)/(ab)
Now we find the moment of inertia by integrating from -a/2 to a/2
The moment of inertia is
I= \int\limits^{-a/2}_{a/2} {r^2*dm} = M \int\limits^{-a/2}_{a/2} r^2(b*dr)/(ab)=(M/a)(r^3/3) (from (-a/2) toI=(M/3a)(a^3/8 +a^3/8)=(Ma^2)/12 (a/2))
