Explain why ionizing radiation is dangerous?​

Physics
1 answer:
Dafna11 [192]3 years ago
8 0

Answer:

When the dose is high enough, ionizing radiation causes two types of harm to humans: direct tissue damage and cancer. Direct tissue damage happens when enough molecules are broken apart that the cells simply can no longer function. This can lead to radiation burns, radiation sickness, organ failure, and even death.

What is the definition of work when net force is parallel to the distance?
goldfiish [28.3K]
Work in general is given by W=F·d where F is the force vector and d is the displacement vector.  The dot symbol is the dot product which is a measure of how parallel two vectors are.  It can be replaced by the cosine of the angle between the two vectors and the vectors replaced by their magnitudes.  If F and d are parallel then the angle is zero and the cosine is unity.  So in this case work can be defined as the product of the magnitudes of the force and distance:

What is the forms of energy given below.
Damm [24]

Answer:

Lightening of the table lamp

Explanation:

Energy has a different form of energy. In physics, the capacity of the form of energy is work. The energy can exist in the form of thermal, potential, kinetic, chemical and electrical, and nuclear. There are other forms of energy such as work and heat.

The energy is designated according to the nature of the objects. So that when heat transferred it has been changed into thermal. All the forms of energy are related to the motion of an object. Energy can neither destroyed or created.

A ball of 10kg falls from rest from a height of 150m, Neglating air resistance, calculate its kinetic energy after falling a dis
GaryK [48]

Answer: 3920\ J

Explanation:

Given

mass of ball m=10 kg

It is placed at a height of 150 m

It is dropped from the height and allowed to free fall for 40 m

Velocity acquired by the ball during this fall is given by v^2-u^2=2as

Insert u=0, a=g

\Rightarrow v^2-0=2\times 9.8\times 40\\\Rightarrow v=\sqrt{784}\\\Rightarrow v=28\ m/s

Kinetic energy at this instant

K.E.=\dfrac{1}{2}\times 10\times 28^2\\\\\Rightarrow K.E.=3920\ J
