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.

The velocity of a particle traveling in a straight line is given by v = (6t - 3t²) m/s, where t is in seconds. If s = 0 when t =
qaws [65]

Answer

given,

v = (6 t - 3 t²) m/s

we know,

v = \dfrac{dx}{dt}

a = \dfrac{dv}{dt}

position of the particle

dx = v dt

integrating both side

\int dx = (6t - 3 t^2)\int dt

 x = 3 t² - t³

Position of the particle at t= 3 s

 x = 3  x 3² - 3³

 x = 0 m

now, particle’s deceleration

a = \dfrac{dv}{dt}

a = \dfrac{d}{dt}(6t - 3 t^2)

  a = 6 - 6 t

at t= 3 s

    a = 6 - 6 x 3

    a = -12 m/s²

distance traveled by the particle

  x = 3 t² - t³

at t = 0 x = 0

   t = 1 s   , x = 3 (1)² - 1³ = 2 m

   t = 2 s  ,  x = 3(2)² - 2³ = 4 m

   t = 3 s ,   x =  0 m

total distance traveled by the particle

D = distance in 0-1 s + distance in 1 -2 s + distance in 2 -3 s

D = 2 + 4 + 2 = 8 m

average speed of the particle

v_{avg} = \dfrac{distance}{time}

v_{avg} = \dfrac{8}{3}

v_{avg} =2.67\ m/s

For sprinters running at 12 m/s around a curved track of radius 26 m, how much greater (as a percentage) is the average total fo
Snezhnost [94]

Answer:

114.86%

Explanation:

In both cases, there is a vertical force equal to the sprinter's weight:

Fy = mg

When running in a circle, there is an additional centripetal force:

Fx = mv²/r

The net force is found with Pythagorean theorem:

F² = Fx² + Fy²

F² = (mv²/r)² + (mg)²

F² = m² ((v²/r)² + g²)

F = m √((v²/r)² + g²)

Compared to just the vertical force:

F / Fy

m √((v²/r)² + g²) / mg

√((v²/r)² + g²) / g

Given v = 12 m/s, r = 26 m, and g = 9.8 m/s²:

√((12²/26)² + 9.8²) / 9.8

1.1486

The force is about 114.86% greater (round as needed).

To open a soda can lid, you can apply a force of 50 N to a car key wedged under
AysviL [449]

Answer:

7.8

Explanation:

Here, an effort of 50 N is applied at the car key and overcomes the resistance(or load) of 390 N at the lid.

mechanical advantage

=load/effort

=390 N/50 N

=7.8
