3 0

The radiation dose absorbed by a person is measured using the conventional unit rad or the SI unit gray. The biological risk of exposure to radiation is measured using the conventional unit rem or the SI unit sievert.

I hope this helps!

What speed would a fly with a mass of 0.55g need in order to have a kinetic energy of 7.6 •10^4 j?
masya89 [10]

Answer:

16613 m/s

Explanation:

Given that

mass of the fly, m = 0.55 g = 0.55*10^-3 kg

Kinetic Energy of the fly, E = 7.6*10^4 J

Speed of the fly, v = ? m/s

We know that the Kinetic Energy is that energy that an object, in this case, the fly, possesses due to its motion.

The Kinetic Energy, KE of any object is represented by the formula

KE = 1/2 * m * v²

If we substitute the values in the relation, we have,

7.6*10^4 = 1/2 * 0.55*10^-3 * v²

v² = (15.2*10^4) / 0.55*10^-3

v² = 2.76*10^8

v = √2.76*10^8

v = 16613 m/s

Thus, the fly would need a speed of 16.6 km/s in order to have a Kinetic Energy of 7.6*10^4 J

We know that the law of conservation of energy states that energy can not be created or destroyed. It only changes form. Conside
Pavel [41]

The conservation of energy always holds true even when not clearly observable in machines that are less than 100% efficient. More often than not a machine will suffer energy losses (e.g. consider for a cooling fan: friction between the rotating blades, drag resistance in the air the fan is pushing around, resistance in the wire, and heat radiating/conducting away from the circuitry).

Suppose a large power plant generates electricity at 12.0 kV. Its old transformer once converted this voltage to 315 kV. The sec
SpyIntel [72]

Answer:

  • 2.32
  • 0.43

Explanation:

12.0 kv primary voltage

315 kv secondary voltage ( converted voltage ) V1 or Vo

v2 (Vn)= 730 kv new secondary voltage

a) Ratio of turns in 730 kv to turns in 315 kv

\frac{Vn}{Vo} = \frac{Nn}{No} = \frac{730}{315}  therefore the ratio of turns = 2.317 ≈ 2.32

B) ratio of the new current output to the old current output for the same power input to the transformer

since the power input is the same

\frac{In}{Io} = \frac{\frac{Vp}{Vn} }{\frac{Vp}{Vo} }     equation 1

Vp = primary voltage, Vo = old secondary voltage, Vn = new secondary voltage, In = new secondary current, Io = old secondary current

therefore equation 1 becomes

\frac{In}{Io}  = \frac{Vo}{Vn} =  315 / 730 = 0.43
