Gamma radiation could be used to sterilize plastic petri plates in a plastic wrapper.
Answer: Option E
<u>Explanation:
</u>
It is known that radioactive radiations have greater ionizing powers compared to other electromagnetic radiations. Among the radioactive radiations, gamma rays are the most ionizing radiation.
So they are widely used in sterilizing process. As the penetration power of gamma is more compared to alpha and beta, in order to kill microorganisms gamma radiations are used.
When plastic petri plates wrapped with plastic are bombarded or sterilizing with gamma rays, the rays will ionise the micro-organism. Thus mutilating their DNA and preventing their reproduction.
Answer:
640 N
Explanation:
Given :
Mass of horse, m = 40kg
initial speed of horse, u = 8 m/s
final speed of horse, v = 0 m/s (because horse comes to a sudden stop)
time taken to stop, t = 0.5 s
recall that acceleration = change in speed / time taken for the change
or
a = (v - u) / t (substituting the above values)
a = (0 - 8) / 0.5
a = -16 m/s² (i.e it is a deceleration of 16 m/s²)
since we are not concerned about the direction of the force, we can simply use the absolute value of acceleration which is a = 16 m/s²
also recall that
Force = mass x acceleration
F = ma (substituting the values above)
F = 40kg x 16 m/s
F = 640 N
