Answer:

Today, to benefit humankind, radiation is used in medicine, academics, and industry, as well as for generating electricity. In addition, radiation has useful applications in such areas as agriculture, archaeology (carbon dating), space exploration, law enforcement, geology (including mining), and many others.

A skater rotates with her arms crossed at an angular speed of 8.0 rad/s and she has a moment of inertia of 100 kg/m2. She extend

solong [7]

Answer:

When her hands extends, her momen of inertia is $4.28\ kg-m^2$ .

Explanation:

Given that,

Initial angular speed, $\omega_i=8\ rad/s$

Initial moment of inertia, $I_1=100\ kg-m^2$

Final angular speed, $\omega_f=7\ rad/s$

Initially, a skater rotates with her arms crossed and finally she extends her arms. The momentum remains conserved. Using the conservation of momentum as :

$I_1\omega_1=I_2\omega_2$

$I_2$ is final moment of inertia

$I_2=\dfrac{I_1\omega_1}{\omega_2}\\\\I_2=\dfrac{100\times 8}{7}\\\\I_2=114.28\ kg-m^2$

So, when her hands extends, her momen of inertia is $4.28\ kg-m^2$ . Hence, this is the required solution.

In one of the classic nuclear physics experiments at the beginning of the 20th century, an alpha particle was accelerated toward

Vladimir79 [104]

Answer:

The answer is " $1.01 \times 10^{-13}$ "

Explanation:

Using the law of conservation for energy. Equating the kinetic energy to the potential energy.

$KE=U=\frac{kqq'}{r}\\\\$

Calculating the closest distance:

$\to r=\frac{kqq'}{KE}\\\\$

$=\frac{k(2e)(79e)}{KE}\\\\=\frac{k(2)(79)e^2}{KE}\\\\=\frac{9.0\times 10^9 \ N \cdot \frac{m^2}{c}(2)(79)(1.6 \times10^{-19} \ C)^2}{(2.25\ meV) (\frac{1.6 \times 10^{-13} \ J}{1 \ MeV})}\\\\$

$=\frac{9.0\times 10^9 \times 2\times 79\times 1.6 \times10^{-19}\times 1.6 \times10^{-19} }{(2.25 \times 1.6 \times 10^{-13}) }\\\\=\frac{3,640.32\times 10^{-29}}{3.6 \times 10^{-13} }\\\\=\frac{3,640.32}{3.6} \times 10^{-16}\\\\=1011.2 \times 10^{-16}\\\\=1.01 \times 10^{-13}$

A bus moving along a level road increases its speed from 20 m/s to 35 m/s in 15.0s. What is the car's acceleration?

Ksju [112]

Explanation:

initial velocity U = 20m/s

Final velocity V = 35m/s

time = 15.0 secs

change in velocity = 35 - 15

= 20m/s

acceleration a = change in velocity/time V/t

a = (35-20)/15

a= 15/15

Hence, your acceleration is 1m/s^2
