Explanation:

some radioactive isotope are present as terrestrial radiation other radioactive isotope are produced by humans via nuclear reactions which is result in unstable combination of neutrons and proton one way of artificially inducing nuclear transmutation is by bombarding stable isotopes with alpha particles

Help me with the question in the image I provided

inna [77]

Answer: 10 s, 30 m/s , 150 m

Explanation:

Given

The speed of motorcyclist is $u_1=15\ m/s$

The initial speed of a police motorcycle is $u_2=0\ m/s$

acceleration of police motorcycle is $a=3\ m/s^2$

Police will catch the motorcyclist when they traveled equal distances

distance traveled by motorcyclist in time t is

$\Rightarrow s_1=15\times t$

Distance traveled by Police in time t is

$\Rightarrow s_2=u_2t+\frac{1}{2}at^2\\\Rightarrow s_2=0+0.5\times 3\times t^2$

put $s_1=s_2$

$\Rightarrow 15t=0.5\times 3\times t^2\\\\\Rightarrow t(1.5t-15)=0\\\\\Rightarrow t=\dfrac{15}{1.5}=10\ s$

Police officer's speed at that time is

$\Rightarrow v_2=u_2+at\\\Rightarrow v_2=0+3\times 10=30\ m/s$

Distance traveled by each vehicle is

$\Rightarrow s_1=s_2=15\times t=15\times 10=150\ m$

ListenA person on a ledge throws a ball vertically downward, striking the ground below the ledge with 200 joules of kinetic ener

polet [3.4K]

Answer:

A. 200 J

Explanation:

The initial kinetic energy depends on the initial speed, while the gravitational potential energy depends on the height, both balls are thrown with the same initial speed and from the same height. Therefore, due to the law of conservation of energy, the balls must have the same mechanical energy (the sum of both energies) when both impact the ground. Since the potential energy is zero at this point, its final kinetic energy must also be the same.

Ultraviolet radiation is dangerous because it has a high enough energy to damage skin cells. UV radiation is called ultraviolet

BabaBlast [244]

Answer: smaller

Ultraviolet radiation has broad range of wavelengths, higher number means greater risk of exposure to UV rays that can be dangerous to skin cells. Sunlight is the main source of electromagnetic radiation and it is transmitted in different wavelengths known as electromagnetic spectrum. This spectrum is divided into several regions in order of decreasing wavelength and increasing energy and frequency. UV radiation has frequency and energy that is higher than purple light or violet radiation and the wavelength of ultraviolet radiation is smaller than violet radiation.

6.6 kg block initially at rest is pulled to theright along a horizontal, frictionless surfaceby a constant, horizontal force of

neonofarm [45]

Answer:

v = 3.04 m/s

Explanation:

given,

mass of the block, M = 6.6 Kg

horizontal force, F = 12.2 N

distance, L = 2.5 m

initial speed = 0 m/s

speed of the block,v = ?

we now

Work done is equal to change in Kinetic energy.

Work done = Force x displacement

W = Δ K E

Δ K E = Force x displacement

$\dfrac{1}{2}mv^2 - \dfrac{1}{2}mu^2= F .s$

$\dfrac{1}{2}\times 6.6 \times v^2 - 0= 12.2\times 2.5$

3.3 v² = 30.5

v² = 9.242

v = 3.04 m/s

speed of the block is equal to 3.04 m/s
