Answer:
a) 0.0288 grams
b) 
Explanation:
Given that:
A typical human body contains about 3.0 grams of Potassium per kilogram of body mass
The abundance for the three isotopes are:
Potassium-39, Potassium-40, and Potassium-41 with abundances are 93.26%, 0.012% and 6.728% respectively.
a)
Thus; a person with a mass of 80 kg will posses = 80 × 3 = 240 grams of potassium.
However, the amount of potassium that is present in such person is :
0.012% × 240 grams
= 0.012/100 × 240 grams
= 0.0288 grams
b)
the effective dose (in Sieverts) per year due to Potassium-40 in an 80- kg body is calculate as follows:
First the Dose in (Gy) = 
= 
= 
Effective dose (Sv) = RBE × Dose in Gy
Effective dose (Sv) = 
Effective dose (Sv) =
Answer:
The correct answers are
(a) It decreases to 1/3 L
(ii) is (c) It is constant
Explanation:
to solve this, we list out the number of knowns and unknowns so as to determine the correct equation to solve the problem
The given variables are as follows
Initial volume V1 = 1L
V2 = Unknown
Initial Temperature T1 = 300K
let us assume that the balloon is perfectly elastic
At 300K the balloon is filled and it stretches to maintain 1 atmosphere
at 100K the content of the balloon cools reducing the excitement of the gas content which also reduces the pressure, however, the balloon being perfectly elastic, contracts to maintain the 1 atmospheric pressure, hence the answer to (ii) is (c) It is constant,
For (i) since we know that the pressure of the balloon is constant
by Charles Law V1/T1 =V2/T2
or V2 = (V1/T1)×T2 =
× 
= 
× L = L/3 hence the correct answer to (i) is 1/3L
The movement of tectonic plates can cause earthquakes. Some can be major and some can be minor. Both can affect non-earthquake proof buildings though
<span>Sea breeze can happen during hot summer days because of the
uneven heating rates of water and land.
The land surface heats up faster than the surface of the water during the
day. At this rate, the air above the
land grows warmer than the air atop the ocean. Warmer air is always lighter
than cooler air. As a consequence, warm air is pushed upward causing it to
rise. With this, warmer air rises over the land. As warm air rises over the
land, cooler air over the ocean flows over the land surface to change or
replace the rising warm air.</span>
