What is the source of the radioactivity?

Nataly_w [17]

The Earth itself is a source of terrestrial radiation. Radioactive materials including uranium, thorium, and radium exist naturally in soil and rock. Essentially all air contains radon<span> , which is responsible for most of the dose that Americans receive each year from natural background sources.</span>

Water falls without splashing at a rate of 0.200 L/s from a height of 3.60 m into a 0.730 kg bucket on a scale. If the bucket is

dimaraw [331]

Answer:

15.106 N

Explanation:

From the given information,

The weight of the bucket can be calculated as:

$W_b = m_bg = \\ \\ W_b = (0.730 \ kg) ( 9.80 \ m/s^2) \\ \\ W_b = 7.154 \ N$

The mass of the water accumulated in the bucket after 3.20s is:

$m_w= (0.20 \ L/s) ( 3.20)s$

$m _w=0.64 \ kg$

To determine the weight of the water accumulated in the bucket, we have:

$W_w = m_w g$

$W_w = ( 0.64 \ kg )(9.80\ m \ /s^2)$

$W_w = 6.272 \ N$

For the speed of the water before hitting the bucket; we have:

$v = \sqrt{2gh}$

$v = \sqrt{2*9.80 \ m/s^2 * 3.60 \ m}$

v = 8.4 m/s

Now, the force required to stop the water later when it already hit the bucket is:

$F = v ( \dfrac {dm}{dt} )$

$F = (8.4 \ m/s)( 0.200 \ L/s)$

F = 1.68 N

Finally, the reading scale is:

$F_{scale$ = 7.154 N + 6.272 N + 1.68 N

= 15.106 N

Two concrete spans of a 380 m long bridge are

Mazyrski [523]

Answer:

4.163 m

Explanation:

Since the length of the bridge is

L = 380 m

And the bridge consists of 2 spans, the initial length of each span is

$L_i = \frac{L}{2}=\frac{380}{2}=190 m$

Due to the increase in temperature, the length of each span increases according to:

$L_f = L_i(1+ \alpha \Delta T)$

where

$L_i = 190 m$ is the initial length of one span

$\alpha =1.2\cdot 10^{-5} ^{\circ}C^{-1}$ is the temperature coefficient of thermal expansion

$\Delta T=20^{\circ}C$ is the increase in temperature

Substituting,

$L_f=(190)(1+(1.2\cdot 10^{-5})(20))=190.0456 m$

By using Pythagorean's theorem, we can find by how much the height of each span rises due to this thermal expansion (in fact, the new length corresponds to the hypothenuse of a right triangle, in which the base is the original length of the spand, and the rise in heigth is the other side); so we find:

$h=\sqrt{L_f^2-L_i^2}=\sqrt{(190.0456)^2-(190)^2}=4.163 m$

A parachutist of mass 100 kg falls from a height of 500 m. Under realistic conditions, she experiences air resistance. Based on

antoniya [11.8K]

Given:
mass: 100 kg
height: 500 m
1 kJ = 1000 J
gravity = 9.8 m/s²

velocity before impact: v = √2gh ; v = √2 * 9.8 m/s² * 500 m ; v = 98.99494 m/s

KE = 1/2 m v²
KE = 1/2 * 100 kg * (98.99494 m/s)²
KE = 490,000 J

A 25kg box fell 200m with an acceleration of 5 m/s2. with what force did it hit the floor when it landed?

Marizza181 [45]

According to Newton's Second Law of motion, the net force acting on the object is equal to its mass multiplied by its acceleration. In formula, it is written as

Net Force =mass * acceleration
Net force = 25 kg * 5m/s^2
Net force = 125 Newtons
