Answer:

Radiation can be absorbed by substances in its path. For example, alpha radiation travels only a few centimetres in air, beta radiation travels tens of centimetres in air, and gamma radiation travels very large distances. ... The thicker the substance, the more the radiation is absorbed

A crate is dragged up a ramp at constant speed. The work done on the system can be accounted for by:

Alex

Answer:

The work done on the system can be accounted for by;

Both $E_g$ and $E_{int}$

Explanation:

The speed of the crate = Constant

Therefore, the acceleration of the crate = 0 m/s²

The net force applied to the crate, $F_{NET}$ = 0

Therefore, the force of with which the crate is pulled = The force resisting the upward motion of the crate

However, we have;

The force resisting the upward motion of the crate = The weight of the crate + The frictional resistance of the ramp due to the surface contact between the ramp and the crate

The work done on the system = The energy to balance the resisting force = The weight of the crate × The height the crate is raised + The heat generated as internal energy to the system

The weight of the crate × The height the crate is raised = Gravitational Potential Energy = $E_g$

The heat generated as internal energy to the system = $E_{int}$

Therefore;

The work done on the system = $E_g$ + $E_{int}$ .

Explanation:

(a) From E=

N⋅m

)

(8.90×10

N/C)(0.750m)

=5.57×10

−8

But Q is negative since

points inward, so

Q=−5.57×10

C=−55.7nC

(b) The negatve charge has a spherically symmetric charge distribution, concentric with the spherical shell

Gemiola [76]

Answer:

$\omega=7.16*10^{-13}\frac{rad}{s}$

Explanation:

The angular speed is given by:

$\omega=\frac{v}{r}$

Here v is the linear speed and r is the radius of the circular motion. The height of the tower is equal to the radius of the circular motion of the top of the tower, since is rotating about its base. We need to convert the given linear speed to $\frac{m}{s}$ :

$1.4\frac{mm}{y}*\frac{10^{-3}m}{1mm}*\frac{1y}{3.154*10^7s}=4.44*10^{-11}\frac{m}{s}$

Now, we calculate the angular speed:

$\omega=\frac{4.44*10^{-11}\frac{m}{s}}{62m}\\\omega=7.16*10^{-13}\frac{rad}{s}$
