Gertrude writes a short story in which the main character must enter a nuclear-powered spaceship’s engine room that has lost its shielding in order to prevent the engine from flooding the rest of the ship with radiation. The main character is not wearing protective gear.

What effects are best for Gertrude to consider when planning what may happen to the character?

non-stochastic effects such as possible DNA mutations later in life resulting from the short-term, high-level exposure
non-stochastic effects such as severe burns and radiation sickness resulting from the short-term, high-level exposure
stochastic effects such as possible DNA mutations that are unlikely to occur from the single, low-level exposure
stochastic effects such as severe burns and radiation sickness resulting from the long-term, low-level exposure

Answer:

0.77 m/s^2

Explanation:

Notice that the weight of the 7 kg mass is calculated via:

weight = m * g = 7 * 9.8 N = 68.6 N

Since the tension in the string is larger (74 N), then the elevator is moving upward and the net force on the object is equal to:

74 N - 68.6 N =  5.4 N

Which tells us that the acceleration of the object is:

F = m * a

5.4 N = 7 kg * a

a = 5.4 /7  m/s^2

a = 0.77 m/s^2

and this must be the same as the acceleration of the elevator since object and elevator are moving together.

Answer: The amount of time it takes for half of the material to decay

B. The time needed for half of a sample of radioisotope to decay is the half-life of a radioisotope.

Radioactive decay is the process by which an unstable atomic nucleus loses energy by radiation. A material containing unstable nuclei is considered radioactive.

The most common types of decay are alpha decay, beta decay, and gamma decay, all of which involve emitting one or more particles.

The radioactive half-life means, the time required for half the atoms of a particular radioisotope to decay into another isotope.

The half-life of a radioactive isotope is the amount of time it takes for one-half of the radioactive isotope to decay.

The half-life of a specific radioactive isotope is constant; it is unaffected by conditions and is independent of the initial amount of that isotope.
Therefore,

The half-life of a radioisotope is the time needed for half of a sample of radioisotope to decay.

The correct option is B

⟹ T=

=

1

s

velocity of the lift (u₁) = 10 m/s

initial velocity of the coin (u₂) = 10 m/s  

(the coin is also moving with the Elevator)

acceleration of the coin (a₂) = -9.8 m/s²

acceleration of the Elevator (a₁) = 0 m/s

Distance covered by the coin (s)  = -2.5 m

__________________________________________________________

Relative velocity:

We will find the velocity and acceleration of the coin with respect to the lift since we are monitoring the motion of the coin

velocity of the coin with respect to the elevator (u₂₁) = u₂ - u₁

u₂₁ = 10 - 10

u₂₁ = 0m/s

Relative Acceleration:

acceleration of the coin with respect to the elevator (a₂₁) = a₂ - a₁

a₂₁ = -9.8 - 0

a₂₁ = -9.8

__________________________________________________________

From the second equation of motion, we know that:

s=  ut + 1/2at₂

we can rewrite this equation in terms of relative motion:

s = u₂₁(t) + 1/2(a₁₂)t²  

Notice that the time and the displacement are not relative, that's because displacement and time will remain the same no matter the frame of reference

replacing the known values in the equation:

-2.5 = (0)(t) + 1/2 (-9.8)(t²)

-2.5 = -4.9(t²)

dividing both sides by -4.9

t² = -2.5 / -4.9

t² = 25/49

t² = (5)² / (7)²

taking the square root of both the sides

t = 5/7   OR   0.71 seconds (approx)

Therefore, the coin will reach the floor of the Elevator in 0.71 seconds

Bandura's social learning theory, imitation, and observation are the two main ways that people pick up new skills. Bandura's theory encompasses more than just the notion that interaction with the environment leads directly to learning.

According to Bandura, hostility can also be learned indirectly through observational learning. According to the social learning theory, children learn through imitation.

An individual will internalize and replicate the aggressive behaviors of a role model in the future.

According to Bandura social learning theories, children pick up aggressive behaviors via watching others act aggressively and seeing how these actions are reinforced over time.

Therefore,  it is false  being punished were far more likely to be aggressive than children who did not.

Answer:

v = 7.69 x 10³ m/s = 7690 m/s

T = 5500 s = 91.67 min = 1.53 h

Explanation:

In order for the satellite to orbit the earth, the force of gravitation on satellite must be equal to the centripetal force acting on it:

[tex]F_{gravitation}= F_{centripetal}\\\\\frac{GM_{s} M_{E}}{r^2} = \frac{M_{s} v^2}{r}\\\\\frac{GM_{E}}{r} = v^2\\\\v = \sqrt{\frac{GM_{E}}{r} } \\\\[/tex]

where,

G = Universal Gravitational Constant = 6.67 x 10⁻¹¹ N.m²/kg²

Me = Mass of Earth = 5.97 x 10²⁴ kg

r = distance between the center of Earth and Satellite = Radius of Earth + Altitude = 6.371 x 10⁶ m + 0.361 x 10⁶ m = 6.732 x 10⁶ m

v = orbital speed = ?

Therefore,

[tex]v = \sqrt{\frac{(6.67 x 10^{-11}N.m^2/kg^2)(5.97 x 10^{24} kg)}{6.732 x 10^6 m} }\\\\[/tex]

v = 7.69 x 10³ m/s

For time period satellite completes one revolution around the earth. It means that the distance covered by satellite is equal to circumference of circle at the given altitude.

So, its orbital speed can be given as:

[tex]v = \frac{Circumference of Circle at Given Altitude}{T}\\\\v = \frac{2\pi r}{T}\\\\[/tex]

where,

T = Time Period of Satellite = ?

Therefore,

[tex]T = \frac{2\pi r}{v}\\\\T = \frac{(2\pi )(6.732 x 10^6 m}{7.69 x 10^3 m/s}\\\\[/tex]

T = 5500 s = 91.67 min = 1.53 h

Answer: it’s the diagram with a small tree on one side and a larger tree on the other side.

The ray diagram that shows the proper positioning of the image is: the first diagram, where the image is smaller than the object.

A concave mirror also known as converging mirror is a type of curved or spherical mirror in which the outside surface is silvered and the inner surface is made to reflect.

The size and the nature of the image of this kind of mirror is relatively dependent on the position of the object with regards the mirror.

Analysis:

When the object is behind the centre of curvature, the  image is seen to be real, inverted and smaller than the object.

So, the image of the concave mirror increases in size as the object gets closer to the centre of curvature and would be same size as the object at the centre of curvature.

In conclusion, the ray diagram that shows the proper positioning of the image is the first diagram.

Answer:

a. 0.32 b. 1448 m/s

Explanation:

We know v ∝ √T where v = velocity of sound and T = absolute temperature.

Let v₁ = velocity of sound at 17°, v₁ = fλ where f = frequency of sound = 512 Hz and λ = 66.5 cm = 0.665 m

So, v₁ = fλ = 512 Hz × 0.665 m = 340.48 m/s

T₁ = 17 + 273 = 290 K

Let v₂ = velocity of sound in air at NTP = unknown and T₂ = temperature at NTP = 0°C + 273 = 273 K

Now v₁/v₂ = √T₁/√T₂

So, v₂ = (√T₂/√T₁)v₁

= [√(T₂/T₁)]v₁

substituting the values of the variables, we have

v₂ =  [√(273 K/290 K)]340.48 m/s

v₂ =  [√0.9413]340.48 m/s

v₂ = (0.9702)340.48 m/s

v₂ = 330.35 m/s

Also v = √(γP/ρ) where v = velocity of sound in air at NTP  = 330.35 m/s, γ = ratio of molar heat capacities, P = pressure at NTP = 1.013 × 10⁵ Pa and ρ = density of air = 1.293 kg/m³

Since,  v = √(γP/ρ)

making γ subject of the formula, we have

γ = v²ρ/P

substituting the values of the variables, we have

γ = (330.35 m/s)² × 1.293 kg/m³/1.013 × 10⁵ Pa

= 31975.36 kg/m²s² ÷ 1.013 × 10⁵ Pa

= 0.32

b. Speed of sound in mercury v₃ = √(B/ρ) where B = Bulk modulus of mercury = 28.5 × 10⁹ Pa and ρ = density of mercury = 13600 kg/m³

v₃ = √(B/ρ)

= √(28.5 × 10⁹ Pa/13600 kg/m³)

= √(28.5 × 10⁹ Pa/13.6 × 10³ kg/m³)

= √(2.096 × 10⁶) m/s

= 1.448 × 10³ m/s

= 1448 m/s

Answer:

a) Pabs = 345.7 [kPa]

b) F = 278.08 [N]

Explanation:

Manometric pressure in liquids is defined as the product of density by gravitational acceleration by the height of the liquid.

[tex]P_{g} =Ro*g*h[/tex]

where:

Pg = manometric pressure [Pa]

Ro = density = 0.890*10³[kg/m³]

g = gravity acceleration = 9.81 [m/s²]

h = liquid height = 28 [m]

Now the absolute pressure is defined as the sum of the atmospheric pressure plus the manometric pressure

a)

[tex]P_{abs}=P_{man}+P_{gau}\\P_{abs}= 101300 + (890*9.81*28)\\P_{abs} = 345765.2 [Pa] = 345.7 [kPa][/tex]

b) To determine the force at that point

The pressure is now defined as the relationship of a force over the area.

But the area of a circle can be calculated as follows:

[tex]A=\frac{\pi }{4} *(0.032)^{2}\\A = 0.0008042[m^{2}] \\F = 345765.2*0.0008042\\F = 278.08 [N][/tex]

Answer:

Answer:

225nm

Explanation:

The Maxima of diffraction girating

dsin( θ)= m(λ)

Where θ)= angle between central axis and corresponding point

The wavelength is to corresponding sin( θ)

Then the maximum number of (λ) can be seen by setting sin( θ)= 1 then

d= m(λ)

At fifth order maximum m=1 then

d= 5(λ)

Where d= distance between the slit and with girating of 1/890rullig/mm

d= 1/890rullig/mm= 8.90×10^-6m

At maximum wavelength

d= 5(λ)

(λ)=5/d

= 8.90×10^-6m/5

=2.75*10^-7

= 275nm

Therefore, longest wavelength that forms an intensity maximum in the fifth order is 275nm
