Materials that provide effective protection against beta particles include thin aluminum sheets, as well as low atomic mass materials like plastic, wood, water, and acrylic glass for high-energy beta-radiation. These materials can also be used in protective gear, encompassing all clothing designed to shield wearers from radiation-related harm.

The amount of kinetic energy an object has depends on its mass and its speed. Rank the following sets of oranges and cantaloupes
Sav [3071]

mass₃<mass₁=mass₅<mass₂=mass₄

Explanation:

Data points:-

1. mass:  m      speed: v

2. mass: 4 m   speed: v

3. mass: 2 m   speed: ¼ v

4. mass: 4 m   speed: v

5. mass: 4 m   speed: ½ v

We know that the formula for Kinetic energy (KE) is ½ mv²

Where m represents the mass of the object

           v represents the object's velocity

<psubstituting the="" given="" values="" for="" mass="" and="" speed="" from="" previous="" data:="">

The KE of Body 1(mass₁) = ½*m*v²             = mv²/2

KE of Body 2(mass₂) = ½*4m*v²         = 2mv²

KE of Body 3(mass₃) = ½*2m*(1/4v)²  =  mv²/16

KE of Body 4(mass₄) = ½*4m*v ²        =  2mv ²

KE of Body 5(mass₅) = ½*4m*(1/2v)²  =   mv²/2

A coffee company wants to make sure that their coffee is being served at the right temperature. if it is too hot, the customers
Maru [3280]

Response:

The population mean is parameter = 65 c

Explanation:

In the analysis of samples and inferring population behavior, two key elements are essential.

To ascertain the population mean, we typically extract various samples and calculate their average. The average of all these means will serve as an estimate for the population mean. According to the central limit theorem, as sample sizes increase, the average of a sample tends to follow a normal distribution with an estimated mean being the sample mean.

A statistic pertains to a sample, while a parameter refers to the whole population.

In this case, 65 degrees C represents the entire population; thus, it constitutes a parameter.

In pottery class, you throw a pot from a lump of wet clay. your pot's mass is 5.5 kg. after the pot is fired, it's mass is 4.9 k
ValentinkaMS [3384]

To find the volume, we can utilize the ratio of mass to density, as shown by:

volume = mass / density

 

A. when mass = 5.5 kg = 5500 g; density = 1.60 g/cm^3

volume = 5500 g / (1.60 g/cm^3)

resulting in volume = 3,437.5 cm^3

By rounding according to significant digits:

volume = 3,400 cm^3 = 3.4 L

 

B. when mass = 4.9 kg = 4900 g; density = 1.36 g/cm^3

volume = 4900 g / (1.36 g/cm^3)

calculating gives volume = 3,602.94 cm^3

Considering significant digits:

<span>volume = 3,600 cm^3 = 3.6 L</span>

The intensity level of a "Super-Silent" power lawn mower at a distance of 1.0 m is 100 dB. You wake up one morning to find that
Maru [3280]

Answer:

The correct option is 80 dB.

Explanation:

The transformation of sound intensity level into sound intensity utilizes the formula

[D] = 10 log (I/I₀)

Where I₀ = 10⁻¹² W/m²

[D] results in 100 dB

100 = 10 log (I/I₀)

Log (I/I₀) converts to 10

(I/I₀) = 10¹⁰

I is determined as I₀ × 10¹⁰ = 10⁻¹² × 10¹⁰ = 10⁻² W/m²

Sound intensity inversely relates to the square of the distance from the source.

I ∝ (1/d²)

I can be expressed as k/d²

When d = 1 m, the intensity is 10⁻² W/m²

Thus, 0.01 = k/1

Providing that k = 0.01 W

For d = 20 m, we can calculate I

I = 0.01/20² = 2.5 × 10⁻⁵ W/m²

With four neighbors mowing their lawns concurrently,

I = 4 × 2.5 × 10⁻⁵ = 10⁻⁴ W/m⁻²

The sound intensity level in decibels is represented as

[D] = 10 log (I/I₀)

[D] = 10 log (10⁻⁴/10⁻¹²)

[D] = 10 log (10⁸)

[D] = 10 × 8 = 80dB

A composite wall separates combustion gases at 2400°C from a liquid coolant at 100°C, with gas and liquid-side convection coeffi
Ostrovityanka [3096]

Response:

\text{heat loss} = 24864.05 \ W/m^2

Clarification:

If

  • T_1, T_2 represent the temperatures of gases and liquids in Kelvins,
  • t_1 and t_2 denote the thicknesses of the gas layer and steel slab in meters,
  • h_1, h_2 are the convection coefficients for gas and liquid in W/m^2 \cdot K,
  • R_c represents the contact resistance in m^2 \cdot K/W,
  • and k_1, k_2 signify thermal conductivities of gas and steel in W/m \cdot K,

then: part(a):

\text{heat loss } = \frac{T_1 - T_2} { \frac{1}{h_1} + \frac{t_1}{t_2} + R_c + \frac{t_2}{k_2} + \frac{1}{h_2}}

by employing known values:

\text {heat loss} = 2486.05 W/m^2

part(b): Utilizing the rate equation:

\text {heat loss} = h_1 (T_1 - T_{s1})

the surface temperature is T_{s1} = 1678.438 \ K

and T_{c1} = T_{s1} - \frac {t_1 (\text{heat loss})}{k_1} = 1664.560 \ K

Correspondingly

T_{c2} = T_{c1} - R_c (\text{heat loss}) = 421.357 \ K

T_{s2} = T_{c2} - \frac {t_2 (\text{heat loss})}{ k_2} = 397.864 \ K
