How can we protect space shuttles or astronauts from space radiation in the absence of the atmospheric layer?

1 answer:

7 0

Earth's protective magnetic bubble, called the magnetosphere, deflects most solar particles, but in the absence of atmospheric layer, Polyethylene is a good shielding material because it has high hydrogen content, and hydrogen atoms are good at absorbing and dispersing radiation.

The Earth’s atmospheres are kept in place by gravity. The air near the ground is pulled on by gravity and compressed by the air higher in the sky. This causes the air near the ground to be denser and creating different layers with different qualities in which are the atmosphere.

Hope that helps ^^

Question 30

stellarik [79]

Answer: $0.69\°$

Explanation:

The angular diameter $\delta$ of a spherical object is given by the following formula:

$\delta=2 sin^{-1}(\frac{d}{2D})$

Where:

$d=16 m$ is the actual diameter

$D=1338 m$ is the distance to the spherical object

Hence:

$\delta=2 sin^{-1}(\frac{16 m}{2(1338 m)})$

$\delta=0.685\° \approx 0.69\°$ This is the angular diameter

A train traveling at 25 m/s is blowing its whistle at 440 Hz as it crosses a level crossing. You are waiting at the crossing and

ohaa [14]

Answer:

b) 472HZ, 408HZ

Explanation:

To find the frequencies perceived when the bus approaches and the train departs, you use the Doppler's effect formula for both cases:

$f_o=f\frac{v_s+v_o}{v_s-v}\\\\f_o=f'\frac{v_s-v_o}{v_s+v}\\\\$

fo: frequency of the source = 440Hz

vs: speed of sound = 343m/s

vo: speed of the observer = 0m/s (at rest)

v: sped of the train

f: frequency perceived when the train leaves us.

f': frequency when the train is getTing closer.

Thus, by doing f and f' the subjects of the formulas and replacing the values of v, vo, vs and fo you obtain:

$f=f_o\frac{v_s-v}{v_s+v_o}=(440Hz)\frac{340m/s-25m/s}{340m/s}=408Hz\\\\f'=f_o\frac{v_s+v}{v_s-v_o}=(440Hz)\frac{340m/s+25m/s}{340m/s}=472Hz$

hence, the frequencies for before and after tha train has past are

b) 472HZ, 408HZ

he membrane that surrounds a certain type of living cell has a surface area of 6.0 x 10-9 m2 and a thickness of 1.6 x 10-8 m. As

k0ka [10]

Answer:

$1.54481175\times 10^{-12}\ C$

Explanation:

$\epsilon_0$ = Permittivity of free space = $8.85\times 10^{-12}\ F/m$

A = Area = $6\times 10^{-9}\ m^2$

d = Thickness = $1.6\times 10^{-8}\ m$

k = Dielectric constant = 5.4

V = Voltage = 86.2 mV

Charge is given by

$Q=CV\\\Rightarrow Q=k\epsilon\dfrac{A}{d}V\\\Rightarrow Q=5.4\times 8.85\times 10^{-12}\times \dfrac{6\times 10^{-9}}{1.6\times 10^{-8}}\times 86.2\times 10^{-3}\\\Rightarrow Q=1.54481175\times 10^{-12}\ C$

The charge on the outer surface is $1.54481175\times 10^{-12}\ C$
