During the 1950s, nuclear bombs were tested on islands in the South Pacific. In one test, personnel on a nearby island received 10 mGy per hour of beta and gamma radiation. Part A At this rate, how long would it take to receive a potentially lethal dose equivalent of 4.5 Sv? Express your answer using two significant figures.

We will use a video to study faraday’s law of electromagnetic induction by analyzing the induction that occurs due a coil of copper wire sliding along an air track that passes through an external magnetic field. specifically, we will: examine some of the main principles behind faraday’s law. apply lenz’s law to determine the direction of the induced emf. take measurements of the induced emf from the voltmeter as the coil passes into and out of the external magnetic field. use the horizontal scale provided to determine the speed of the coil. calculate the magnetic field induced in the coil as it passes into and out of the external magnetic field.

Which of these activities increases the amount of carbon in the atmosphere?

The average atmospheric pressure on earth is approximated as a function of altitude by the relation patm = 101.325 (1 − 0.02256z)5.256, where patm is the atmospheric pressure in kpa, and z is the altitude in km with z = 0 at sea level. determine the approximate atmospheric pressures at atlanta (z = 306 m), denver (z = 1610 m), mexico city (z = 2309 m), and the top of mount everest (z = 8848 m).
