A 50 kg laboratory worker is exposed to 30 mJ of neutron radiation with an RBE of 10. Part A What is the dose in mSv

The dose is 6 mSV

Explanation:

The absorbed dose (in gray - Gy) is the amount of energy that ionizing radiation deposits per unit mass of tissue. That is,

Absorbed dose = Energy deposited / Mass

while Dose equivalent (DE) (in Seivert -Sv) is given by

DE = Absorbed dose × RBE (Relative biological effectiveness)

First, we will determine the Absorbed dose

From the question, Energy deposited = 30mJ and Mass = 50kg

From,

Absorbed dose = Energy deposited / Mass

Absorbed dose = 30mJ/50kg

Absorbed dose = 0.6 mGy

Now, for the Dose equivalent (DE)

DE = Absorbed dose × RBE

From the question, RBE = 10

Hence,

DE = 0.6mGy × 10

DE = 6 mSv

the box does not move because you need to use a force greater than 300 n. you are only using 50 n. it needs to at least be 301 n for the box to move because then it is an unbalanced force and it will move the way that the greater force is pushing it. if you use only 300 n it will be a balanced force and will not move because the force you are exerting on the   box is the same as its force.

hope this !

im sorry if i went too in depth, i am going to include a link to a video on khan academy that will explain this.   hope that you like the video and that it explains more in detail to you.

that is the link.
