Which of these would be most likely to determine whether or not the deposit would be mined?
whether the cost of mining will be less than the value of the mineral
What experiment would you do to determine whether water moves in and out of cells?
The process of osmosis.
What instruments or technologies might have helped determine whether or not something is living or dead?
microscopes and computers
It Comes after a hypothesis and is used to determine whether the hypothesis is correct?
Test your hypothesis by Doing an Experiment
Is non ionizing radiation harmful to living things?
Scientists generally agree it is not harmful except if the intensity is enough to cause heating of the tissues. For example a microwave cooker produces enough heat to cause harm, which is why the door cannot be opened while it's switched on. However it is a controversial subject that includes use of cell phones and other radio frequency transmitters. Today the focus is not on whether it is harmful, but how much and at what levels it is harmful.
How does distance affect intensity of radiation?
The source doesn't care how far you are from it, or whether you're even there, andthere's no relationship between that and the intensity of the radiation it gives off.However, the intensity of the radiation that you receivefrom it is inversely proportionalto the square of your distance from it ... same math as for gravity.
What is the relationship between the intensity of the radiation given off from a radiation source and distance from the radiation source?
The source doesn't care how far you are from it, or whether you're even there, andthere's no relationship between that and the intensity of the radiation it gives off.However, the intensity of the radiation that you receivefrom it is inversely proportionalto the square of your distance from it ... same math as for gravity.
What two factors determine whether noise is hazardous to hearing?
Intensity and duration
Is synchrotron radiation emitted perpendicular to the circular path of the electrons?
Yes, synchrotron radiation is emitted perpendicular to the circular path of the electrons. This is because the radiation is generated when the electrons are deflected, or accelerated, due to the magnetic field in the synchrotron. The emitted radiation is tangential to the circular path, resulting in a perpendicular radiation pattern.
How goes the balance of protons and electrons determine whether asex is good?
yes it is good and idd apreciate if you would try it it fills so good
Does the intensity of Xrays and gamma rays differ?
Intensity is independent of frequency or wavelength. So whether it is Xray or gamma ray both can have the same intensity.
How could you use the electron arrangement of an atom to determine whether or not it is a metal?
Metals have 1, 2, or 3 outer energy level electrons. (except lead and zinc which have 4) nonmetals have 4 or more outer electrons in general.
When were microwaves radioactive?
Never, but it is considered a form of radiation in the loosest sense. It is not radioactive like Uranium or Plutonium, which give off radiation in the form of gamma rays or subatomic particles. X rays, radio waves, radar, microwaves, and visible light are all forms of electromagnetic "radiation". Whether these waves are harmful, and what uses they may be put to, if simple a function of their wavelength and intensity.
How do you determine whether a rock is a rhyolite or an andesite?
The composition of the rock will determine whether it is a rhyolite or an andesite.
Can you determine whether the atoms are the same element with out looking at the nuclei?
To a certain extent yes. In a balanced element the number of electrons match the number of protons in the core of the element. If electrons have been added or removed (as in an ion) then you would need to know the exact number added/removed, or rebalance the element, in order to determine the specific element.
Why is the smallest particle of iron an atom?
It is an atoms chemical properties that determine whether it is iron or manganese or aluminium. These properties are (to a first approximation) controlled by the number of electrons in the outermost shell.A single atom is the smallest unit that has the chemical properties.Anything smaller is electrons or protons, or neutrons ... .
What are 3 reasons radiation sickness varies?
Radiation sickness varies depending upon duration of exposure, whether it was an internal or external exposure, and the dosage of radiation.
