The amount of radiation produced by a nuclear weapon can vary depending on its size and yield. However, a single detonation of a nuclear weapon can produce tens of thousands to millions of rads within the immediate vicinity of ground zero. This level of radiation exposure can be lethal to humans and cause widespread health effects.

What are rads and grays?

Rads and grays are units used to measure radiation exposure. Rads are an older unit that measures the amount of energy absorbed from ionizing radiation by matter. Grays are the newer, more internationally accepted unit that measures the absorbed dose of radiation.


How long does a human have to live if they encounter just over a thousand rads of radiation?

Exposure to over a thousand rads of radiation would likely be fatal within a matter of hours to days due to acute radiation sickness, which can have severe effects on the body's cells and organs. Immediate medical intervention is crucial to try to mitigate the effects of such a high level of radiation exposure.


A patricle move with a constant angular speed of rads around a circule path of radius 1.5m find the acceleration of the particle?

The acceleration of the particle moving in a circular path is given by the formula a = rĪ‰^2, where r is the radius of the circle and Ī‰ is the angular speed. Plugging in the values, a = (1.5 m)(rads/s)^2 = 2.25 m/s^2.


Find the instantaneous angular acceleration t5.0 with the instantaneous velocity of 6.0 rads t?

To find the instantaneous angular acceleration, you need to know the time rate of change of the instantaneous angular velocity. Without this information, you cannot calculate the instantaneous angular acceleration at t=5.0s.


What is the angular speed in rads per sec of a motor that makes 300 rev per sec?

To convert revolutions per second to radians per second, you need to multiply by (2\pi) (since there are (2\pi) radians in one revolution). Therefore, if the motor makes 300 rev per second, the angular speed in radians per second would be (300 \times 2\pi = 600\pi) radians per second.

What does BI-RADS 0 mean on a mammogram?

BI-RADS is simply the word used in the categories of mammogram results. BI-RADS 0 means additional imaging is needed. BI-RADS 1 means no evidence of cancer. BI-RADS 5 means likely cancer. There are a range of results in between.

What are two companies that produce at least one cast iron model of radiator?

There are several companies who produce or sell cast iron models of radiators. For example, try the company 'Cast Rads' of the 'Radiator Center' for these radiators.


What does BI-RADS 2 mean in suspected intramammary lymph node?

BI-RADS is a system of categorizing results of mammograms. BI-RADS 2 means that the finding is benign -- not cancer. Such a result would be typical if a lymph node were found in the breast.


What is bi-rads 4 on a mammogram?

BI-RADS 4 on a mammogram means there is a suspicious abnormality, and a biopsy might be required. It does not necessarily mean cancer.


What is BI-RADS?

BI-RADS is a scale or system for categorizing mammogram results. Like the Richter scale measures earthquakes, and the Fahrenheit scale measures temperature, BI-RADS is a way of classifying mammogram results so that communication between health care providers is easier.


How safe is 50 rads of radiation per hour?

50 rads per hour is 200 times the maximum safe continuous exposure rate. It depends of course on how long you are exposed to 50 Rads per hour. If you are exposed to 50 Rads per hour for only 15 seconds you will be just fine, where as if you were exposed for 10 hours total during a two week period, you are dead.
