RAD150 Chapter 1
Question | Answer |
---|---|
Velocity= v | distance/time d/t |
Average Velocity= _ v | (initial + final velocity)/2 (Vo+Vf)/2 |
Acceleration= a | (final - initial velocity)/time (Vf-Vo)/t |
Force= F | mass x acceleration ma |
Weight= Wt | mass x acceleration of gravity mg |
Momentum= p | mass x velocity mv |
Work= W | force x distance Fd |
Power= P | work/time w/t |
Kinetic energy= KE | 1/2(mass)(velocity)^2 1/2mv^2 |
Potential energy= PE | mass x gravity x height above earth's surface mgh |
Temperature in celsius= Tc | 5/9(Tf-32) |
Temperature in farenheit= Tf | 9/5Tc+32 |
Temperature in Kelvin= Tk | Tc+273 |
kilo- (k) | 1000 |
mega- (M) | 1,000,000 |
giga- (G) | 1,000,000,000 |
centi- (c) | 1/100 |
milli- (m) | 1/1000 |
micro- (u) | 1/1,000,000 |

Becquerel (Bq) | unit of radioactivity |
Air kerma= | roentgen (R) x .01 |
Gray= | rad x .01 |
Sievert= | rem x .01 |
Becquerel= | curie (Ci) x 3.7x10^10 |
