25. A radiograph made with an exposure of 12 mA per minute has a density of 0.8 in the area of interest. It is desired to increase the density to 2.0 in this area. By reference to a characteristic curve of the film, it is found that the difference in log e between a density of 0.8 and 2.0 is 0.76. The antilogarithm of log 0.76 is 5.8 (relative exposure factor). What must the new exposure time be to produce a radiograph with a density of 2.0, assuming the first exposure time was 1 minute?

The electric potential difference AV, also called voltage, is expressed in terms of the electric field as follows AV = - Edr a where, a is the initial position and b is the final position. If an electric field in a region in space is defined as E= - Br2 where B is just a constant without an arbitrary value.

The energy yield of a nuclear weapon is often defined in terms of the equivalent mass of a conventional explosive. 1 ton of a conventional explosive releases 4.2 GJ. A typical nuclear warhead releases 250,000 times more, so the yield is expressed as 250 kilotons. That is a staggering explosion, but the asteroid impact that wiped out the dinosaurs was significantly greater. Assume that the asteroid was a sphere 10 km in diameter, with a density of 2500 kg/m3 and moving at 30 km/s. What energy was released at impact, in joules and in kilotons?
