Jack underwent radiation therapy using a beam of neutrons to treat a skin cancer on his hand. he received a dose equivalent of 1.6 sv that was absorbed in 22 g of tissue. the relative biological effectiveness (rbe) of these neutrons is 8.0.
part a : what absorbed dose of radiation did jack receive? express your answer in grays to two significant figures.
part b: what was the total energy of the absorbed radiation? express your answer in joules to two significant figures.
part c : suppose jill, also being treated for skin cancer, received the same absorbed dose, but from an electron beam (beta particles) with an rbe of 1.5. what dose equivalent did she receive? express your answer in sieverts to two significant figures.

A50 kg student climbs 3 m to the top of a set of stairs. calculate the change in the student’s gravitational potential energy from the bottom to the top of the stairs. show your calculations and include units in your answer. how much total work does the student do while climbing the stairs? show your calculations or explain your reasoning. include units in your answer. it takes the student 30 s to climb to the top of the stairs. what is the average power generated by the student climbing the stairs? show your calculations and include units in your answer. the next day the student carries a 10 kg backpack up the same stairs and again takes 30 s to reach the top of the stairs. is the average power you calculated in part (c) greater than, less than, or equal to the average power the student generated the next day? explain your answer.
