Answer the following question given this paragraph: One reason radiation is dangerous is that it can't be detected with the senses. You normally can't see it, smell it, hear it, or feel it. Fortunately, there are devices such as Geiger counters that can detect radiation. A Geiger counter, like the one in Figure below , has a tube that contains atoms of a gas. If radiation enters the tube, it turns gas atoms to ions that carry electric current. The current causes the Geiger counter to click. The faster the clicks occur, the higher the level of radiation. You can see a video about the Geiger counter and how it was invented at the URL below. Q: Geiger counters can be used to detect what, in general? Choices: - seismic load - convection - evaporation - radiation A:
radiation

Q: Answer the following question given this paragraph: In the single fixed pulley, only one rope segment pulls up on the load, so the ideal mechanical advantage is 1. In other words, this type of pulley doesn't increase the force that is applied to it. However, it does change the direction of the force. This allows you to use your weight to pull on one end of the rope and more easily raise the load attached to the other end. Q: What is the ideal mechanical advantage in the single fixed pulley? Choices: - zero - 2 - 4 - 1 A:
A: 1
