A River Runs Through It. Team Members:. Carrie Hawkins Kendal Hathaway Mandie Manning Tyler Merrill. Project Overview. Why we did project What is involved equipment equations programming. Radiation. Harmful to environment - PowerPoint PPT PresentationTRANSCRIPT
Cosmic Radiation (MEASURED IN MREM/YEAR)
• Cosmic radiation is high-energy gamma radiation that originates in outer space and filters through our atmosphere.
• Sea Level -- 26(Increases about 1/2 mrem for each additional
• 100 feet in elevation)• Atlanta, Georgia -- 31 (1,050
feet)• Denver, Colorado -- 50 • (5,300 feet)• Minneapolis, Minnesota -- 30 • (815 feet)• Salt Lake City, Utah -- 46 • (4,400 feet)
Terrestrial Sources (MEASURED IN MREM/YEAR)
• United States (avg.) -- 26 • Denver, Colorado -- 63 • Nile Delta, Egypt -- 350 • Paris, France -- 350 • Coast of Kerala, India --
400 • McAipe, Brazil -- 2,558 • Pacos De Caldas, Brazil -
7,000
• Terrestrial sources are naturally radioactive elements in the soil and water such as uranium, radium,and thorium. Average levels of these elements are 1 pCi/gram of soil.
GPS UNIT• What is it?
(Geographical Positioning System)
• How does it work?
• How is it involved in our project?
C++ Program• cout<<"Input point you want to know(x1): ";• cin>>x1;• cout<<"Input point you want to know(x2): ";• cin>>x2;• cout<<"Input point you want to know(x1): ";• cin>>x1;• cout<<"Input point you want to know(x2): ";• cin>>x2;
C++ Program (cont.)

if ((x1>=a1)&&(x2>=a2)&&(x1<=b1)&&(x2<=b2)) { w=a3-b3;//difference radiation content y=b1-a1;//run larger z=b2-a2;//rise larger m=sqrt((y*y)+(z*z));//slope larger y1=x1-a1;//run smaller z1=x2=a2;//rise smaller m1=sqrt((y1*y1)+(z1*z1));//slope smaller result=((w*m1)-(a3*m))/-m; cout<<"The result is: "<<result<<endl;}
