The amount left of a radioactive sample amount N0 if the decay constant is 0.00125 seconds and the time is 180 seconds is 0.7999 N.

<h3>What is half-life?</h3>

The time it takes for half of the original population of radioactive atoms to decay is called the half-life. The relationship between the half-life T1/2 and the decay constant is given by T1/2 = 0.693/λ.

  1. N=N0e−λt
  2. given λ = 0.00125 seconds
  3. t = 180 seconds
  4. Now putting values.
  5. N=N0e−λt = 0.799
  6. N= 0.7999.

A plastic ball in a liquid is acted upon by its weight and by a buoyant force. The weight of the ball is 4 N. The buoyant force
Sauron [17]

Answer:

The acceleration is 2.448 meters per square second and is vertically upward.

Explanation:

The Free Body Diagram of the plastic ball in the liquid is presented in the image attached below. By Second Newton's Law, we know that forces acting on the plastic ball is:

\Sigma F = F - m\cdot g = m\cdot a (1)

Where:

F - Buoyant force, measured in newtons.

m - Mass of the plastic ball, measured in kilograms.

g - Gravitational acceleration, measured in meters per square second.

a - Net acceleration, measured in meters per square second.

If we know that F = 5\,N, m = 0.408\,kg and g = 9.807\,\frac{m}{s^{2}}, then the net acceleration of the plastic ball is:

a = \frac{F}{m} - g

a= 2.448\,\frac{m}{s^{2}}

The acceleration is 2.448 meters per square second and is vertically upward.

Build a second circuit with a battery and a light bulb but this time add a switch. Your circuit might look something like the on
kompoz [17]

Answer:

the resistance of the wire has no effect on the brightness of the bulb.

Explanation:

Let's apply ohm's law for your light bulb circuit plus wires plus switch

             V = I R_{bulb} + I R_ {wire}

the current in a series circuit is constant

             V = I (R_{bulb} + R_{wire})

To know the effect of the wires on the brightness of the bulb, we must look for the value of the typical resistance of these elements.

Incandescent bulb

Power 60 W

let's use the power ratio

            P = V I = V2 / R

            R = V2 / P

the voltage value for this power is V = 120 V

            R = 120 2/60

            R_bulb = 240 Ω

Resistance of a 14 gauge copper wire (most used), we look for it on the internet

            R = 8.45 Ω/ km

in a laboratory circuit approximately 2 m is used, so the resistance of our cable is

            R = 8.45 10⁻³ 2

            R_wire = 0.0169 Ω

let's buy the two resistors

            R_{bulb} = 240

            R_{wire} = 0.0169

            \frac{R_{bulb} }{R_{wire} } = \frac{240 }{ 0.0169}

              \frac{ R_{bulb} }{ R_{wire} } = 1.4 \ 10^4

therefore resistance of the bulb is much greater than that of the wire, therefore almost all the power is dissipated in the bulb.

In summary, the resistance of the wire has no effect on the brightness of the bulb.
