After one half-life, 8 g of radioactive isotope will remain in the sample.

<h3>What is radioactivity?</h3>

The act of producing radiation spontaneously is known as radioactivity. This is accomplished by an unstable atomic nucleus that want to give up some energy in order to move to a more stable form.

The following formula is used to compute the number of half lives elapsed:

$\rm N=\frac{N_0}{2^n} \\\\ N=\frac{16}{2} \\\\ N= 8 \ gram$

Hence,8 gram of radioactive isotope remains in the sample after 1 half-life.

If the volume is held constant, what happens to the pressure of a gas as temperature is decreased? Explain.

Lady bird [3.3K]

Answer:Decreases

Explanation:

Given

Volume is held constant that is it is a isochoric process.

We know that

PV=nRT

as n,V& R are constant therefore only variables are

P & T

so $\frac{P_1}{T_1}=\frac{P_2}{T_2}$

$\frac{P_1}{P_2}=\frac{T_1}{T_2}$

As $T_1$ is decreasing therefore Pressure must also decrease so that ratio remains constant.

What color do glacier appear if they are moving towards us?

kirill [66]

Answer:

Subcategories: Ice field

Explanation:

Glacier ice is blue because the red (long wavelengths) part of white light is absorbed by ice and the blue (short wavelengths) light is transmitted and scattered. The longer the path light travels in ice, the more blue it appears.

A pipe that is open at both ends has a fundamental frequency of 320 Hz when the speed of sound in air is 331 m/s.

fenix001 [56]

Question

What is the length of the pipe?

Answer:

(a) 0.52m

(b) f2=640 Hz and f3=960 Hz

Explanation:

For an open pipe, the velocity is given by

$v=\frac {2Lf}{n}$

Making L the subject then

$L=\frac {nV}{2f}$

Where f is the frequency, L is the length, n is harmonic number, v is velocity

Substituting 1 for n, 320 Hz for f and 331 m/s for v then

$L=\frac {1*331}{2*320}=0.5171875\approx 0.52m$

(b)

The next two harmonics is given by

f2=2fi

f3=3fi

f2=3*320=640 Hz

f3=3*320=960 Hz

Alternatively, $f2=2\times \frac {v}{2L}$ and $f3=3\times \frac {v}{2L}$

$f2=2\times \frac {331}{2*0.52}=636.5 Hz\\f3=3\times \frac {331}{2*0.52}=954.8 Hz$

(c)

When v=367 m/s then

$f1= \frac {v}{2L}\\f1= \frac {367}{2*0.52}=352.9 Hz$

A truck initially traveling at a speed of 22 meters per second increases speed at a constant rate of 2.4 meters per second^2 for

Usimov [2.4K]

Thank you for posting your question here. The total distance traveled by the truck during the 3.2 seconds interval is 83 m. Below is the solution:

d = vit + 1/2 at^2
d = (22m/ s) (3.2s) + 1/2 (2.4m/ s^2) (3.2s)^2
d = 83 m
Hope the answer helps.
