14.americium- 241 is widely used in smoke detectors. the radiation released by this element ionizes particles that are then dete

cted by a charged particle collector. the half-life of am-241 is 432.2 years, and it decays by emitting alpha particles. how many alpha particles are emitted each second by a 5.00 g sample of am-241

Hence, 5.1 * 10^-11 alpha particles is being emitted each second by the sample.

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

The term half life is the time taken for only half of the original  amount of radioactive nuclides to remain.

Thus, we have that the half life is 432.2 years or 1.36 * 10^10 s.

k = 0.693/ 1.36 * 10^10 s

k = 5.1 * 10^-11 alpha particles per second.

2. ATO kg bouting ball would require what force to accelerate down an alleyway at a rate of ons?
Mars2501 [29]

Answer:

  • 2. 30N
  • 3. 5,000N
  • 4. 15 kg
  • 5. 2,800 kg

Explanation:

<em>2. A 10 kg bowling  ball would require what force to accelerate down an alleyway at a rate of 3m/s² ?</em>

Notice that I completed the question with the garbled and missing values:

<u>Data:</u>

  • F = ?
  • m = 10 kg
  • a = 3m/s²

<u />

<u>Physical principles:</u>

  • Newton's second law: F=m\times a

<u>Solution:</u>

  • Substitute and compute

        F=10kg\times 3m/s^2=30N

<em></em>

<em>3. Salty has a car that accelerates at 5 m/s². If the car has a mass of 1000 kg, how much force does the car produce?</em>

Notice that I arranged the typos.

<u />

<u>Data:</u>

  • F = ?
  • m = ?
  • a = ?

<u>Physical principles:</u>

  • Newton's second law: F=m\times a

<u>Solution:</u>

  • Substitute and compute

       F=1,000kg\times5m/s^2=5,000N

<em>4. What is the mass of a falling rock if it produces a force of 147 N?</em>

<u>Data:</u>

  • F = 147N
  • m = ?
  • a = falling rock

<u>Physical principles:</u>

  • neglecting air resistance ⇒ a = g: gravitational acceleration: 9.8m/s²
  • Newton's second law: F=m\times a

<u>Solution:</u>

  • Clear m from Newton's second law

         m=\dfrac{F}{a}

  • Substitute with F = 147 N and a = g = 9.8m/s², and compute

      m=\dfrac{147N}{9.8m/s^2}=15Kg

<em></em>

<em>5. What is the mass of a truck if it produces a force of 14,000 N while accelerating at a rate of 5 m/s²?</em>

<u>Data:</u>

  • F= 14,000N
  • m = ?
  • a =​ 5m/s²

<u>Physical principles:</u>

  • Second Newton's law: F=m\times a

<u>Solution:</u>

  • Clear m from Newton's second law

         m=\dfrac{F}{a}

  • Substitute with F = 14,000 N and a = 5m/s², and compute

      m=\dfrac{14,000N}{5m/s^2}=2,800kg

How much heat is required to convert 2.55g of water at 28.0 degree celsius to steam 100 degree celsius
Crazy boy [7]
767.448 Joules of heat is required.
You use the equation Q=MCdeltaT
Make sure you convery celsius to Kelvin
Specific heat of water is 4.18
So it will be Q=2.55(4.18)(72)
Q=767.448
