What is the half-life of an isotope if 125 g of a 500 g sample of the isotope remains after 3.0 years?

Physics
1 answer:
Troyanec [42]2 years ago
3 0

Answer:

125 / 500 = 1/4    of the sample left after 3.0 yrs

1/2 * 1/2 = 1/4        sample has decayed thru 2 half-lives

2 * HL = 3

1 Half-Life = 1.5 yrs

Tidal Forces near a Black Hole. An astronaut inside a spacecraft, which protects her from harmful radiation, is orbiting a black
arlik [135]

Answer:

833.4801043*10^6N on ear that is closer to Black hole.

13.83803929*10^6N On ear that is farther from Black hole.

Explanation:

This problem can be solved as two masses that are at two different location from a bigger mass whose gravity affects both.

tension is an equal and opposite force that is exerted in response to applied force.

so on ear that is closer to black hole would have tension that is equal in magnitude and opposite in direction to gravitational force that ear experience due to the black hole at that location.

this true for ear that is further away from black hole as well.

(1) Force on ear that is closer to black hole.

                                                 F =\frac{m_{1}*m_{2}  }{r^2} G

                    m_{1}= 5*1.989*10^30kg is mass of Black hole.

                     m_{2}= 0.030kg is mass of ear that is close to black hole.

                    G = 6.679*10^-11m^3*kg^-1*s^-2

                     r = 120km-\frac{6}{100000} km=119.99994km=119999.94m

Note, we have subtracted because ear is closer to black hole.

plugging all this in formula gives.

                                      F = 833.4801043*10^6N

       That is tension of ear.

(2) Force on ear that is further from black hole.

                              F =\frac{m_{1}*m_{2}  }{r^2} G

                    m_{1}= 5*1.989*10^30kg is mass of Black hole.

                     m_{2}= 0.030kg is mass of ear that is close to black hole.

                    G = 6.679*10^-11m^3*kg^-1*s^-2

         this time r is further away from black hole so it would be.

                       r = 120km+\frac{6}{100000} km = 120000.06m

Plugging this all in we get

                          F = 13.83803929N

and that is tension on ear that is further from black hole.

Notice the tension difference, and order of magnitude of tension,it is enormous .

this astronaut is lethally close to black hole.

The intensity of light from a star (its brightness) is the power it outputs divided by the surface area over which it’s spread:
kow [346]

Answer:

\frac{d_{1}}{d_{2}}=0.36

Explanation:

1. We can find the temperature of each star using the Wien's Law. This law is given by:

\lambda_{max}=\frac{b}{T}=\frac{2.9x10^{-3}[mK]}{T[K]} (1)

So, the temperature of the first and the second star will be:

T_{1}=3866.7 K

T_{2}=6444.4 K

Now the relation between the absolute luminosity and apparent brightness  is given:

L=l\cdot 4\pi r^{2} (2)

Where:

  • L is the absolute luminosity
  • l is the apparent brightness
  • r is the distance from us in light years

Now, we know that two stars have the same apparent brightness, in other words l₁ = l₂

If we use the equation (2) we have:

\frac{L_{1}}{4\pi r_{1}^2}=\frac{L_{2}}{4\pi r_{2}^2}

So the relative distance between both stars will be:

\left(\frac{d_{1}}{d_{2}}\right)^{2}=\frac{L_{1}}{L_{2}} (3)

The Boltzmann Law says, L=A\sigma T^{4} (4)

  • σ is the Boltzmann constant
  • A is the area
  • T is the temperature
  • L is the absolute luminosity

Let's put (4) in (3) for each star.

\left(\frac{d_{1}}{d_{2}}\right)^{2}=\frac{A_{1}\sigma T_{1}^{4}}{A_{2}\sigma T_{2}^{4}}

As we know both stars have the same size we can canceled out the areas.

\left(\frac{d_{1}}{d_{2}}\right)^{2}=\frac{T_{1}^{4}}{T_{2}^{4}}

\frac{d_{1}}{d_{2}}=\sqrt{\frac{T_{1}^{4}}{T_{2}^{4}}}

\frac{d_{1}}{d_{2}}=\sqrt{\frac{T_{1}^{4}}{T_{2}^{4}}}

\frac{d_{1}}{d_{2}}=0.36

I hope it helps!

You're sitting in the back of a taxi and place your bag on the seat next to you. The taxi enters a traffic circle and travels th
svp [43]

Answer:

(d) III only

Explanation:

We have to observe the motion of the bag with respect to taxi , considering taxi as stationary or inertial frame . Since bag is not moving with respect  to taxi , the inertial frame that means , net force on it is zero .So option i and ii are ruled out .

Now how to explain motion of the bag ie why it is stationary ie what are the balancing force acting on it. We know that on a body on circular path , a force called centripetal force is acting on it . So that force must be acting on it . The balancing force is the frictional force which is keeping it stationary with respect to taxi . Hence the third option is correct.

What is the car’s average velocity (in m/s) in interval between t=1.0s to t=1.5s?
Lemur [1.5K]

Answer:

This question is incomplete

Explanation:

This question is incomplete. However, the formula for velocity is;

Velocity (in m/s) = distance/time

The distance the car covered in the completed question is divided by the difference in the time interval

The difference in the time interval will be = 1.5s - 1.0s = 0.5s

NOTE: the distance must be in meters or be converted to meters
