If the nuclide has a half-life of eight days, what mass of the nuclide remains in the patient at 6:00 p.m. the next day? (assume

no excretion of the nuclide from the body.)

half life = 8.0 days = 8 * 24 = 192 hr

we know,

half life = 0.693 / K

192 hr = 0.693 / K

K = 3.609 * 10^-3 hr-1

time from 8.00 AM to next day 10.00 pM = 38 hr

Now,

ln (I0 / I) = K * t or

ln (1.6 / I) = 3.609 * 10^-3 * 38 or

I = 1.39 ug

mass of the nuclide remains in the patient = 1.39 ug

We know that half life = 0.693 / K  

                       Half life = 8.0 days (8 ×24)

                   192 hours = 0.693 / K

Consequently, 32 hours pass between 8 AM to 6 PM the following day.

Which nuclide has the longest and shortest half life time?

  • Bismuth-209 (209Bi), a radioisotope of bismuth, has the longest half-life of any radioisotope that undergoes -decay that is currently known (alpha decay). Currently, gold is the heaviest stable monoisotopic element, while lead-208 is the heaviest stable nucleus.
  • Fluorine (9F) has 18 known isotopes, with ages ranging from 13 to 18.
  • Fluorine is a monoisotopic and mononuclidic element since only fluorine-19 is stable and is present in nature in amounts greater than trace amounts.
  • Due to 209Bi's extraordinarily long half-life, it is still possible to treat it as if it were non-radioactive for practically all purposes. It poses a negligible radiation risk because its radioactivity is far lower than that of human flesh.
  • The longest half-life of any radionuclide to have been experimentally identified is that of tellurium-128 (128Te), whose half-life is projected to be 7.7 1024 years through double decay. However, 209Bi still holds the record for alpha decay (double beta decay).

Assuming both graduated cylinders are holding water at room temperature, which cylinder has more thermal energy?
natta225 [31]

Answer:

The correct option is;

The graduate cylinder with more water has more thermal energy because it is holding more water molecules

Explanation:

Given that the thermal energy of the system is the energy possessed by the system by virtue of the increased motion of the particles by virtue of a transfer  of heat, when the content of the system is heated

The thermal energy, Q is given by the following equation;

Q = Mass, m × The specific heat capacity, C × The change in temperature, ΔT

Given that the graduated cylinder with more water has more mass and therefore, more water molecules, than the cylinder with less water, the cylinder with more water has more thermal energy.

A complete series circuit consists of a 12.0 V battery, a 4.70 O resistor, and a switch. The internal resistance of the battery
RoseWind [281]

With the switch open, there's no current in the circuit, and therefore
no voltage drop across any of the dissipative elements (the resistor
or the battery's internal impedance).  So the entire battery voltage
appears across the switch, and the voltmeter reads 12.0V .

When a transformer is step down then
Vera_Pavlovna [14]

Answer:

Hey!

Your answer should be D!

Explanation:

In a transformer Np / Ns is called the voltage ratio. If Ns is less than Np then Vs is less than Vp. This is called a step-down transformer as the voltage is reduced.

If grade 7 students learn six periods and if one period is 40 minutes then how many seconds they learn per day
Ludmilka [50]

Answer:

C. 14400

Explanation:

40min × 6 periods = 240mins total.

1 minute = 60 seconds.

240 minutes × 60 = 14400 seconds.

A bullet with a mass of 5 gramsand speed of 560 m/sis fired horizontally atablock of wood with a mass of 2 kg. The block rests o
Anni [7]

Momentum is conserved if and only if sum of all forces which are exserted on system equals zero. In our situation there are only internal forces, so by Newton's third law their vector sum is 0.

So mv=(m+M)v' \Leftrightarrow v'=\frac{mv}{m+M}.

Kinetic energy of system at first: \frac{mv^2}{2}=784\;\textbf{J}. After: \frac{(m+M)\frac{m^2v^2}{(m+M)^2} }{2}=\frac{m^2v^2}{2(m+M)}\approx 1,96\; \textbf{J}. The secret is that other energy is in work of deformation forces (they in turn heat a bullet and a block).

Answer is A)
