The time taken for the substance to decay to 1 g of its original mass is 350 mins.

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

The half life of a radioactive element is the time taken for the half of the element to decay to half of its original size.

N = N₀(¹/₂)^t/h

where;

  • N is the remaining mass
  • N₀ is the original mass
  • h is half life
  • t is time

1 = 220(¹/₂)^t/h

1/220 = (¹/₂)^t/h

log(1/220) = log(¹/₂)^t/h

log(1/220) = t/h [log(¹/₂)]

-2.342 = t/h (-0.301)

7.78 = t/h

7.78 x h = t

7.78 x 45 min = t

350 mins = t

Thus, the time taken for the substance to decay to 1 g of its original mass is 350 mins.

andrey2020 [161]

Explanation:

It is given that,

Force, F=(-8\ N)i+(6\ N)j

Position vector, r=(3i+4j)\ m

(a) The torque on the particle about the origin is given by :

\tau=F\times r\\\\\tau=(-8i+6j)\times (3i+4j)\\\\\tau=(-50k)\ N-m

(b) To find the angle between r and F use dot product formula as :

F{\cdot} r=|F||r|\ \cos\theta\\\\\cos\theta=\dfrac{F{\cdot} r}{|F| |r|}\\\\\cos\theta=\dfrac{(-8i+6j){\cdot} (3i+4j)}{\sqrt{(-8)^2+6^2} \times \sqrt{3^2+4^2} }\\\\\cos\theta=\dfrac{-24+24}{\sqrt{(-8)^2+6^2} \times \sqrt{3^2+4^2} }\\\\\cos\theta=0\\\\\theta=90^{\circ}

Hence, this is the required solution.

One violin creates a sound whose intensity level is 60dB. Find the intensity level of 16 violins, each playing at this intensity
Yanka [14]

Answer:

72.04 dB.

Explanation:

The intensity level of 60dB corresponds to the sound intensity I given by the equation

60dB = 10log(\dfrac{I}{I_0} )

where I_0 = 1*10^{-12}W/m^2

solving for I we get:

6 = log(\dfrac{I}{I_0} )

10^6 =\dfrac{I}{1*10^{-12}}

\boxed{I = 1*10^{-6} W/m^2}

Now, when 16 violins are playing the intensity I becomes

{I = 16(1*10^{-6} W/m^2)

which on the decibel scale gives

dB = 10log(\dfrac{16*10^{-6}}{1*10^{-12}} )

dB = 72.04\: dB.

Thus, playing 16 violins together gives the intensity level of 72 dB.
