4. Two scientists are experimenting with pure samples of isotope X, a highly radioactive substance. The first scientist has a sa

mple with a mass of 20 grams. He
measures a half-life of 232 seconds. The second scientist has a sample of the same substance with a mass of 80 grams. What is the half-life that she is most likely
to measure?
A. 58 seconds
B.232 seconds
C.464 seconds
D. 928 seconds

4 0

Answer:

D

Explanation:

The substances are the exact same!

The half life should be the same too :)

A half life is how long it takes for a substance to break down and leave your system.

So for 20 grams, it goes away in 232 seconds, but for 80 grams, which is 4 times the amount, you would also multiply the half life by 4

I hope this is correct!

A mass m is attached to an ideal massless spring with spring constant k. In experiment 1 the mass oscillates with amplitude a, a
Trava [24]

Time period remains the same in both the experiment as change in amplitude does not affect time period.

What are the factors on which time period depends in SHM?

Time period is given by:

T=2\pi \sqrt{\frac{m}{k} }

where,

T = time period

m = mass

k = spring constant

In a straightforward harmonic motion, we see from the preceding formula that the time period depends only on the object's mass and spring constant (SHM). The time period will adjust to any variations in the object's mass or the spring constant.

What is Spring Constant?

A spring's "spring constant" is a property that quantifies the relationship between the force acting on the spring and the displacement it produces. In other words, it characterises a spring's stiffness and the extent of its range of motion.

Walt ran 5 km in 25 minutes going east to what was his average velocity
goldenfox [79]

distance d = 5 km = 5 x 1000 m = 5000 m

time taken = 25 minute = 25 x 60 sec = 1500 sec

average velocity V = d/t

V = 5000/1500

V = 3.33 m/s towards east

you travel 4.0km east, 4.0km north, then 5.0km at 53.1 degrees north of west in a total of 5 hours. What is the magnitude and di
Sergio039 [100]

Answer:

Explanation:

We shall convert all the displacement in vector form .

i and j represents east and north respectively .

D₁ = 4 i

D₂ = 4 j

D₃ = - 5 cos 53.1 i + 5 sin 53.1 j

= -3i + 4 j

Total displacement = D₁ + D₂ + D₃

= 4i + 4 j - 3i + 4 j

= i + 8j

magnitude of displacement = √( 1² + 8² )

= 8.06 km

velocity = 8.06 / 5

= 1.61 km / h

Direction from x axis in anticlockwise direction .

Tanθ =  8 / 1 = 8

θ = 83° north of east .

A 1000 kg car drives off of u 30m cliff of
Inessa05 [86]

The mechanical energy of the car is 1.54\cdot 10^6 J

Explanation:

The mechanical energy of an object is equal to the sum of its gravitational potential energy (GPE) and its kinetic energy (KE):

E = GPE + KE

The GPE of the car is given by:

GPE = mgh

where

m = 1000 kg is the mass of the car

g=9.8 m/s^2 is the acceleration of gravity

h = 30 m is the height of the car above the ground

Substituting,

GPE=(1000)(9.8)(30)=2.94\cdot 10^5 J

The kinetic energy of the car is given by:

KE=\frac{1}{2}mv^2

where

m = 1000 kg

v = 50 m/s is the speed of the car

Substituting,

KE=\frac{1}{2}(1000)(50)^2=1.25\cdot 10^6 J

Therefore, the mechanical energy is

E=GPE+KE=2.94\cdot 10^5 + 1.25\cdot 10^6 = 1.54\cdot 10^6 J
