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

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!

An LC circuit consists of a 3.4-µF capacitor and a coil with a self-inductance 0.080 H and no appreciable resistance. At t = 0 t
alexira [117]

Answer

given,

capacitance = C = 3.4-µF

inductance = L = 0.08 H

frequency is expressed as

f = \dfrac{1}{2\pi\sqrt{LC}}

time period

T = \dfrac{1}{f}=2\pi\sqrt{LC}

after time T/4 current reach maximum

 t = \dfrac{T}{4}

 t = \dfrac{2\pi\sqrt{LC}}{4}

 t = \dfrac{2\pi\sqrt{0.08 \times 3.4 \times 10^{-6}}}{4}

        t = 8.2 x 10⁻⁴ s

        t = 0.82 ms

b) using law of conservation

  \dfrac{1}{2}CV^2=\dfrac{1}{2}LI^2

  I^2 = \dfrac{CV^2}{L}

  I^2 = \dfrac{C}{L}\dfrac{Q^2}{C^2}

  I =\sqrt{\dfrac{Q^2}{CL}}

  I =\sqrt{\dfrac{(5.4 \times 10^{-6})^2}{0.08 \times 3.4 \times 10^{-6}}}

       I = 0.010 A

       I = 10 mA

Two clouds collide and form another, more massive cloud. One cloud is stationary, while the other is traveling at 1 m/s. After t
sweet [91]

Answer: 3

Explanation:

Given

One cloud is traveling at rate of u_2=1\ m/s

combined velocity of the two is v=0.25\ m/s

Suppose the masses of the clouds be m_1,m_2

Conserving momentum

\Rightarrow m_1u_1+m_2u_2=\left(m_1+m_2\right)v\\\text{Divide whole equation by }m_2\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{m_1}{m_2}u_1+u_2=\left(\dfrac{m_1}{m_2}+1\right)v\\\\\Rightarrow 0+1=0.25\dfrac{m_1}{m_2}+0.25\\\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{m_1}{m_2}=\dfrac{0.75}{0.25}\\\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{m_1}{m_2}=3

What is also known as watered carbons
faltersainse [42]
The name carbohydrate means "watered carbon" or carbon with attached water molecules. Many carbohydrates have empirical formuli which would imply about equal numbers of carbon and water molecules. For example, the glucose formula C6H12O6 suggests six carbon atoms and six water molecules.
