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!

A moon of mass 1×10^20kg is in a circular orbit around a planet. The planet exerts a gravitational force of 2×10^21n on the moon
vagabundo [1.1K]

Hi there!

In this instance, the centripetal force experienced by the moon is equivalent to the gravitational force.

Thus:
\large\boxed{F_c = F_g}

Centripetal acceleration, according to Newton's Second Law:


\Sigma F = ma \\\\F_c = m * a_c\\\\a_c = \frac{F_c}{m}

Therefore:

a_c = \frac{F_g}{m_m} = \frac{2 * 10^{21}N}{1 * 10^{20}kg} = \boxed{20 N/kg}

The temperature coefficient of a certain conducting material is 5.74 × 10-3 (°C)-1. (a) At what temperature would the resistance
Alex777 [14]

Answer:

Temperature at which the resistance is twice the resistance at 20^{\circ}C is 194.216^{\circ}C

Solution:

As per the question:

Temperature coefficient, \alpha = 5.74\times 10^{- 3}^{\circ}C

Reference temperature, T_{o} = 20^{\circ}C

Resistance, R_{t} = 2R_{o}

Now, using the formula:

R_{t} = R_{o}(1 + \alpha \Delta T)

2R_{o} = R_{o}(1 + \alpha \times (T _ T_{o}))

2 = 1 + 5.74\times 10^{- 3}\times (T - 20^{\circ})

\frac{1}{5.74\times 10^{- 3}} = T - 20^{\circ}

T = 174.216 + 20 = 194.216^{\circ}

  • Yes, this temperature holds for all all the conductors of copper, irrespective of the size and shape of the conductor.
