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!

The given question is incomplete. The complete question is as follows.

For your senior project, you would like to build a cyclotron that will accelerate protons to 10% of the speed of light. The largest vacuum chamber you can find is 60 cm in diameter.

What magnetic field strength will you need?

Explanation:

Formula for the strength of magnetic field is as follows.

      B = \frac{mv}{qr}

Here,    m = mass of proton = 1.67 \times 10^{-27} kg

      v = velocity = 10% of 3 \times 10^{8} = 3 \times 10^{7} m/s

      q = charge of proton = 1.6 \times 10^{-19} C

      r = radius = \frac{60}{2} = 30 cm = 0.30 m   (as 1 m = 100 cm)

Therefore, magnetic field will be calculated as follows.

            B = \frac{mv}{qr}

               = \frac{1.67 \times 10^{-27} \times 3 \times 10^{7}}{1.6 \times 10^{-19} C \times 0.30 m}

               = \frac{5.01 \times 10^{-20}}{0.48 \times 10^{-19}}

               = 1.0437 T

Thus, we can conclude that magnetic field strength is 1.0437 T.

IceJOKER [234]

Answer:

Inverse proportion, greater

Explanation:

The relation between wavelength (λ) and frequency (ν) is given by

\nu = \frac{c}{\lambda }

Where c speed of light in vacuum.

We can see from this equation that wavelength and frequency are related inversely.

Now,

E= h \nu

Where 'E' is energy of electromagnetic radiation and 'h' is Planck's constant.

We can see from this equation that greater frequency (ν) will give greater electromagnetic radiation (E). As they are directly proportional.

Hence,

When decreasing electromagnetic radiation there is a(n) Inverse proportion relationship between wavelength and frequency and the greater the frequency, the greater energy the electromagnetic radiation has

How do greenhouse gasses and fossil fuse have an impact on the earth?
Citrus2011 [14]
Greenhouse gases can cause Earth's atmosphere to trap more and more heat. This causes Earth to warm up. Using fossil fuels results in a rise of greenhouse gases.
