madam [21]3 years ago
4 0

Answer:

A radioactive element or radioactive substance have a half life

Explanation:

The half life of a radioactive element is defined as the time taken for the atoms of the radioactive elements to decay to half the original number

Radioactive decay

Radioactive decay simply the process by which the nucleus of a heavy radioactive element disintegrates and emits alpha or beta particles along with Gama rays

Law of radioactivity

The law states that when a radio active element decays or disintegrates it forms a new element two places below in the periodic table with emission of alpha particles or two places above the element in the periodic table with emission of beta particle.

An iv curve is generated for two ohmic devices, one is a good conductor and the other is a good insulator. which one will have a
allochka39001 [22]

As per the question there are two ohmic devices.

The first ohmic device is a good conductor and the second one is a good insulator.

As per Ohm's law the current flowing through a conductor is directly proportional to the potential difference maintained across the two ends of a conductor at constant temperature and pressure. If V is the potential and I is the current flow through these Ohmic devices,then mathematically it can be written as-

                                                      V∝ I   [ at constant temperature and pressure]

                                                   ⇒V= IR

Here R is the proportionality constant called resistance of the material.

 Hence the resistance R  is calculated as -

                                                         R=\frac{V}{I}

Now a graph is plotted taking potential  V on X-axis and current I along Y- axis.

The graph will be a straight line  for conductor and will be a curve depending on the type of insulator.

The slope of this graph will give  the resistance of the material.

An insulator is a substance through which current flow is very low as its resistance is very high.Hence the slope of the V-I curve is very large.

A conductor is that substance through which current is flown easily as  the resistance of conductor is very low.Hence the slope of V-I curve is smaller,

A child is holding a wagon from rolling straight back down in a driveway that inclined at 20 degree horizontal. if the wagon wei
Digiron [165]

Answer:

F = 51.3°

Explanation:

The component of weight parallel to the inclined plane must be responsible for the rolling back motion of the car. Hence, the force required to be applied by the child must also be equal to that component of weight:

F = Parallel\ Component\ of\ Weight\ of\ Wagon= WSin\theta\\

where,

W = Weight of Wagon = 150 N

θ = Angle of Inclinition = 20°

Therefore,

F = (150\ N)Sin\ 20^o

<u>F = 51.3°</u>

Suppose you want to operate an ideal refrigerator with a cold temperature of -10.0ºC , and you would like it to have a coefficie
Arlecino [84]

Answer: temperature of the hot reservoir is 303.52K

Explanation:

Th=temperagture of hot reservoir

Tc=temperature of cold reservoir 263K

Eff=efficiency of the refrigerator

Cop=coefficient of performance

7

Eff=1/cop

Eff=1/7

Eff=0.142

Eff=1-263/th

0.142-1=-263/th

-0.858=-263/th

Th=303.52K
