Answer:

s = 30330.7 m = 30.33 km

Explanation:

First we need to calculate the speed of sound at the given temperature. For this purpose we use the following formula:

v = v₀√[T/273 k]

where,

v = speed of sound at given temperature = ?

v₀ = speed of sound at 0°C = 331 m/s

T = Given Temperature = 10°C + 273 = 283 k

Therefore,

v = (331 m/s)√[283 k/273 k]

v = 337 m/s

Now, we use the following formula to calculate the distance traveled by sound:

s = vt

where,

s = distance traveled = ?

t = time taken = 90 s

Therefore,

s = (337 m/s)(90 s)

a sample contains 100 g of radioactive isotope. How much radioactive isotope will remain in the sample after 1 half-life?

kap26 [50]

Answer:

$\huge\boxed{50g}$

Definition:

Half-life- The time taken for half of the radioactive isotopes to decay.

Explanation:

How does radioactive decay work? Radioactive decay is a process by which unstable nuclei become more stable through the emission of alpha or beta particles or gamma rays.

Since a half-life is the time taken for half of the isotopes to decay, we can simply divide the initial mass of 100 grams by 2; this gives us 50 grams.

1) Divide 100g by 2.

$\frac{100g}{2}=50g$

Two charges +q and -q are situated at certain distance, at the point exactly midway betwee them what happens on electric field a

Luden [163]

Answer: Electric field is not zero but potential is zero

Explanation:

In science, charge, also recognized as electric charge, electrical charge, or electrostatic charge and expressed q, is a component of a unit of body that reveals the extent to which it has more or fewer electrons than protons.

Considering the direction of the electric field is of positive to negative charge. Therefore, it determination be toward due −q also due to both the charges.

But for potential, it is a scalar quantity, so the sum of potential due to all the charges will be zero.

Henceforth, the option (c) Electric field is not zero but potential is zero is the correct answer.

a incorect

From the above statements, we could conclude that option (c) Electric field is not zero, but potential is zero is the correct answer. So, the option (a) Electric field and potential both are zero is an incorrect solution.

b incorect

Among all the options, the option (c) Electric field is not zero but potential is zero is the correct answer.

Therefore, the option (b) Electric field is zero but potential is not zero is an incorrect solution

d) is incorrect

It has been explained that the option (c) Electric field is not zero but potential is zero is the correct answer.

Hence, the option (d) Electric field is not zero but potential is zero is an incorrect solution.

A mixture of helium and oxygen is used in scuba diving tanks to help prevent ""the bends"". 46 L helium and 12 L oxygen are comb

marin [14]

Answer

given,

For helium

Volume,V = 46 L

Pressure,P = 1 atm

Temperature,T = 25°C = 273 +25 = 298 K

R=0.0821 L . atm /mole.K

n₁ = ?

number of moles

we know

P V = n R T

$n_1 =\dfrac{46 \times 1}{0.0821\times 298}$

n₁ = 1.89 moles

For oxygen

Volume,V = 12 L

Pressure,P = 1 atm

Temperature,T = 25°C = 273 +25 = 298 K

R=0.0821 L . atm /mole.K

n₂ = ?

number of moles

we know

P V = n R T

$n_2 =\dfrac{12 \times 1}{0.0821\times 298}$

n₂ = 0.49 moles

Total volume of tank = 5 L

temperature of tank = 298 K

Partial pressure of helium

$P_1=\dfrac{n_1 R T}{V}$

$P_1=\dfrac{1.89\times 0.0821\times 298}{5}$

P₁ = 9.25 atm

Partial pressure of oxygen

$P_2=\dfrac{n_2 R T}{V}$

$P_2=\dfrac{0.49\times 0.0821\times 298}{5}$

P₂ = 2.39 atm

total pressure

P = P₁ + P₂

P = 9.25 + 2.39

P = 11.64 atm

How far can a person run in 13.22 minutes if he or she runs at an average speed of 12.33 km/hr?

Alenkinab [10]

Answer:

2.72 km

Explanation:

(12.33 km)/ 1 hr * (1 hr)/ 60 min

0.2055 km/ min

distance=rate * time (assuming v is constant,

a=0)

(0.2055 km/ min)*(13.22 min)

2.72 km OR 2716.71 m

PLEASE HELP ASAP! THANKS!<br><br> Why is it a rare occasion to see a solar eclipse from your home?

Y_Kistochka [10]

Answer:

It is very rare to see a solar eclipse from your home, because the Earth, Sun, and the moon need to align just right. Not everyone in the world can view a solar eclipse, only some area can. A solar eclipse is where the moon blocks out the sun. If you think about it: Let's say you live in Florida, U.S.A. You may see the moon coming in front of the sun, but if you lived in California or sumthin', the moon and the sun wouldn't be aligned to form a solar eclipse. It all depends on location... so it is rare to see one.
