Answer: v = 0.6 m/s
Explanation: <u>Momentum</u> <u>Conservation</u> <u>Principle</u> states that for a collision between two objects in an isolated system, the total momentum of the objects before the collision is equal to the total momentum of the objects after the collision.
Momentum is calculated as Q = m.v
For the piñata problem:
Before the collision, the piñata is not moving, so .
After the collision, the stick stops, so .
Rearraging, we have:
Substituting:
0.6
Immediately after being cracked by the stick, the piñata has a swing speed of 0.6 m/s.
Answer:
t = 4.41 10⁻⁴ years
Explanation:
For this exercise we must use the concept of average life time, which is the time in which the quantity and substance decays in half
= ln2 / λ
Let's calculate the decay constant of plutonium
λ = ln2 /
λ = ln 2 / 2.44 10⁵
λ = 2.84 10⁻⁶ s⁻¹
Radioactive decay is a first order process
N = No e (-λ t)
Where N is the number of nuclei, the mass is this by molecular weight
m = N PM
m / PM = m₀ / PM e (- λ t)
m / m₀ = e (- λ t)
-λ t = ln (m / m₀)
t = -1 /λ ln (m/m₀)
t = - 1 / 2.84 10⁻⁶ ln (0.1 / 0.35)
t = 4.41 10⁻⁴ years
