We use the formula of the half-life to calculate for the remaining U-238 after 4.5 billion years. The formula is expressed as A = A₀ (1/2)^(t/h) where A is the final amount, A₀ is the initial amount of the substance, t is the time and h is the half-life of the substance wherein for U-238 h is equal to 4.47 billion years.

<span>A = A₀ (1/2)^(t/h)
</span>A = 50 (1/2)^(4.5 / 4.47)
A = 24.88 g

Leviafan [203]

Answer:

2.23 × 10^6 g of F- must be added to the cylindrical reservoir in order to obtain a drinking water with a concentration of 0.8ppm of F-

Explanation:

Here are the steps of how to arrive at the answer:

The volume of a cylinder = ((pi)D²/4) × H

Where D = diameter of the cylindrical reservoir = 2.02 × 10^2m

H = Height of the reservoir = 87.32m

Therefore volume of cylindrical reservoir = (3.142×202²/4)m² × 87.32m = 2798740.647m³

1ppm = 1g/m³

0.8ppm = 0.8 × 1g/m³

= 0.8g/m³

Therefore to obtain drinking water of concentration 0.8g/m³ in a reservoir of volume 2798740.647m³, F- of mass = 0.8g/m³ × 2798740.647m³ = 2.23 × 10^6 g must be added to the tank.

Thank you for reading.

Find the impedance of the load for maximum power transfer in the attached circuit.
Tanya [424]
I can't find the attached circuit.

Maximum power transfer occurs when the load impedance
is equal to the internal impedance of the power source.

Find the total power developed in the circuit. Express your answer using three significant figures and include the appropriate u
BabaBlast [244]

Answer:

37 W

Explanation:

Power is the time rate of dissipation or absorbing energy. The power supplied or absorbed by an element is the product of the current flowing through the element and the voltage across the element. Power is measured in watts. If the power is positive then it is absorbed by the element and if it is negative then it is supplied by the element.

Power = voltage * current

For element A: Power = 36 V * -4 A = -144 W

For element B: Power = -20 V * -4 A = 80 W

For element C: Power = -24 V * 4 A = -94 W

For element D: Power = -80 V * -1.5 A = 120 W

For element E: Power = 30 V * 2.5 A = 75 W

The total power developed in the circuit = sum of power through the element = (-144 W) + 80 W + (-94 W) + 120 W + 75 W = 37 W

Julli [10]

Answer:

The formula for induced EMF is ε = BLv

The B is the magnetic field of the earth. I will solve this problem with a value of 1 X 10-4 T for the accepted value of the earths magnetic field. However, with that said, your book may use a different value. If that is the case, this answer will be wrong, but the formula works. All you will need to to is find the value for the earth's magnetic field that your book wants you to use, and substitute for 1 X 10-4 T.

ε = BLv

ε = (1 X 10-4)(1.8 X 104)(7.8 X 103) = 14040 V

Again, if your book does not like this answer, use this equation

ε = (B)(1.8 X 104)(7.8 X 103) and just plug in a different value for B found in your text
