If there are 50 grams of U-238 on day zero of radioactive decay, how much will there be after 4.5 billion years

2 answers:

4 0

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.

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

a car headed north at 15 m/s accelerates for 4.25 s to reach a velocity of 28.3 m/s. What is the acceleration of the car?

Liono4ka [1.6K]

Answer:

The acceleration of the car is $3.13 m/s^2$

Explanation:

In the question it is given that car initially heads north with a velocity $15 m/s$ . It then accelerates for $4.25 s$ and in the end its velocity is $28.3 m/s$ .

initial velocity $u = 15 m/s$

time $t=4.25 s$

final velocity $v=28.3 m/s$

The equation of acceleration is

$a= \frac{(v-u)}{t}$

$= \frac{(28.3-15)}{4.25} = \frac {13.3}{4.25} =3.13m/s^2$

The value of acceleration is positive, here since the car is speeding up. If it was slowing down the value of acceleration would be negative.

A student holds a bike wheel and starts it spinning with an initial angular speed of 9.0 rotations per second. The wheel is subj

KATRIN_1 [288]

Answer:

$\Delta t = 8 s$

Explanation:

As we know that the angular acceleration of the wheel due to friction is constant

so we can use kinematics

$\theta = \omega_i t + \frac{1}{2}\alpha t^2$

so we have

$(65 \times 2\pi) = (2\pi \times 9)(10) + \frac{1}{2}(\alpha)(10^2)$

$130\pi = 180\pi + 50 \alpha$

$\alpha = -\pi rad/s^2$

now time required to completely stop the wheel is given as

$\omega_f = \omega_i + \alpha t$

$0 = (2\pi \times 9) + (-\pi) t$

$t = 18 s$

now time required to stop the wheel is given as

$\Delta t = 18 - 10$

$\Delta t = 8 s$
