We use the work formula to solve for the unknown in the problem. The formula for work is expressed as the product of the net force and the distance traveled by the object. We were given both the force and the distance so we can solve work directly.

Work = 250 N x 50 m = 12500 J

Thus, the answer is C.

A long string is wrapped around a 6.6-cm-diameter cylinder, initially at rest, that is free to rotate on an axle. The string is

lys-0071 [83]

Answer:

$\omega_f=571.42\ rpm$

Explanation:

It is given that,

Diameter of cylinder, d = 6.6 cm

Radius of cylinder, r = 3.3 cm = 0.033 m

Acceleration of the string, $a=1.5\ m/s^2$

Displacement, d = 1.3 m

The angular acceleration is given by :

$\alpha =\dfrac{a}{r}$

$\alpha =\dfrac{1.5}{0.033}$

$\alpha =45.46\ rad/s^2$

The angular displacement is given by :

$\theta=\dfrac{d}{r}$

$\theta=\dfrac{1.3}{0.033}$

$\theta=39.39\ rad$

Using the third equation of rotational kinematics as :

$\omega_f^2-\omega_i^2=2\alpha \theta$

Here, $\omega_i=0$

$\omega_f=\sqrt{2\alpha \theta}$

$\omega_f=\sqrt{2\times 45.46\times 39.39}$

$\omega_f=59.84\ rad/s$

Since, 1 rad/s = 9.54 rpm

So,

$\omega_f=571.42\ rpm$

So, the angular speed of the cylinder is 571.42 rpm. Hence, this is the required solution.

Cesium-137 undergoes beta decay and has a half-life of 30.0 years. How many beta particles are emitted by a 14.0-g sample of ces

Mandarinka [93]

Answer: $0.81\times 10^{16}$ beta particles

Explanation:

$\text{Number of moles}=\frac{\text{Given mass}}{\text{Molar mass}}$

Given mass = 14.0 g

Molar mass = 137 g/mol

$\text{Number of moles of cesium}=\frac{14.0g}{137g/mol}=0.102moles$

According to avogadro's law, 1 mole of every substance weighs equal to its molecular mass and contains avogadro's number $6.023\times 10^{23}$ of particles.

1 mole of cesium contains atoms = $6.023\times 10^{23}$

0.102 moles of cesium contains atoms = $\frac{6.023\times 10^{23}}{1}\times 0.102=0.614\times 10^{23}$

The relation of atoms with time for radioactivbe decay is:

$N_t=N_0\times \frac{1}{2}^{\frac{t}{t_{\frac{1}{2}}}}$

Where $N_t$ =atoms left undecayed

$N_0$ = initial atoms

t = time taken for decay = 3 minutes

${t_{\frac{1}{2}}}$ = half life = 30.0 years = $1.577\times 10^7$ minutes

The fraction that decays : $1-(\frac{1}{2})^{\frac{3}{1.577\times 10^7}}=1.32\times 10^{-7}$

Amount of particles that decay is = $0.614\times 10^{23}\times 1.32\times 10^{-7}=0.81\times 10^{16}$

Thus $0.81\times 10^{16}$ beta particles are emitted by a 14.0-g sample of cesium-137 in three minutes.
