Answer:

A simple machine consisting of an axle to which a wheel is fastened so that torque applied to the wheel winds a rope or chain onto the axle, yielding a mechanical advantage equal to the ratio of the diameter of the wheel to that of the axle.

What is the number N0 of 99mTc atoms that must be present to have an activity of 15mCi?

svetoff [14.1K]

Base on my research, within 2 hours you have a number of atoms which remain.
N= N0*2^(-t/6.020 = N= N0*2^-0.33223= 07943 N0

So, the number of atoms that are being disintegrated is N0-N=N0*(1-0.79430)=0.2057 N0

It must be equal to 15 mCi = 15*3.7*10^7= 5.55*10^8 atoms

N0= 5.55*10*8/0.2057 = 2.698*10^9 atoms

Therefore, 2.698*10^9 atoms is the number of N0

Projectile Motion: A pilot drops a package from a plane flying horizontally at a constant speed. Neglecting air resistance, when

love history [14]

Answer:

Explanation:

The package had the same velocity as the plane when it was dropped. Newton's 1st Law says that "an object in motion tends to stay in motion, at the same velocity, in a straight line unless acted on by an outside force".

There only outside force acting on the package was its weight -- that force is straight down. The horizontal velocity that the plane gave the package continued (as Newton said it would), so as it fell, horizontally it kept pace with the plane.

A 0.00275 kg air‑inflated balloon is given an excess negative charge q1 =−3.50×10−8 C by rubbing it with a blanket. It is found

Answer:

1) $\rm q_2$ is<u> positive.</u>

<u></u>

2) $\rm q_2=4.56\times 10^{-10}\ C.$

Explanation:

<u></u>

The charged rod is held above the balloon and the weight of the balloon acts in downwards direction. To balance the weight of the balloon, the force on the balloon due to the rod must be directed along the upwards direction, which is only possible when the rod exerts an attractive force on the balloon and the electrostatic force on the balloon due to the rod is attractive when the polarities of the charge on the two are different.

Thus, In order for this to occur, the polarity of charge on the rod must be positive, i.e., $\rm q_2$ is <u>positive.</u>

<u></u>

<u></u>

<u>Given:</u>

Mass of the balloon, m = 0.00275 kg.
Charge on the balloon, $\rm q_1 = -3.50\times 10^{-8}\ C.$
Distance between the rod and the balloon, d = 0.0640 m.
Acceleration due to gravity, $\rm g = 9.81\ m/s^2.$

In order to balloon to be float in air, the weight of the balloom must be balanced with the electrostatic force on the balloon due to rod.

Weight of the balloon, $\rm W = mg = 0.00275\times 9.81=2.70\times 10^{-2}\ N.$

The magnitude of the electrostatic force on the balloon due to the rod is given by

$\rm F_e = \dfrac{1}{4\pi \epsilon_o}\dfrac{|q_1||q_2|}{d^2}.$

$\rm \dfrac{1}{4\pi \epsilon_o}$ is the Coulomb's constant.

For the elecric force and the weight to be balanced,

$\rm F_e = W\\\dfrac{1}{4\pi \epsilon_o}\dfrac{|q_1||q_2|}{d^2}=W\\8.99\times 10^9\times \dfrac{3.50\times10^{-8}\times |q_2| }{0.0640^2}=2.70\times 10^{-2}\\|q_2| = \dfrac{2.70\times 10^{-2}\times 0.00640^2}{8.99\times 10^9\times 2.70\times 10^{-7}}=4.56\times 10^{-10}\ C.$
