The temperature of the water getting colder would cause the liquid in the thermometer to drop due to less heat being transferred from the water to the liquid, so the liquid molecules are closer than when they have high energy.

A sample of Bismuth-212 has a mass of 2.64 grams (g) after 121 seconds (s). What was the initial mass of the sample if Bismuth-2
uysha [10]
The mass of a radioactive element at time t is given by
m(t) = m_0 ( \frac{1}{2} )^{ \frac{t}{t_{1/2}} }
where m_0 is the mass at time zero, while t_{1/2} is the half-life of the element.

In our problem, m(t)=2.64 g, t=121.0 s and t_{1/2}=60.5 s, so we can find the initial mass m_0:
m_0= \frac{m(t)}{ (\frac{1}{2})^{t/t_{1/2}} } = \frac{2.64 g}{( \frac{1}{2} )^{121/60.5}} =4 \cdot 2.64 g=10.56 g

An accelerating voltage
ki77a [65]
Accelerating voltage<span> is the difference in potential between the filament and the anode,and it can be varied between 5 KeV and 30 KeV on the S-500 and between 2 KeV and 30 KeV on the S-450. As the </span>voltage<span> is increased, the electrons travel with higher velocity and are more energetic.</span>

Determine the slit width that produces a diffraction pattern with the 2nd dark fringe at 6.2mm from the central fringe. The scre
Elanso [62]

Answer:

d= 0.242 mm

Explanation:

Slit width (d ) = ?

Screen distance ( D ) = 1.25 m

Wave length of light λ = 600 nm

Distance of n the dark fringe from centre

= n λ D / d

Here n = 2

so

6.2\times10^{-3}=\frac{2\times600\times10^{-9}}{d}

d=\frac{1500\times10^{-6}}{6.2}

d= 0.242 mm

Atmospheric pressure varies from day to day. The level of a floating ship on a high-pressure day is (a) higher (b) lower, or (c)
frez [133]

Answer:

(c) no different than on a low-pressure day.

Explanation:

The force acting on the ship when it floats in water is the buoyant force. According to the Archimedes' principle: The magnitude of buoyant force acting on the body of the object is equal to the volume displaced by the object.

Thus, Buoyant forces are a volume phenomenon and is determined by the volume of the fluid displaced.  

<u>Whether it is a high pressure day or a low pressure day, the level of the floating ship is unaffected because the increased or decreased pressure at the all the points of the water and the ship and there will be no change in the volume of the water displaced by the ship.</u>
