Answer:

m =8.81*10^{-6}grams

time t = 52.8 year

Explanation:

GIVEN DATA:

the half life of the CO-60 is, T_1/2 = 5.27 years = 1.663 e+8 s

activity dN/dt = 1 mCi = 3.7 X 10^7 decay/s

activity ,  dN/dt = N* \lambda

              \frac{dN}{dt} = N* \frac{ln2}{T_1/2}

                   N = \frac{(dN/dt )(T1/2)}{ln2}

                      = ( 3.7 X 10^7 )(1.663*10^8 ) / ln2

                      = 8.877*10^{16}

Number of moles:

     n = N/NA = 8.877*10^{16} / 6.022X10^23 = 1.474*10^{-7} mol

mass of the CO-60 is,

   m = n*M = [1.474*10^{-7} mol]*[59.93 grams /mol] = 8.81*10^{-6}grams

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    time t = -[T1/2 / ln2]*ln[N/N0]

             = - [5.3 years / ln2]*ln[1x10-6/1x10-3]

             = 52.8 year

Question 1 (1 point)
TiliK225 [7]

Answer:

The resultant velocity of the plane relative to the ground is;

150 kh/h north

Explanation:

The flight speed of the plane = 210 km/h

The direction of flight of the plane = North

The speed at which the wind is blowing = 60 km/h

The direction of the wind = South

Therefore, representing the speed of the plane and the wind in vector format, we have;

The velocity vector of the plane = 210.\hat j

The velocity vector of the wind = -60.\hat j

Where, North is taken as the positive y or \hat j direction

The resultant velocity vector is found by summation of the two vectors as follows;

Resultant velocity vector = The velocity vector of the plane + The velocity vector of the wind

Resultant velocity vector = 210.\hat j  + (-60.\hat j) =  210.\hat j  - 60.\hat j = 150.\hat j

The resultant velocity vector = 150.\hat j

Therefore, the resultant velocity of the plane relative to the ground = 150 kh/h north.

A rod 25 cm long moves in a plane perpendicular to a magnetic field of 600 G. The velocity of the rod is perpendicular to its le
Airida [17]

Answer:

v = 666.667 m/s

Explanation:

<u>Given</u>: length L = 25 cm = 0.25 m,  B = 600 G =  0.06 T ( 1G = 0.0001 T)

emf= 10 V

Solution:

emf = vBL

v= emf / BL

v = 10 V / (0.06 T× 0.25 m)

v = 666.667 m/s
