You have a radioactive sample with a half-life of 1 hour. At t = 1 hour, a Geiger counter measures its radiation at 40 counts/mi

Mama L [17]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given that, .

The half-life of a radioactive element is

t½ = 1 hr.

At the first hour, the radioactive element has 40 counts/minute

After 4 hours it has 5 counts/minute

So,

We want to filled the table.

0 hours, I.e at the start

40 counts/mins × 2 = 80 counts / mis

First half-life (first hour) is

40 counts/mins

Second half-life (second hour)

40 counts/mins × ½ = 20 counts/mins

Third half-life (third hour)

40 counts/mins × ¼ = 10 counts / mins

Fourth half life (fourth hour)

40 counts/mins × ⅛ = 5 counts / mins

So, the table is

Time........................Geiger Counter Rate

0 hours.................... 80 counts / minutes

1 hour........................ 40 counts / minutes

2 hours..................... 20 counts / minutes

3 hours..................... 10counts / minutes

4 hours...................... 5 counts / minute

When the mass of the bottle is 0.125 kg, the average maximum height of the beanbag is m. When the mass of the bottle is 0.250 kg

Jet001 [13]

Answer:

when the mass of the bottle is 0.125 kg, the average height of the beanbag is 0.35 m.

when the mass of the bottle is 0.250 kg, the average maximum height of the beanbag is 0.91m.

when the mass of the bottle is 0.375 kg, the average maximum height of the beanbag is 1.26m.

when the mass of the bottle is 0.500 kg, the average maximum height of the beanbag is 1.57m.

The vertical force f acts downward at A on the two membered frames. Determine the magnitude of the two components of F directed

galben [10]

Answer:

The magnitude will be "353.5 N". A further solution is given below.

Explanation:

The given values is:

F = 500 N

According to the question,

In ΔABC,

⇒ $\angle BCA = (90-30)$

⇒ $=60^{\circ}$

then,

⇒ $\angle BAC=(180-45-60)$

⇒ $=75^{\circ}$

Now,

The corresponding angle will be:

⇒ $\angle FAC=60^{\circ}$

⇒ $\angle FAB=70+60$

⇒ $=135^{\circ}$

Aspect of F across the AC arm will be:

= $F\times cos(60)$

On putting the values of F, we get

= $500\times (.5)$

= $200 \ Newton$

Component F along the AC (in magnitude) will be:

= $F\times cos(135)$

= $500\times (-.707)$

= $-353.5 \ N \$

HELPPP<br> why is the united states considered energy rich, while japan is considered energy poor

Temka [501]

Answer:

Energy resources can be measured. They will include the fossil fuels, geothermal and hydroelectric potential, and increasingly the renewable resources. When the US list is compared to the World it is considered energy Rich. When Japan's list is compared to the world standard it considered energy poor.

A changing technology like nuclear fusion could substantially change the assessment.

Japan does not have any substantial, oil, coal, gas, deposits, while the US does.
