Answer:

Explanation:

The half life of a radioactive substance is the time in which the activity of the radioactive substance becomes half of its initial activity.

Or

The time in which the amount of radioactive substance becomes half of its initial amount in a sample.

It is denoted by T .

The relation between the decay constant and the half life is given by

\lambda =\frac{0.693}{T}

A 2.00 kg block hangs from a spring balance calibrated in Newtons that is attached to the ceiling of an elevator.(a) What does t
tresset_1 [31]

Answer:

Part a)

Reading = 2.00 kg

Part b)

Reading = 2.00 kg

Part c)

Reading = 4.04 kg

Part d)

from t = 0 to t = 4.9 s

so the reading of the scale will be same as that of weight of the block

Then its speed will reduce to zero in next 3.2 s

from t = 4.9 to t = 8.1 s

The reading of the scale will be less than the actual mass

Explanation:

Part a)

When elevator is ascending with constant speed then we will have

F_{net} = 0

T - mg = 0

T = mg

So it will read same as that of the mass

Reading = 2.00 kg

Part b)

When elevator is decending with constant speed then we will have

F_{net} = 0

T - mg = 0

T = mg

So it will read same as that of the mass

Reading = 2.00 kg

Part c)

When elevator is ascending with constant speed 39 m/s and acceleration 10 m/s/s then we will have

F_{net} = ma

T - mg = ma

T = mg + ma

Reading is given as

Reading = \frac{mg + ma}{g}

Reading = 2.00\frac{9.81 + 10}{9.81}

Reading = 4.04 kg

Part d)

Here the speed of the elevator is constant initially

from t = 0 to t = 4.9 s

so the reading of the scale will be same as that of weight of the block

Then its speed will reduce to zero in next 3.2 s

from t = 4.9 to t = 8.1 s

The reading of the scale will be less than the actual mass

If izzy mass is 0.3kg he applide 657.9n force what will be the accelration​
Sholpan [36]

Answer:

The acceleration of the body, a = 2193 m/s²

Explanation:

Given,

The mass of the body, m = 0.3 kg

The force acting on the body, F = 657.9 N

The force acting on an object is proportional to the product of mass and acceleration of the body.

                         F = m x a

Therefore, the acceleration of the body is

                           a = F / m

                              = 657.9 N / 0.3 kg

                              = 2193 m/s²

Hence, the acceleration of the body, a = 2193 m/s²

A small piece of Styrofoam packing material is dropped from a height of 2.60 m above the ground. Until it reaches terminal speed
Vadim26 [7]

Answer:

Explanation:

a ) After the attainment of terminal speed , object takes 4.5 s to cover a distance of 2 m

So terminal speed V = 2 / 4.5

= .444 m /s

When it attains terminal speed , acceleration becomes zero

0 = g - B x .444

B = 22.25 s⁻¹

b ) At t = 0 , v = 0

a = g - B v

a = g at t = 0

c ) When v = .15

a = g - 22.25 x .15

= 9.8 - 3.31

= 6.5  m /s²
