Diego is playing basketball. While running at 7 km/h toward a basketball hoop, he throws the ball at the net. The ball travels a

t 20 km/h. What is the speed of the ball relative to the net?

Answer:

27 km/h

Explanation:

Let's take the direction in which Diego is travelling as positive direction. Therefore:

- Diego is travelling at a velocity of +7 km/h, towards the net

- The ball travels at +20 km/h towards the net, with respect to Diego's reference system

Therefore, the velocity of the ball with respect to the net reference system is equal to the sum of the two velocities:

$v'=7 km/h+20 km/h=+27 km/h$

Hmm well best i can do is: 7 km/h + 20 km/h = 27 km/h. should be your answer.

Suppose that we use a heater to boil liquid nitrogen (N2 molecules). 4480 J of heat turns 20 g of liquid nitrogen into gas. Note

love history [14]

Answer:

The energy is $9.4\times10^{-21}\ J$

(a) is correct option

Explanation:

Given that,

Energy = 4480 j

Weight of nitrogen = 20 g

Boil temperature = 77 K

Pressure = 1 atm

We need to calculate the internal energy

Using first law of thermodynamics

$Q=\Delta U+W$

$Q=\Delta U+nRT$

Put the value into the formula

$4480=\Delta U+\dfrac{20}{28}\times8.314\times77$

$\Delta U=4480-\dfrac{20}{28}\times8.314\times77$

$\Delta U=4022.73\ J$

We need to calculate the number of molecules in 20 g N₂

Using formula of number of molecules

$N=n\times \text{Avogadro number}$

Put the value into the formula

$N=\dfrac{20}{28}\times6.02\times10^{23}$

$N=4.3\times10^{23}$

We need to calculate the energy

Using formula of energy

$E=\dfrac{\Delta U}{N}$

Put the value into the formula

$E=\dfrac{4022.73}{4.3\times10^{23}}$

$E=9.4\times10^{-21}\ J$

Hence, The energy is $9.4\times10^{-21}\ J$

Which is true?A)The spin angular momentum vector itself can be measured, and it can be aligned along the measurement axis (z axi

12345 [234]

Answer:

Option A is correct

Explanation:

Direction of spin can be measured because of the behaviours of the particle as it goes through a magnetic field and the size of the spin is dependant on type of particle.

Your friend says that for a moving object to continue moving, a force must be continually applied to it. Do you agree with your

Zigmanuir [339]

Answer:

I would disagree with my friend because that according to Newton's first law, an object in motion will continue to be in motion until stopped by another object/force. If the object is already moving, it will stay in motion until something else stops it. There is no need for a force to be <em>continually</em> applied to it while it's already moving.

A) 320 count/min

B) 40 count/min

C) 80 count/min, 11400 years

Explanation:

A)

The activity of a radioactive sample is the number of decays per second in the sample.

The activity of a sample is therefore directly proportional to the number of nuclei in the sample:

$A\propto N$

where A is the activity and N the number of nuclei.

As a consequence, since the number of nuclei is proportional to the mass of the sample, the activity is also directly proportional to the mass of the sample:

$A\propto m$

where m is the mass of the sample.

In this problem:

- When the mass is $m_1 = 1 g$ , the activity is $A_1=16 count/min$

- When the mass is $m_2=20 g$ , the activity is $A_2$

So we can find A2 by using the rule of three:

$\frac{A_1}{m_1}=\frac{A_2}{m_2}\\A_2=A_1 \frac{m_2}{m_1}=(16)\frac{20}{1}=320 count/min$

B)

The equation describing the activity of a radioactive sample as a function of time is:

$A(t)= A_0 e^{-\lambda t}$ (1)

where

$A_0$ is the initial activity at time t = 0

t is the time

$\lambda$ is the decay constant, which gives the probability of decay

The decay constant can be found using the equation

$\lambda = \frac{ln2}{t_{1/2}}$

where $t_{1/2}$ is the half-life, which is the amount of time it takes for the radioactive sample to halve its activity.

In this problem, carbon-14 has half-life of

$t_{1/2}=5700 y$

So its decay constant is

$\lambda=\frac{ln2}{5700}=1.22\cdot 10^{-4} y^{-1}$

We also know that the tree died

t = 17,100 years ago

and that the initial activity was

$A_0 = 320 count/min$ (value calculated in part A, corresponding to a mass of 20 g)

So, substituting into eq(1), we find the new activity:

$A(17,100) = (320)e^{-(1.22\cdot 10^{-4})(17,100)}=40 count/min$

C)

We know that a sample of living wood has an activity of

$A=16 count/min$ per 1 g of mass.

Here we have 5 g of mass, therefore the activity of the sample when it was living was:

$A_0 = A\cdot 5 = (16)(5)=80 count/min$

Moreover, here we have a sample of 5 g, with current activity of $A=20 count/min$ : it means that its activity per gram of mass is

$A'=\frac{20}{5}=4 count/min$

We know that the activity halves after every half-life: Here the activity has became 1/4 of the original value, this means that 2 half-lives have passed, because:

- After 1 half-life, the activity drops from 16 count/min to 8 count/min

- After 2 half-lives, the activity dropd to 4 count/min

So the age of the wood is equal to 2 half-lives, which is:

$t=2t_{1/2}=2(5700)=11,400 y$
