That's right, the correct answer is
<span>A) The isotopes have a long half-life and only remain radioactive for a long time period

The half life of an isotope is the time it takes for the amount of the sample to reduce to half of its initial value. If an isotope has a long half-life, it means it takes a long time to reduce down to a significant level, so it will remain radioactive for a long time period.</span>

Queremos un cilindro de simple efecto que utilice en su funcionamiento un volumen de aire a presión atmosférica de 13,122 litros
zhuklara [117]

Answer:

1) El diámetro es de aproximadamente 913,987 cm.

2) La fuerza del cilindro es 5576850 kgf

Explanation:

1) Los parámetros dados son;

El volumen del aire = 13,122 litros = 13122000 cm³

La presión de trabajo = 8.5 kgf / cm²

La longitud del cilindro = 20 cm.

Por lo tanto, tenemos;

El área de la base del cilindro = π · r² = 13122000 cm³ / (20 cm) = 656100 cm²

r = √ (656100 / π) ≈ 456,994 cm

El diámetro = 2 × r ≈ 2 × 456.994 ≈ 913.987 cm

El diámetro ≈ 913,987 cm

2) La fuerza del cilindro = El área de la base del cilindro × La presión de trabajo

∴ La fuerza del cilindro = 656100 cm² × 8.5 kgf / cm² = 5576850 kgf

La fuerza del cilindro = 5576850 kgf

Here it is an application of Newton's III law

as we know by Newton's III law that every action has equal and opposite reaction

So here as we know that two boys jumps off the boat with different forces

from front side of the boat the boy jumps off with force 45 N which means as per Newton's III law if boy has a force of 45 N in forward direction then he must apply a reaction force on the boat in reverse direction of same magnitude

So boat must have an opposite force on front end with magnitude 45 N

Now similar way we can say

from back side of the boat the boy jumps off with force 60 N which means as per Newton's III law if boy has a force of 60 N in backward direction then he must apply a reaction force on the boat in reverse direction of same magnitude

So boat must have an opposite force on front end with magnitude 60 N

So here net force due to both jump on the boat is given by

F_{net} = F_1 - F_2

F_{net} = 60 - 45

F_{net} = 15 N

so boat will have net force F = 15 N in forward direction due to both jumps

Please help on this one?
kupik [55]

Answer: A)30V. First find the current of the circuit. I=V/R(total resistance). So I=60/120=0.5. Now to find voltage drop in R3 use ohms law as given. V(of 3)=(0.5)(60)=30V
