What is the half-life of this radioactive isotope that decreases to one-fourth its original amount in 18 months?

Physics
1 answer:
o-na [289]3 years ago
4 0
The half-life of this radioactive isotope is 9 months for it decreases to one-fourth its original amount in 18 months. Half-life means a certain length of time after which half of the amount of radioactive element has decayed.
Therefore, the half-life of this particular isotope is 18 months. After 18 months the isotope was at one-half, then another 18 months, the isotope was at one-fourth, which is 9 months where one-fourth is one-half of one half.

a block measures 3.5 cm long 2.8 cm wide and 1.6 cm deep. the density of the block 2.5 g/cm. calculate the volume of the block.
luda_lava [24]
Volume of a block can be found by: length × width × height. So:

3.5cm × 2.8cm × 1.6cm = 15.68cm^3

A 8.8 cm diameter circular loop of wire is in a 1.04 T magnetic field. The loop is removed from the field in 0.30 s . Assume tha
denis23 [38]

Answer:

0.021 V

Explanation:

The average induced emf (E) can be calculated usgin the Faraday's Law:

E = - \frac{N*\Delta \phi}{\Delta t}  

<u>Where:</u>

<em>N = is the number of turns = 1   </em>

<em>ΔΦ = ΔB*A                                            </em>

<em>Δt = is the time = 0.3 s   </em>

<em>A = is the loop of wire area = πr² = πd²/4 </em>

<em>ΔB: is the magnetic field = (0 - 1.04) T                     </em>

Hence the average induced emf is:

E = - \frac{\Delta B*A}{\Delta t} = - \frac{(0- 1.04 T) \pi (0.088 m)^{2}}{4*0.3 s} = 0.021 V                      

Therefore, the average induced emf is 0.021 V.

I hope it helps you!

The ability of your joints and muscles to move in their full range of motion is called
Studentka2010 [4]

Answer:

Dynamic flexibility

Explanation:

Dynamic flexibility can be generally defined as the ability of the body muscles and joints to move in full range of motion. High flexibility in these joints and muscles leads to the decreasing pain and injury in different parts of the body.

Proper warm up exercises are needed to be carried out that involves both the combination of controlling movements and stretching of the body, and this directly enhances the dynamic flexibility of the body.

The athletes and sports persons possesses a good dynamic flexibility of their body as they carry our different types of body exercises.

There are a variety of waves from light waves to mechanical waves. Waves can exhibit different effects like the Doppler Effect.

All light waves behave in a similar manner. They either get  transmitted, reflected, absorbed, refracted, polarized, diffracted, or scattered based off of the composition of the object and the wavelength of the light.

According to Wikipedia, “One important property of mechanical waves is that their amplitudes are measured in an unusual way, displacement divided by (reduced) wavelength. When this gets comparable to unity, significant nonlinear effects such as harmonic generation may occur, and, if large enough, may result in chaotic effects.” Mechanical waves are chaotic and its “amplitudes” are measured unusually.

Diffraction is when light bends around objects and spread after passing out through small openings. “Diffraction occurs with all waves, including sound waves, water waves, and electromagnetic waves such as light that the eye can see.”-Wikipedia. Here is the formula to Diffraction: <em>d </em>sin <em>θ </em>= <em>nλ</em>

Doppler effect can occur for any type of wave like sound or water waves. An example of this is when we hear a police car with its sirens on, coming towards us. The closer you are to the police car, the higher the wavelength, but the farther away you are, the lower the wavelength.
