The amount left of a given substance can be calculated through the equation,
                                              A = (A0) x 0.5^n/h
From the given scenario, 
                                           A/A0 = 0.75 = 0.5*(60/h)
The value of h from the equation is 144.565 minutes.

A spring with force constant of 59 N/m is compressed by 1.3 cm in a hockey game machine. The compressed spring is used to accele
Furkat [3]

Answer:

The puck moves a vertical height of 2.6 cm before stopping

Explanation:

As the puck is accelerated by the spring, the kinetic energy of the puck equals the elastic potential energy of the spring.

So, 1/2mv² = 1/2kx² where m = mass of puck = 39.2 g = 0.0392 g, v = velocity of puck, k = spring constant = 59 N/m and x = compression of spring = 1.3 cm = 0.013 cm.

Now, since the puck has an initial velocity, v before it slides up the inclined surface, its loss in kinetic energy equals its gain in potential energy before it stops. So

1/2mv² = mgh where h = vertical height puck moves and g = acceleration due to gravity = 9.8 m/s².

Substituting the kinetic energy of the puck for the potential energy of the spring, we have

1/2kx² = mgh

h = kx²/2mg

= 59 N/m × (0.013 m)²/(0.0392 kg × 9.8 m/s²)

= 0.009971 Nm/0.38416 N

= 0.0259 m

= 2.59 cm

≅ 2.6 cm

So the puck moves a vertical height of 2.6 cm before stopping

alekssr [168]

Answer:the

8/9 h

Explanation:

Height  =   1/2 a T^2     now change to T/3

 now height = 1/2 a (T/3)^2   =<u> 1/9</u>  1/2 a T^2     <===== it is 1/9 of the way down   or   8/9 h

Space debris left from old satellites and their launchers is becoming a hazard to other satellites. (a) Calculate the speed of a
Pie

Answer:

Part a)

v = 7407.1 m/s

Part b)

v_{rel} = 1.05 \times 10^4 m/s

Explanation:

Part a)

As we know that orbital velocity at certain height from the surface of Earth is given as

v = \sqrt{\frac{GM}{R+h}}

here we know that

M = 5.98 \times 10^{24} kg

R = 6.37 \times 10^6 m

h = 900 km = 9.0 \times 10^5 m

now we have

v = \sqrt{\frac{(6.67 \times 10^{-11})(5.98 \times 10^{24})}{6.37 \times 10^6 + 9.0 \times 10^5}}

v = 7407.1 m/s

Part b)

When a loose rivet is moving in same orbit but at 90 degree with the previous orbit path then in that case the relative speed of the rivet with respect to the satellite is given as

v_{rel} = \sqrt{2} v

v_{rel} = 1.05 \times 10^4 m/s
