If we start with 1.000 g of cobalt-60, 0.675 g will remain after 3.00 yr. this means that the of is _____

8 0

Cobalt-60 is undergoing a radioactivity decay.

The formula of the decay is n=N(1/2)∧(T/t).
Where N ⇒ original mass of cobalt
 n ⇒ remaining mass of cobalt after 3 years
T ⇒ decaying period
t ⇒ half-life of cobalt.

So,
0.675 = 1 × 0.5∧(3/t)
log 0.675 = log 0.5∧(3/t)
3/t = log 0.675 ÷log 0.5
3/t= 0.567

t = 3÷0.567
= 5.290626524

the half-life of Cobalt-60 is 5.29 years.

A wave travelling 140 m/sec with a wavelength of 4.0 m has what frequency? _______________Meters / Hz / seconds

valentina_108 [34]

Answer:

The frequency of a wave is 35 Hz.

Explanation:

Speed of a wave is 140 m/s

Wavelength of a wave is 4 m

It is required to find the frequency. The relation between frequency, speed and the wavelength of a wave is given by :

$v=f\lambda$

f is frequency

$f=\dfrac{v}{\lambda}\\\\f=\dfrac{140\ m/s}{4\ m}\\\\f=35\ Hz$

So, the frequency of a wave is 35 Hz.

An apple is dropped from the top of a building and hits the ground 2 seconds later. How tall is the building?

Ket [755]

Hello! :)

$\large\boxed{19.6 m}$

Use the kinematic equation below to solve for the height of the building:

$d = \frac{1}{2} at^{2}$

Where:

d = distance, or height of the building (m)

a = acceleration due to gravity (9.8 m/s²)

t = time (seconds)

Plug in the given values into the equation:

$d = \frac{1}{2} (9.8)2^{2}\\\\d = \frac{1}{2} (39.2)\\\\d = 19.6 m$

Curtis, a student in our class, makes the following statement: The puck reached a slightly higher location on the ramp than I pr

Sindrei [870]

Answer and Explanation: No, the explanation is not plausible. The puck sliding on the ice is an example of the Principle of Conservation of Energy, which can be enunciated as "total energy of a system is constant. It can be changed or transferred but the total is always the same".

When a player hit the pluck, it starts to move, gaining kinetic energy (K). As it goes up a ramp, kinetic energy decreases and potential energy (P) increases until it reaches its maximum. When potential energy is maximum, kinetic energy is zero and vice-versa.

So, at the beginning of the movement the puck only has kinetic energy. At the end, it gains potential energy until its maximum.

The representation is as followed:

$K_{i}+P_{i}=K_{f}+P_{f}$

$K_{i}+0=0+P_{f}$

$\frac{1}{2}mv^{2} = mgh$

As we noticed, mass of the object can be cancelled from the equation, making height be:

$h=\frac{v^{2}}{2g}$

So, the height the puck reaches depends on velocity and acceleration due to gravity, not mass of the puck.
