<span>Cobalt-60 is undergoing a radioactivity decay.

The formula of the decay is n=N(1/2)</span>∧(T/t).
<span>Where N </span>⇒ original mass of cobalt
<span>           n </span>⇒ 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 common misconception is that an object always moves when a force acts on it. Why is this statement incorrect? Explain the conc
dsp73

Answer:

The statement is incorrect because, a force acting on an object does not necessarily have to produce motion.

People have the misconception that when a force acts on an object it always produces motion

Explanation:

The statement is incorrect because, a force acting on an object does not necessarily have to produce motion. It could be in static equilibrium where the net force is zero and produces not motion. The body could also be in dynamic equilibrium when  no net force acts on it moving at a constant velocity. But here we are concerned with static equilibrium since the body does not move at all.

People have the misconception that when a force acts on an object it always produces motion and, we have seen from the above tat its not always true.

1) 9.26 cm

Explanation:

The focal length of a plane mirror is virtually infinite. Considering the lens equation,

\frac{1}{f}=\frac{1}{p}+\frac{1}{q}

where f is the focal length, p is the object distance, q the image distance. If we replace f with infinity, we get

q=-p

The magnification equation states that

y' = -\frac{q}{p}y

where y is the size of the object and y' the size of the image. Substituting q=-p, we get

y'=y

this means that the image produced by a plane mirror is always:

- Upright (y' is positive)

- The same size as the object

In this case, we have a book of height 9.26 cm (y=9.26 cm). This means that the magnitude of the size of the image (y') will be 9.26 cm as well.

2) 22.7 cm

As we said before, due to the infinite focal length of a plane mirror,

q=-p

this means that the image produced by a plane mirror is always:

- Virtual (because q is negative)

- At the same distance from the mirror as the object

In this case, we have a book placed at 22.7 cm from the mirror (p=22.7 cm). This means that the magnitude of the distance of the image from the mirror (q) will be 22.7 cm as well.

3) 1.60 m/s

We said previously that the image produced by a plane mirror is always at the same distance from the mirror as the real object. This implies that whenever we move the object toward/away from the mirror, the distance p will alway remain equal to the distance q. But this also means that the object and the distance are moving toward/away from the mirror at the same speed.

Therefore, since in this case the person is moving away from the mirror at 1.60 m/s, the image will also move away at a speed of 1.60 m/s.

Energy that flows from somthing with a higher temperature to something with a lower
spayn [35]

Answer:

Heat Transfer

Explanation:

This is called heat transfer. Heat transfer is the process in which energy flows from a matter that is higher in heat to a matter that is cooler, until the two matters reach the same temperature.

A wave with a frequency of 325 Hz. is travelling at a speed of 125 m/s. What is the wavelength of this wave?
ollegr [7]

Answer:

0.385 meters

Explanation:

Just remember this very simple equation:

velocity=(wavelength)*(frequency)

I always remember it as "Velma is Waving Frantically"

So, 125=(wavelength)*(325)

Therefore, wavelength=0.385 meters!

Hope this helped!

When a car crashes, do you think its speed can make a difference in the<br> amount of damage done?
Oduvanchick [21]

Answer:

Yes

Explanation:

An increased speed will result in an increased amount of energy, so when it crashes some of that energy will bounce back and crumple the car.
