A 12.65 g sample of a radioactive substance is allowed to decay for 17.22 min. At that time, the sample weighed 3.115 g. What is

the half-life for this substance?

Answer:

8.61 min

Explanation:

original mass= 12.65

first half life = 12.65/2 = 6.325

second half life = 6.325/2 = 3.1625

Note : 3.1625 is the closest to the value (3.115) given so we work with it

total time for decay =17.22

therefore two decays = 17.22/2= 8.61

Describe the proton gradient generated by the electron transport chain
Oksana_A [137]

Answer:

The proton gradient produced by proton pumping during the electron transport chain is used to synthesize ATP. Protons flow down their concentration gradient into the matrix through the membrane protein ATP synthase, causing it to spin (like a water wheel) and catalyze conversion of ADP to ATP.

A car traveling with constant speed travels 150 km in 7200s what is the speed of the car
Oksana_A [137]
Velocity is distance/time 

so 150/7200=.0208km/s 

unless you have to convert it to miles or something else. but use the formula!

A uniform cylindrical grindstone has a mass of 10 kg and a radius of 12 cm. (a) What is the rotational kinetic energy of the gri
Drupady [299]

Answer:

a) KE = 888.26J

b) N = 294.5 turns

Explanation:

For the kinetic energy:

KE = I/2*\omega_o^2

The inertia is:

I=m/2*R^2=0.072kg.m^2

So, the kinetic energy will be:

KE = 888.26J

Now, friction force is:

Ff = μ*N = 0.80*5N = 4N

The energy balance would be:

Kf - Ko = Wf    where Kf=0;   Ko = 888.26J;  and Wf is the work done by friction force.

Wf = -Ff*d = -Ff*N*2*π*R   where N is the amount of turns it gives.

Replacing these values into the energy balance:

0-888.26=-4*N*2*π*0.12

-888.26=-0.96*π*N

N=294.5 turns

Find the density of seawater at a depth where the pressure is 500 atm if the density at the surface is 1100 kg/m^3 . Seawater ha
mixer [17]

The density of seawater at a depth where the pressure is 500 atm is 1124kg/m^3

Explanation:

The relationship between bulk modulus and pressure is the following:

B=\rho_0 \frac{\Delta p}{\Delta \rho}

where

B is the bulk modulus

\rho_0 is the density at surface

\Delta p is the variation of pressure

\Delta \rho is the variation of density

In this problem, we have:

B=2.3\cdot 10^9 N/m^2 is the bulk modulus

\rho_0 =1100 kg/m^3

\Delta p = p-p_0 = 500 atm - 1 atm = 499 atm = 5.05\cdot 10^7 Pa is the change in pressure with respect to the surface (the pressure at the surface is 1 atm)

Therefore, we can find the density of the water where the pressure is 500 atm as follows:

\rho = \rho_0 + \Delta \rho = \rho_0+\frac{\rho_0 \Delta p}{B}=\rho_0 (1+\frac{\Delta p}{B})=(1100)(1+\frac{5.05\cdot 10^7}{2.3\cdot 10^9})=1124kg/m^3
