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

A uniform plank of length 5.0 m and weight 225 n rests horizontally on two supports, with 1.1 m of the plank hanging over the ri
likoan [24]
<span>0.7 meters from the support, or 0.4 meters from the end of the board. Another way of describing the problem is to have the 450 N person move so that the center of mass of the plank and person system is on the second support. So let's first determine how far from that support the center of mass of the plank is. We can model the plank as a point mass source that's 2.5 meters from either end. So that point mass is 2.5-1.1 = 1.4 meters from the pivot. So let's multiply that radius by the mass, getting: 1.4 m * 225 N = 315 Nm Now the person will be at just the tipping point when their mass multiplied by the distance equal 315. So let's do the division. 315 Nm / 450 N = 0.7 m So the person will be at the tipping point when he's 0.7 meter from the support, or 1.1 - 0.7 = 0.4 meters from the end of the board.</span>

A string with tension Ft= 10 N, with one end pinned and the other end free, is used to produce a wave supplied by a driving freq
Hitman42 [59]

To solve the problem it is necessary to apply the theory of sine waves. The wavelength λ of a sinusoidal waveform traveling at constant speed v is given by

\lambda = \frac{v}{f}

Where,

v= velocity

f = frequency

Re-arrange to find v, we have

v = f\lambda

PART A ) Replacing with our values we have,

v = (10*10^3)(0.01)

v = 100m/s

PART B) In the case of the period we know that it is defined as a function of frequency as,

T= \frac{1}{f}

That is to say that using the previously given values we have that the period in seconds is,

T=1*10^{-4}s

PART C) Finally the transverse wave velocity is given by,

v=\sqrt{\frac{T}{\mu}}

Where,

T= Period

\mu = Linear mass density

Re-arrange to find \mu,

\mu = \frac{T}{v^2}

\mu = \frac{1*10^{-4}}{100^2}

\mu = 1*10^{-8}kg/m

What is the average speed of the bus which covers 120 km in 3 hours is?
KonstantinChe [14]

40 km/hr

Speed = Distance / Time = 120/3 = 40 km/hr

Speed is defined as the rate of change of distance with time. It has the dimension of distance by time. Thus, the SI unit of speed is given as the combination of the basic unit of distance and the basic unit of Time. Thus, the SI unit of speed is metre per second.Speed is a scalar quantity. As a result, it just has magnitude and no definite direction.Velocity and agility: the two kinds of speed.Speed of a moving object depends on two factors–distance moved and time taken.
