Cobalt-60 has a half life of 5.25 years. If you started with a 40 gram sample of pure cobalt-60, how many grams of cobalt-60 wou

ld remain after 10.5 years?

s2008m [1.1K]2 years ago

6 0

Answer:

10 grams

Explanation:

A = A₀ (½)^(t / T)

A = 40 (½)^(10.5 / 5.25)

A = 40 (½)^2

A = 40 · ¼

A = 10

A tomato of mass 0.18 kg is dropped from a tall bridge. If the tomato has a speed of 11 m/s just before it hits the ground, what

kondor19780726 [428]

The kinetic energy of the tomato is :

K.E = 1/2 mv^2

K.E = 1/2 x 0.18 kg x 11 m/S^2

K.E = 0.99

What is the difference between beta plus and minus

Minchanka [31]

Beta decay is very complex phenomena in natural radioactive decay. There are 3 types of Beta decay.

B+ decay (Beta plus or Beta positive or positron decay):

is the conversion of a proton into a neutron plus a positron and an electron neutrino.

B- decay (Beta negative or Beta nought):

is the conversion of a neutron into a proton plus an electron and a electron antineutrino.

Note: a positron is the a positive electron or the antiparticle of the electron.

The maximum wavelength an electromagnetic wave can have and still eject an electron from a copper surface is 264 nm .What is the

Tamiku [17]

Answer:

4.71 eV

Explanation:

For an electromagnetic wave with wavelength

$\lambda=264 nm = 2.64\cdot 10^{-7} m$

the energy of the photons in the wave is given by

$E=\frac{hc}{\lambda}=\frac{(6.63\cdot 10^{-34}Js)(3\cdot 10^8 m/s)}{2.64\cdot 10^{-7}m}=7.53\cdot 10^{-19} J$

where h is the Planck constant and c the speed of light. Therefore, this is the minimum energy that a photon should have in order to extract a photoelectron from the copper surface.

The work function of a metal is the minimum energy required by the incident light in order to extract photoelectrons from the metal's surface. Therefore, the work function corresponds to the energy we found previously. By converting it into electronvolts, we find:

$E=\frac{7.53\cdot 10^{-19} J}{1.6\cdot 10^{-19} J/eV}=4.71 eV$
