At a distance of 10 cm from a presumably isotropic, radioactive source, a pair of students measure 55 cps (cps = counts per seco

nd). On average, how many counts per second do you expect at a distance of 22 cm?

With an isotropic source, you can think on the radiation like a expanding sphere, where you will measure the same cps in any point while you keep the same distance to the source, ence the radius of the sphere remains constant. So, you know that the relation depends on the radius, also, when the sphere grows, the radiation in it expands in more surface, ence the density of particles will decrease, particularly, like \frac{1}{r^{2} }

then, in 15cm you will have 55cps = A/(10*10) where A is the "intensity of the source" whit this you can know the value of A = 55cps*100cm^{2}.

then, for 22cm, Y = 55cps*100/(22*22) = 20.66 cps.

The plan of a patio deck is shown at the right. The scale is 2 inches: 6 feet. What are the length and width of the deck
yanalaym [24]

Answer:

5in.=15ft. 2in.=6ft.

Step-by-step explanation:

What you have to do is translate 6ft. into inches which is 72in. Then you divide that by 2in. From that you get 36in. You then take that 36in. and multiply it by the 5in for the length. from that you get 180in. You divide the 180in. by 12 to turn your inches into feet and you end up with 15ft.

I hope this helps.

A recipe that makes 8 servings calls for 3/5 cup of flour. Jeff modifies the recipe so that it can serve 10. How many cups of fl
Blababa [14]
8 goes with 3/5: 10 goes with n     (n being the number of cups)

\frac{8}{3/5}  =  \frac{10}{n}

Use cross products and we get  8n = 6
Now divide by 8
<u>8n</u>  = <u>6
</u><u />8       8

n= 6/8 or 3/4 of a cup of flour.
