T = half life of cobalt-60 = 5.3 years

λ = decay constant for cobalt-60 = ?

decay constant is given as

λ = 0.693/T

inserting the values

λ = 0.693/5.3 = 0.131

N₀ = initial amount of cobalt-60 = 10 g

t = time of decay = 21.2 years

N = final amount of cobalt-60 after time "t"

final amount of cobalt-60 after time "t" is given as

N = N₀ e^{-\lambda t}

inserting the values

N = 10 e^{-(0.131) (21.2)}

N = 10 e^{-(0.131) (21.2)}

N = 10 x 0.0622 g

N = 0.63 g

hence

C. 0.63 g

What circuit that has only one path for the<br> current to follow?
Alekssandra [29.7K]

Answer:

Series circuit

Explanation:

By definition series circuit is a closed circuit in which the flow of electric current follows only one path.

In a simple electrical circuit (which is a series circuit) where electric cell is the source of power, each component is connected in such a way that there is only one pathway current flows from the positive terminal(+) round to the negative terminal(-) via the external circuit.

Current having only one pathway to flow means that when one of the components is removed, there will be no current flow.

When light passes through sequential interfaces, there may be a change of phase upon reflection at each interface.
Lena [83]

That's true.

I have a hunch that there definitely IS a change of phase at every reflection.

Un montañero de 65kg de masa ha ascendido a la cima del Everest, la montaña más alta del mundo de 8848m de altura sobre el nivel
andrew-mc [135]

Answer:

El trabajo realizado para subir los últimos 500 metros es 318727,5 joules.

Explanation:

Por la definición de trabajo sabemos que el montañero debió contrarrestar trabajo causado por la gravedad terrestre. Si asumimos que el cambio de la altura es muy pequeño en comparación con el radio del planeta (6371 kilómetros vs. 0,5 kilómetros), entonces podemos considerar que la aceleración gravitacional es constante y la ecuación de trabajo (\Delta W), medido en joules, que reducida a:

\Delta W = m\cdot g\cdot \Delta z (1)

Donde:

m - Masa del montañero, medido en kilogramos.

g - Aceleración gravitacional, medida en metros por segundo al cuadrado.

\Delta z - Distancia vertical de ascenso del montañero, medida en metros.

Si tenemos que m = 65\,kg, g = 9,807\,\frac{m}{s^{2}} y \Delta z = 500\,m, entonces el trabajo realizado por el montañero para subir es:

\Delta W = (65\,kg)\cdot \left(9,807\,\frac{m}{s^{2}} \right)\cdot (500\,m)

\Delta W = 318727,5\,J

El trabajo realizado para subir los últimos 500 metros es 318727,5 joules.
