Answer:

t = 17199 years

Explanation:

given,

mass of sample = 1.09 Kg

Activity of living material   = 15 decays / min /g

Activity of living material   = 15 x 1000 decays /min /kg

Activity of living material per 1.09 kg A = 1.09 x 15 x 1000 decays / min

Activity of after time t is A ' = 2020

half life = 57300 years

desegregation constant

λ = 0.693 / 5700

A'= A e^{-\lambda\ t}

A'= 1.09 \times 15 \times 1000 e^{-\lambda\ t}

2020= 1.09 \times 15 \times 1000 e^{-\dfrac{0.693}{5700}\times t}

0.124=e^{-\dfrac{0.693}{5700}\times t}

taking ln both side

\dfrac{0.693}{5700}\times t = 2.09

t = 17199 years

A radio have a wavelength of 0.3m and travels at a speed of 300,000,000 m/s. What is the frequency of this wave?​
Ilya [14]

The frequency of the wave is 1\cdot 10^9 Hz

Explanation:

The frequency, the wavelength and the speed of a wave are related by the following equation:

c=f \lambda

where

c is the speed of the wave

f is the frequency

\lambda is the wavelength

For the radio wave in this problem,

\lambda = 0.3 m

c=300,000,000 m/s = 3\cdot 10^8 m/s

Therefore, the frequency is:

f=\frac{c}{\lambda}=\frac{3\cdot 10^8}{0.3}=1\cdot 10^9 Hz

What is the KE if a 10kg mass traveling at 5 m/s
11111nata11111 [884]

Answer: KE = 25 J

Explanation: You must use the formula

KE = 1/2 m v²

to solve this problem.

KE = 1/2 (10 Kg) (5 m/s)

KE = 1/2 (50 kgm/s)

KE = 25 J

Some of the energy the car gained as it was pulled was lost because of heat from friction. The rest of the energy was transforme
Lisa [10]

Answer:

454,320 joules

Explanation:

The work done on an object is equal to its change in kinetic energy: Change in KE = F × d.

Plug the values for F and d into the formula and solve:

Change in KE = 2,524 × 180

= 454,320 joules

The roller coaster gains 454,320 joules of energy from the work done on it by the chain.
