Answer: 3.125g

Explanation: This is a type of radioactive decay and all the radioactive process follow first order kinetics.

Half life is the time required to decompose half of the reactants. thus after every half life the reactant will decompose to half of its present value.

Now, to calculate the number of half lives, we use the formula:

a=\frac{a_o}{2^n}

where,

a = amount of reactant left after n-half lives = ?

a_o =Let Initial amount of the reactant = 100 g

n = number of half lives

a=\frac{100}{2^5}

a=3.125g

After five half-lives, there will be

           (1/2) · (1/2) · (1/2) · (1/2) · (1/2)  =  1/32  =  3.125%

of the original material remaining.

A plane designed for vertical takeoff has a mass of 7.5 × 103 kg. Find the net work done on the plane as it accelerates upward a
vovangra [49]

Answer:

Net work done, W=3.08\times 10^5\ J      

Explanation:

It is given that,

Mass of the plane, m=7.5\times 10^3\ kg  

Acceleration of the plane, a=1.2\ m/s^2 (upwards)

Distance covered, d = 34.3 m

We need to find the net work done on the plane as it accelerates upward. The product of force and the distance covered is equal to work done. It is given by :

W=F\times d

W=m\times a\times d

W=7.5\times 10^3\ kg \times 1.2\ m/s^2 \times 34.3\ m

W = 308700 J

or

W=3.08\times 10^5\ J

So, the net work done on the plane is 3.08\times 10^5\ J. Hence, this is the required solution.

1. How does the acceleration compare for an object in free fall when an it is thrown up versus thrown down? a.The acceleration i
alexgriva [62]

Answer:

1) Option b. The acceleration is positive when it is thrown up and negative when it is thrown down.

2) Option d. Both B & C

Explanation:

Question 1)

Acceleration is defined as the rate of change of velocity with respect to time.

a=\frac{v_{f}-v_{i}}{t}

When an object is thrown up, its velocity is maximum at the initial point and decreases as the object moves up. Since, the velocity is decreasing, the acceleration will be negative. This can also be proven from the formula mentioned above. When the object is thrown up, initial velocity(vi) is maximum and the final velocity (v_f) is zero, as the object rests for a very tiny moment at its maximum point. This will give a negative numerator and hence the value of acceleration will be negative.

When an object is thrown down, its velocity is zero at the start of the motion and increases as the object falls down. Since, the velocity is increasing in this case, the acceleration will be positive.

Therefore, Option b, gives the correct answer.

Question 2)

When an object falls freely, it falls under the action of gravity under a constant acceleration known as gravitation acceleration. Gravitational acceleration is represented by g and is equal to 9.8 m/s².

Since, the textbook is falling freely, its acceleration will be constant i.e. equal to gravitational acceleration.

When the object falls down, with every second its velocity increases. The velocity in minimum(zero) at the start and is maximum just before the object hits the ground.

So, when the textbook is dropped, it will fall with constant acceleration and its velocity will be increasing.

Therefore, for this question, Both B and C are correct.
