You have a radioactive sample with a half-life of 1 hour. At t = 1 hour, a Geiger counter measures its radiation at 40 counts/mi

nute. At t = 4 hours, it measures 5 counts/minute. Fill in the table for the activity at the unknown times (in counts/minute).

Answer:

Explanation:

Given that, .

The half-life of a radioactive element is

t½ = 1 hr.

At the first hour, the radioactive element has 40 counts/minute

After 4 hours it has 5 counts/minute

So,

We want to filled the table.

0 hours, I.e at the start

40 counts/mins × 2 = 80 counts / mis

First half-life (first hour) is

40 counts/mins

Second half-life (second hour)

40 counts/mins × ½ = 20 counts/mins

Third half-life (third hour)

40 counts/mins × ¼ = 10 counts / mins

Fourth half life (fourth hour)

40 counts/mins × ⅛ = 5 counts / mins

So, the table is

Time........................Geiger Counter Rate

0 hours.................... 80 counts / minutes

1 hour........................ 40 counts / minutes

2 hours..................... 20 counts / minutes

3 hours..................... 10counts / minutes

4 hours...................... 5 counts / minute

A turntable that spins at a constant 80.0 rpmrpm takes 3.50 ss to reach this angular speed after it is turned on. Find its angul
Veronika [31]

Answer:

The angular acceleration is <u>2.39 rad/s²</u>.

The number of degrees it rotates is <u>841.68 degrees</u>.

Explanation:

Given:

Initial angular speed (ω₀) = 0 rad/s

Final angular speed in rpm (N) = 80.0 rpm

Time taken (t) = 3.50 s

First, let us determine the final angular speed in radians per second.

We know that,

\omega=\frac{2\pi N}{60}\ rad/s

Plug in the values and find the final angular speed, 'ω'. This gives,

\omega=\frac{2\pi\times 80.0}{60}=8.38\ rad/s

Now, using equation of motion for rotational motion, we have:

\omega=\omega_0+\alpha t\\\\\alpha\to angular\ acceleration

Plug in the given values and solve for α. This gives,

8.38=0+\alpha \times 3.50\\\\\alpha=\frac{8.38}{3.50}=2.39\ rad/s^2

Therefore, the angular acceleration is 2.39 rad/s².

Now, again using rotational equation of motion relating angular displacement, we have:

\omega^2=\omega_0^2+2\alpha\theta\\\\\theta=\frac{\omega^2-\omega_0^2}{2\alpha }

Plug in the given values and solve for 'θ'. This gives,

\theta=\frac{(8.38)^2-0}{2\times 2.39}\\\\\theta=\frac{70.2244}{4.78}=14.69\ rad

Convert radians to degrees using the conversion factor. This gives,

π radians = 180°

So, 1 radian =( 180 ÷ π ) degrees

Therefore, 14.69\ rad=14.69\times (\frac{180}{\pi})=841.68^\circ

So, the number of degrees it rotates is 841.68 degrees.

A typical human consumes 2500 Kcal of energy during a day. This is the equivalent to 10,450,000 J! Say you decided to run stairs
defon

Answer:

2940.1 joules  would you burn in climbing stairs all day.

Explanation:

Work = W = F\times d

going up stairs  would be against force of gravity

W = mgh

where h is the  height

the question is not complete because we need speed or distance

h =  v \times t

so assuming 1 step per second

h = 86,400 steps  \times 7inchs/step \times 0.0254 m/inch

h = 15362 m

so from this    

W = 800 N \times 15362

   = 12289600 J  

that means YOU  need 12289600 J to walk 1 step per second all day

divide that by 4180 J /Kcal  

Kcal =  \frac{W}{(J/Kcal)}

       = \frac{12289600}{4180}

       = 2940.1 Kcal

if you ran faster you would use more energy  2 steps per second would mean 5880 Kcal.

erma4kov [3.2K]

Answer:

h = 269.6 m

Explanation:

Pressure at the bottom of the building and at the top of the building must be related as

P_{top} = P_{bottom} - \rho g h

P_{top} = 730 mm Hg

P_{bottom} = 755 mm Hg

now we will have

(755 \times 10^{-3})(13.6 \times 10^3)(9.81) = P_{bottom}

P_{bottom} = 1.007 \times 10^5 Pa

P_{top} = (730\times 10^{-3})(13.6 \times 10^3)(9.81)

P_{top} = 0.974 \times 10^5

now we have

(1.007 - 0.974)\times 10^5 = 1.25 (9.81) h

h = 269.6 m
