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 fish inside the water 12cm below the surface looking up through the water sees the outside world contained in a circular horiz
serg [7]

Answer:

13.6 cm

Explanation:

From Snell's law:

n₁ sin θ₁ = n₂ sin θ₂

In the air, n₁ = 1, and light from the horizon forms a 90° angle with the vertical, so sin θ₁ = sin 90° = 1.

Given n₂ = 4/3:

1 = 4/3 sin θ

sin θ = 3/4

If x is the radius of the circle, then sin θ is:

sin θ = x / √(x² + 12²)

sin θ = x / √(x² + 144)

Substituting:

3/4 = x / √(x² + 144)

9/16 = x² / (x² + 144)

9/16 x² + 81 = x²

81 = 7/16 x²

x ≈ 13.6

Now find the components NxNxN_x and NyNyN_y of N⃗ N→N_vec in the tilted coordinate system of Part B. Express your answer in term
MArishka [77]

Answer:

N_{y} =NcosФ,

N_{x} =-Nsin Ф

Explanation:

Now find the components NxNxN_x and NyNyN_y of N⃗ N→N_vec in the tilted coordinate system of Part B. Express your answer in terms of the length of the vector NNN and the angle θθtheta, with the components separated by a comma.

Vectors are quantities that  have both magnitude and direction while scalar quantities have only magnitude but no direction.

This a vector quantity

from the diagram the horizontal component of the length of the vector will be

N_{y} =NcosФ

the vertical component will be

N_{x} =-Nsin Ф

this is in the opposite direction because the x can be extrapolated to the negative axis
