Cobaltâ’60 is a radioactive isotope used to treat cancers of the brain and other tissues. A gamma ray emitted by an atom of this

isotope has an energy of 4.70 MeV (million electron volts; 1 eV = 1.602 Ă— 10â’19 J). What is the frequency (in Hz) and the wavelength (in m) of this gamma ray? Enter your answers in scientific notation.

Energy of gamma rays is given by equation

E = h\nu

here we know that

h = Planck's constant

\nu = frequency

now energy is given as

E = 4.70 MeV = 4.70 \times 10^6 \times 1.6 \times 10^{-19}

E = 7.52 \times 10^{-13} J

now by above equation

E = h\nu

7.52 \times 10^{-13} = 6.6 \times 10^{-34} \nu

\nu = 1.14 \times 10^{21} Hz

now for wavelength we can say

\lambda = \frac{c}{\nu}

\lambda = \frac{3\times 10^8}{1.14 \times 10^{21}}

\lambda = 2.63 \times 10^{-13} m

What is a conservative force?
almond37 [142]

Answer:

A conservative force is a force with the property that the total work done in moving a particle between two points is independent of the path taken Equivalently if a particle travels in a closed loop the total work done by a conservative force is zero

A very long conducting cylinder (length L) of radius R(R<R and (b)r
mina [271]

Answer:

Explanation:

We have to find electric potential V at a distance r.

a) For r>R,

The electric field in the cylinder is given by

E.A equating it to the other electric field given by

б.A/ε₀

Here the area of cylinder is given by= 2*3.14*r*L

While for the outside, the area= 2*3.14*R*L

Equating both, we get

E= бR/rε₀

Now,

The potential difference is given as:

ΔV= -бR/rε₀ and integrating right side with respect to dr under limits r and R.

Where ΔV= V₀-V

So solving we get

V₀=V-бR/ε₀ln (r/R)

b) For r<R i.e. inside the cylinder

There will be no electric field produced as E=0

So ultimately Vin= V

c) V=0 at r= infinity.

0.45 kg soccer ball changes its velocity by 20.0 m/s due to a force applied to it in 0.10 seconds. What force was necessary for
Paladinen [302]

Assuming the accleration applied was constant, we have

v=v_0+at\implies v_0+20.0\,\dfrac{\mathrm m}{\mathrm s}=v_0+a(0.10\,\mathrm s)

\implies20.0\,\dfrac{\mathrm m}{\mathrm s}=a(0.10\,\mathrm s)

\implies a=200\,\dfrac{\mathrm m}{\mathrm s^2}

Then the force applied to the ball is given by

F=ma=(0.45\,\mathrm{kg})\left(200\,\dfrac{\mathrm m}{\mathrm s^2}\right)

\implies F=90\,\dfrac{\mathrm{kg}\,\mathrm m}{\mathrm s^2}=90.\,\mathrm N

a train engineer started the train from a standstill and sped up to 5 meters per second, she then rounded a corner at a constant
olasank [31]

for acceleration we can define that rate of change in velocity is know as acceleration

So whenever velocity of train is changing with time we can say train is accelerating

Now here if initially train is standstill then after some time its speed is 5 m/s

so here the train is accelerated first time

Then on straight path its speed changed from 5 m/s to 10 m/s so here train gets accelerated second time

After this train chugged around a curve with same speed 10 m/s

SO here since train is moving in curve so here its direction of velocity is continuously changing and this type of acceleration is known as centripetal acceleration

SO this is accelerated Third time

Then its speed decreases and it comes to speed of 5 m/s from 10 m/s

So here it is acceleration of train for Fourth time

Then finally train comes to stop so again its speed changed from 5 m/s to 0

so this is acceleration of train Fifth time

So total train will accelerate 5 times in whole path
