Answer:
0.0000076 grams
Explanation:
We're given the half life of Tritium to be 12.3 years. In order to find out the amount of substabce remaining:
Let's first find how many 'half lives' are in 250 years.
Now what is half life? It means the time taken for a given quantity of an element to lose half it's mass.
So in 12.3 years we can find that The amount of 250 g of Tritium will be 250/2 = 125 g. In 24.6 years we'll have 125/2 = 62.5 g
So now we can devise a formula:
Where m is the remaining amount and n is th number of half lives in the time given.
Using this formula we can calculate:
Doing this calculation we get:
As we can see a very small value remains.
The total mechanical energy of the block-spring system is given by the sum of the potential energy and the kinetic energy of the block:
where
k is the spring constant
x is the elongation/compression of the spring
m is the mass of the block
v is the speed of the block
At the point of maximum displacement of the spring, the velocity of the block is zero: v=0, so the kinetic energy is zero and the mechanical energy is just potential energy of the spring:
(1)
where we used x=A, the amplitude (which is the maximum displacement of the spring).
Since we know
A = 11.0 cm= 0.11 m
E = 1.10 J
We can re-arrange (1) to find the spring constant:
where
k is the spring constant
x is the elongation/compression of the spring
m is the mass of the block
v is the speed of the block
At the point of maximum displacement of the spring, the velocity of the block is zero: v=0, so the kinetic energy is zero and the mechanical energy is just potential energy of the spring:
where we used x=A, the amplitude (which is the maximum displacement of the spring).
Since we know
A = 11.0 cm= 0.11 m
E = 1.10 J
