After four half-lives of decay, what is the ratio of radioactive parent isotope to stable daughter isotope?

Physics
1 answer:
Margarita [4]3 years ago
3 0

Answer:

Ratio of parent to daughter nuclei is 16 : 1

OR

1 : 0.0625

Explanation:

The half of a radioisotope is the time it will take half of the original mass to decay.

Let the original mass be y

After the first half life, the new mass will be y/2

After the second half decay, the new mass will be y/4

After the third half decay, the new mass will be y/8

After the fourth half life decay, the new mass will be y/16.

Thus the ratio of the mother nucleus to the daughter nucleus will be y : y/16

Multiply the ratio through by 16

= 16y : y

= 16 : 1

nexus9112 [7]

Answer:

the magnitude of the electric force on the projectile is 0.0335N

Explanation:

time of flight t = 2·V·sinθ/g

= (2 * 6.0m/s * sin35º) / 9.8m/s²

= 0.702 s

The body travels for this much time and cover horizontal displacement x from the point of lunch

So, use kinematic equation for horizontal motion

horizontal displacement

x = Vcosθ*t + ½at²

2.9 m = 6.0m/s * cos35º * 0.702s + ½a * (0.702s)²

a = -2.23 m/s²

This is the horizontal acceleration of the object.

Since the object is subject to only electric force in horizontal direction, this acceleration is due to electric force only

Therefore,the magnitude of the electric force on the projectile will be

F = m*|a|

= 0.015kg * 2.23m/s²

= 0.0335 N

Thus, the magnitude of the electric force on the projectile is 0.0335N

An object at rest does not _____ and an object in motion does not _____, unless an _____ force acts upon it
mel-nik [20]

Answer:

An object at rest does not move and an object in motion does not change its velocity, unless an external force acts upon it

Explanation:

This statement is also known as Newton's first law, or law of  inertia.

It states that the state of motion of an object can be changed only if there is an external force (different from zero) acting on it: therefore

- If an object is at rest, it will remain at rest if there is no force acting on it

- If an object is moving, it will continue moving at constant velocity if there is no force acting on it

This phenomenon can be also understood by looking at Newton's second law:

F = ma

where

F is the net force on an object

m is the mass

a is the acceleration

If the net force is zero, F = 0, the acceleration of the object is also zero, a = 0: therefore, the velocity of the object does not change, and it will continue moving at the same velocity (which can be zero, if the object was at rest).

ivanzaharov [21]

Answer:

The electric potential will be "259.695 volt".

Explanation:

In the given question, the figure is not provided. Below is the attached figure given.

Given:

q_1=6.39\times 10^{-9} \ C

q_2=3.22\times 10^{-9} \ C

AP=(0.150+0.250)

      =0.40 \ m

BP=0.25 \ m

Now,

At point P, the electric potential will be:

⇒ V=\frac{q_1}{4 \pi \epsilon_o AP } +\frac{q_2}{4 \pi \epsilon_o BP}

By putting values, we get

⇒     =9\times 10^9 [\frac{6.39\times 10^{-9}}{0.40} +\frac{3.22\times 10^{-9}}{0.25} ]

⇒     =259.695 \ Volt
