A sample contains 16 g of a radioactive isotope. how much radioactive
mafiozo [28]

After one half-life, 8 g of radioactive isotope will remain in the sample.

<h3>What is radioactivity?</h3>

The act of producing radiation spontaneously is known as radioactivity. This is accomplished by an unstable atomic nucleus that want to give up some energy in order to move to a more stable form.

The following formula is used to compute the number of half lives elapsed:

\rm N=\frac{N_0}{2^n} \\\\ N=\frac{16}{2} \\\\ N= 8 \ gram

Hence,8 gram of radioactive isotope remains in the sample after 1 half-life.

An airplane is flying in a horizontal circle at a speed of 480 km/h (). If its wings are tilted at angle =40° to the horizontal
german

Answer:

R = 2162 m

Explanation:

When wings of the airplane makes an angle of 40 degree with the horizontal so here we can say that force due to air is having two components

F_y = mg

F_x = \frac{mv^2}{R}

now we know that

F_y = F cos40

F_x = F sin40

also we know that

v = 480 km/h

v = 133.3 m/s

now plug in all data in above equations

tan 40 = \frac{v^2}{Rg}

R = \frac{v^2}{g tan40}

R = \frac{133.3^2}{9.8 tan40}

R = 2162 m

Calculate ideal work (in J) when a single stream of 1 mole of air is heated and expanded from 25 C and 1 bar to 100 C and 0.5 ba
NISA [10]

Answer:

-1786.5J

Explanation:

Temperature 1=T1=25°c

Temperature 2=T2=200°c

Pressure P1=1bar

Pressure P2=0.5bars

T=37°c+273=310k

Note number if moles=1

Recall work done =2.3026RTlogp2/P1

2.3026*8.314*310log(0.5/1)

-1786.5J

What is the frequency of sound waves whose wavelength is 0.25 m on a day when the air temperature is 25 degree Celsius? Group of
Dvinal [7]

Answer:1384 Hz

Explanation:

Given

wavelength(\lambda )=0.25 m

Temperature T=25^{\circ}

at T=25^{\circ} velocity of sound is 346 m/s

and we know

velocity=frequency\times \lambda

v=f\times \lambda

346=f\times 0.25

f=1384 Hz
