<h2>Answer:</h2>

(a) 10.00V

(b) 0.5V

<h2>Explanation:</h2>

(a) The power(P) supplied by a resistor of resistance (R) when a voltage(V) is passed across is given by;

P = V² / R       ------------------(i)

From the question;

P = 5.00W

R = 20.00Ω

Substitute these values into equation (i) as follows;

5.00 = V² / 20.00

V² = 5.00 x 20.00

V² = 100.00

V = \sqrt{100.00}

Solve for V;

V = 10.00V

Therefore, the maximum voltage that can be applied without harming the resistor is 10.00V

(b) By Ohm's law the current (I) flowing through a resistor of resistance (R) when a voltage (V) is applied is given by;

V = I x R

=> I = V / R             ----------------(ii)

Substitute the values of V and R into equation (ii) as follows;

I = 10.00 / 20.00

I = 0.5A

Therefore, the current through the resistor is 0.5A

Kitty [74]

Answer:

α = 0.0135 rad/s²

Explanation:

given,

t = 133 min = 133 x 60 = 7980 s

angular speed varies from 570 rpm to 1600 rpm

now,

570 rpm = 570 \times \dfrac{2\pi}{60}

              = 59.69 rad/s

1600 rpm =  = 570 \times \dfrac{2\pi}{60}

              = 167.6 rad/s

using equation of rotational motion

ωf = ωi + αt    

167.6 = 59.7 + α x 7980

α  x 7980 = 107.9

α = 0.0135 rad/s²

The ratio of carbon-14 to nitrogen-14 is an artifact is 1:3. Given that half-life of carbon-14 is 5730years, how old is the arti
dusya [7]

Answer:

9155 years old

Explanation:

We use the following expression for the decay of a substance:

N = N_0\,\,e^{-k*t}

So we first estimate the value of k knowing that the half-life of the C14 is 5730 years:

N = N_0\,\,e^{-k*t}\\N_0/2=N_0\,\,e^{-k*5730}\\1/2 = e^{-k*5730}\\ln(1/2)=-k*5730\\k= 0.00012

so, now we can estimate the age of the artifact by solving for"t" in the equation:

1/3=e^{-0.00012*t}\\ln(1/3)= -0.00012*t\\t=9155. 102

which we can round to 9155 years old.

Strontium 3890Sr has a half-life of 28.5 yr. It is chemically similar to calcium, enters the body through the food chain, and co
patriot [66]

Answer:

Thus the time taken is calculated as 387.69 years

Solution:

As per the question:

Half life of ^{3890}Sr\, t_{\frac{1}{2}} = 28.5 yrs

Now,

To calculate the time, t in which the 99.99% of the release in the reactor:

By using the formula:

\frac{N}{N_{o}} = (\frac{1}{2})^{\frac{t}{t_{\frac{1}{2}}}}

where

N = No. of nuclei left after time t

N_{o} = No. of nuclei initially started with

\frac{N}{N_{o}} = 1\times 10^{- 4}

(Since, 100% - 99.99% = 0.01%)

Thus

1\times 10^{- 4} = (\frac{1}{2})^{\frac{t}{28.5}}}

Taking log on both the sides:

- 4 = \frac{t}{28.5}log\frac{1}{2}

t = \frac{-4\times 28.5}{log\frac{1}{2}}

t = 387.69 yrs
