9. A radioisotope has a half-life of 4.50 min and an initial decay rate of 8400 Bq. What will be

Physics

Akimi4 [234]3 years ago
8 0

Answer:

525 Bq

Explanation:

The decay rate is directly proportional to the amount of radioisotope, so we can use the half-life equation:

A = A₀ (½)^(t / T)

A is the final amount

A₀ is the initial amount,

t is the time,

T is the half life

A = (8400 Bq) (½)^(18.0 min / 4.50 min)

A = (8400 Bq) (½)^4

A = (8400 Bq) (1/16)

A = 525 Bq

How far from the surface of Earth is the magnitude of Earth's gravitational field equal to 7.86 N/kg?
AfilCa [17]

Answer:

7.48 x 10⁵ m

Explanation:

g = 7.86 N/kg

M = 5.97 x 10²⁴ kg, R = 6.37 x 10⁶ m.

Find height h

g = GM/(R + h)²

(R + h)² = GM/g = 6.67 x 10⁺¹¹ x 5.97 x 10²⁴ /7.86 = 5.066 x 10¹³

R + h = 7.12 x 10⁶ m

so

h =  7.12 x 10⁶ - 6.37 x 10⁶ = 7.48 x 10⁵ m

PLEASE HELP!!!!!!! MY HOMEWORK IS DUE TODAY !!!!!!!!
bogdanovich [222]

Answer:

Distance = 25000000 miles

Time = 50 hours

Explanation:

Venus is the closest planet to Earth. It is about 25 million miles away from Earth. Its precise distance depends on where both Venus and Earth are in their respective orbits

Given that

Speed V = 500000 mph

Distance d = 25 000,000 miles

Speed = distance/ time

Time = distance/speed

Time = 25000000/500000

Time = 50 hours

It will therefore take 50 hours to get to venus at that speed.
