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

A 350-g mass is attached to a spring whose spring constant is 64 N/m. Its maximum acceleration is 5.3 m/s2. What is the frequenc

max2010maxim [7]

The frequency of oscillation is 2.153 Hz

What is the frequency of spring?

Spring Frequency is the natural frequency of spring with a weight at the lower end. Spring is fixed from the upper end and the lower end is free.

For the mass-spring system in this problem,

The Frequency of spring is calculated with the equation:

$f = \frac{1}{2\pi } \sqrt{\frac{k}{m} }$

Where,

f = frequency of spring

k = spring constant = 64 N/m

m = mass attached to spring = 350g = 0.350 kg

a = maximum acceleration = 5.3 m/s^2

Substituting the values in the equation,

$f = \frac{1}{2\pi } \sqrt{\frac{64}{0.350} }$

$f = \frac{1}{2\pi } ( 13.522)$

$f = 2.1535 Hz$

Hence,

The frequency of oscillation is 2.153 Hz

The prop blades of an airplane spin with a linear velocity of 875 m/s and have a centripetal acceleration on the farthest edge o

storchak [24]

The radius of the prop blade of an airplane is determined as 4.25 m.

<h3>Radius of the prop blade</h3>

The radius of the prop blade of an airplane is calculated as follows;

a = v²/r

where;

v is the linear speed
r is the radius of the prop blade
a is the centripetal acceleration

r = v²/a

r = (875²)/(180,000)

r = 4.25 m

Thus, the radius of the prop blade of an airplane is determined as 4.25 m.

If a planet has a radius 20% greater than that of the Earth but has the same mass as the Earth, what is the acceleration due to

Vaselesa [24]

Answer:

$g_2=6.8125 m^2/sec$

Explanation:

We know that

Acceleration due to gravity g is given by the formula

$g= \frac{GM}{r^2}$

G= gravitational constant

M= mass of the Earth

r= radius of the earth

$g_1 = GM/r_1^2$

Let acc. due to gravity after radius is 20% greater be g_2

then

$g_2=GM/r_2^2$

=> g1/g2 = (r_2/r_1)^2 => g2 = 9.81/1.2^2 = 6.8125
