Half life is 5700 years,that is 50%.

6.25% means 1/16 of the life is left.

T^1/16 =T^1/2*4.

5700 × 4 =22800 years

Two uniform bars of the same dimensions are constructed from the same material. One bar has five evenly spaced holes through it
Elan Coil [88]

Solution :

The angular acceleration, $\alpha$ is obtained from the equation of the $\text{Newton's second law}$ of rotational motion,

Thus,

$\tau = F \times d$

or $\tau = I \times \alpha$

where $\tau$ is torque, F is force, d is moment arm distance, I is the moment of inertia

Thus, $\alpha=\frac{(F\times d)}{I}$

Now if the force and the moment arm distance are constant, then the \text{angular acceleration is inversely proportional to the moment of inertia.}

That is when, F = d = constant, then  $\alpha \propto \frac{1}{I}$ .

Thus, moment of inertia, I is proportional to mass of the bar.

The mass is less for the bar in case (1) in comparison with that with the bar in case (2) due to the holes that is made in the bar.

Therefore, the bar in case (1), has less moment of inertia and a greater angular acceleration.

A sports car and a minivan run out of gas and are pushed to the side of the road. Which is easier to push, and why?
astraxan [27]

Answer:

The correct option is;

The sports car, because it has less mass and therefore less inertia

Explanation:

Newton's first law of motion states that an object will continue in its state of rest or uniform motion in a straight line unless acted on by a force. The property exhibited by the object is known as inertia

Newton's second law states that force is directly proportional to the rate of change of momentum produced

The rate of change of momentum of an object is directly proportional to the resultant force applied and is in the direction of the resultant force. The resultant force is equal to the rate of change of momentum.

Therefore, we have;

F = m·dv/dt = m×a

Given that the force required to move an object is directly proportional to its mass therefore, the inertia or the object resistance that requires a force to bring change is directly proportional to the mass of the object.

The mass of a sports car being considered lesser than the mass of the minivan will require less force to push and therefore has less inertia.

A stone is thrown vertically upwards with an intinal velocity of 20 m/sec . find the maximum height it reaches and the time by i
serious [3.7K]

Answer:

Maximum height is20m and time taken will be 2second

Explanation:

vi=20m/s

vf=0m/s

g=10m/s^2

Using third equation for objects falling freely

2gh=(vf)^2-(vi)^2

Putting values

2(10m/s^2)h=(0m/s)^2-(20m/s)^2

20h=400m

h=20m

Now we have to find the time

Using first equation of motion for objects falling down freely

vf=vi+at

substituting the equation

(vf-vi)/g=t

(0-20)/10=t

t=2second

The substances in the table are combined, and Substance 1 loses 40 calories of heat. How many calories of heat will Substance 2
Luda [366]

Over time, the substances will reach equilibrium, meaning the heat calories lost by Substance 1 will be gained by Substance 2. Therefore, Substance 2 will eventually gain 40 calories of heat.
