Atoms of element A decay to atoms of element B with a half-life of 20,000 years. If there are 10,000 atoms of A to begin with (a

nd 0 atoms of B), how long will it take for there to be 2,500 atoms of A? A) 20,000 years B) 40,000 years C) 60,000 years D) 100,000 years

Answer:

B) 40,000 years

Explanation:

You would have only 2500 of A left after 40,000 years. This represents 2 half-lives. After 20,000, ther would be 5,000 of A left and after another 20,000, it would be reduced to 2,500.

T = half life period of decay for atoms of element A = 20,000 years

N₀ = initial number of atoms of element A = 10,000 atoms

N = final number of atoms after time "t" = 2500 atoms

t = time of decay = ?

λ = decay constant = ?

decay constant is given as

λ = 0.693/T

λ = 0.693/20,000

λ = 0.00003465 years⁻¹

atoms after decay for time "t" is given as

N = N₀ e^{-\lambda t}

inserting the values

2500 = (10000) e^{-(0.00003465) t}

t = 40,000 years

so correct choice is

B) 40,000 years

If 100 J of electrical energy enter the bulb and 5 J of light energy leave the bulb, how many joules of heat energy leave the bu
Novay_Z [31]

As per energy conservation we know that

Energy enter into the bulb = Light energy + Thermal energy

so now we have

energy enter into the bulb = 100 J

Light energy = 5 J

now from above equation we have

100 = 5 + heat

Heat = (100 - 5) J

Heat = 95 J

What force is required to cause a 5 kg bowling ball to accelerate at 4 m/s2​
Scorpion4ik [409]

Answer:

20 N

Explanation:

By Newton's 2nd law,

The rate of change of momentum is directly proportional to the unbalance force applied on the object,

By that you can get the equation,

F = ma

  = 5 × 4 = 20 N
