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

A bolt of lightning discharges 9.7 C in 8.9 x 10^-5 s. What is the average current during the discharge?
Anastaziya [24]

Answer: 1.089\times 10^5\ A

Explanation:

Given

Charge discharged Q=9.7\C

time taken t=8.9\times 10^{-5}\ s

Current is given as rate of change of discharge i.e.

\Rightarrow I=\dfrac{Q}{t}\\\\\Rightarrow I=\dfrac{9.7}{8.9\times 10^{-5}}\\\\\Rightarrow I=1.089\times 10^5\ A

Therefore, the average current is 1.089\times 10^5\ A

I have a combination of myopia and presbyopia—overall, the power of my visual system is too large, but I also have a very limite
e-lub [12.9K]

Answer:

The range of powers is    - 5 \ D \le P \le - 2.667\  D

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

       The far point of the left eye is n_f = 20 cm

       The near point of the left eye is  n =  15cm

       The near point with the glasses on is n_g =25 \ cm

     

From these parameter we can see that with the glass on that for near point the

         Object distance would be u = -25 \ cm

          Image distance would be  v =  -15 \ cm

To obtain the focal length we would apply the lens formula which is mathematically represented as

              \frac{1}{f} =  \frac{1}{v}  -  \frac{1}{u}

substituting values

              \frac{1}{f} =  \frac{1}{-15}  -  \frac{1}{-25}

               f =  - \frac{75}{2} cm

           converting to  meters

               f =  - \frac{75}{2} * \frac{1}{100}

               f =  - \frac{75}{200} \ m

   Generally the power of the lens is mathematically represented as

                P  = \frac{1}{f}

Substituting values

                 P = -  \frac{200}{75}  m

                 P = - 2.667 \ D

   

From these parameter we can see that with the glass on that for far  point the

         Object distance would be u_f = - \infty \ cm

          Image distance would be  v_f =  -20  \ cm

To obtain the focal length of the lens we would apply the lens formula which is mathematically represented as

                    \frac{1}{f_f} =  \frac{1}{v_f}  -  \frac{1}{u_f}

substituting values

                  \frac{1}{f} =  \frac{1}{-20}  -  \frac{1}{- \infty}

                 \frac{1}{f} =  \frac{1}{-20}  -  0      

                  f_f =  \frac{20}{1}  \ cm

converting to  meters

                f_f =  - \frac{20}{1}  * \frac{1}{100}

               

Generally the power of the lens is mathematically represented as

                P  = \frac{1}{f_f}

Substituting values

                 P = -  \frac{100}{20}  m

                 P = - 5 \ D

This implies that the range of powers of the lens in his glass is

                  - 5 \ D \le P \le - 2.667\  D

Answer:

Lol, you should do Nate, Bobby, Cindy, Joe, and Beth

Jk, if you want to be series and probably not fail go for these:

If it wants types of small/average stars, then go with

Small star names:

OGLE-TR-122B

Gliese 229 B

TRAPPIST-1

Teegarden's Star

Luyten 726-8 (A and B)

Proxima Centauri

Wolf 359 111400

An aluminum wire having a cross-sectional area equal to 2.20 10-6 m2 carries a current of 4.50 A. The density of aluminum is 2.7
Kazeer [188]

Answer:

The drift speed of the electrons in the wire is 2.12x10⁻⁴ m/s.

Explanation:

We can find the drift speed by using the following equation:

v = \frac{I}{nqA}

Where:

I: is the current = 4.50 A

n: is the number of electrons

q: is the modulus of the electron's charge = 1.6x10⁻¹⁹ C

A: is the cross-sectional area = 2.20x10⁻⁶ m²

We need to find the number of electrons:

n = \frac{6.022\cdot 10^{23} atoms}{1 mol}*\frac{1 mol}{26.982 g}*\frac{2.70 g}{1 cm^{3}}*\frac{(100 cm)^{3}}{1 m^{3}} = 6.03 \cdot 10^{28} atom/m^{3}                  

Now, we can find the drift speed:

v = \frac{I}{nqA} = \frac{4.50 A}{6.03 \cdot 10^{28} atom/m^{3}*1.6 \cdot 10^{-19} C*2.20 \cdot 10^{-6} m^{2}} = 2.12 \cdot 10^{-4} m/s              

Therefore, the drift speed of the electrons in the wire is 2.12x10⁻⁴ m/s.

I hope it helps you!
