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

You can use any coordinate system you like in order to solve a projectile motion problem. To demonstrate the truth of this state
posledela

Answer:

a)  y₂ = 49.1 m ,    t = 1.02 s , b)   y = 49.1 m , t= 1.02 s

Explanation:

a) We will solve this problem with the missile launch kinematic equations, to find the maximum height, at this point the vertical speed is zero

            v_{y}² = v_{oy}² - 2 g (y –yo)

The origin of the coordinate system is on the floor and the ball is thrown from a height

           y-yo = v_{oy}² /2 g
            y- 0 = 10.0²/2 9.8
            y - 0 = 5.10 m
            
The height from the ground is the height that rises from the reference system plus the depth of the ground from the reference system
             y₂ = 5.1 + 44
             y₂ = 49.1 m
Let's use the other equation to find the time
              [tex]v_{y} = v_{oy} - g t

              t = v_{oy} / g

              t = 10 / 9.8

              t = 1.02 s

b) the maximum height

            y- 44.0 = v_{y}² / 2 g

            y - 44.0 = 5.1

            y = 5.1 +44.0

            y = 49.1 m

The time is the same because it does not depend on the initial height

              t = 1.02 s

An experimental tungsten light bulb filament has a length of 5 cm and a diameter of 0.074 cm. The filament is basically just a w
adell [148]

Answer:

power emitted is 1.75 W

Explanation:

given data

length l = 5 cm = 5 ×10^{-2} m

diameter d = 0.074 cm = 74 ×10^{-5} m

total filament emissivity = 0.300

temperature = 3068 K

to find out

power emitted

solution

we find first area that is π×d×L

area = π×d×L

area = π×74 ×10^{-5}×5 ×10^{-2}

area = 1162.3892  ×10^{-5} m²

so here power emitted  is express as

power emitted  = E × σ × area × (temperature)^4

put here all value

power emitted  = 0.300× 5.67 × 1162.3892  ×10^{-5}  × (3068)^4

power emitted = 1.75 W
