A radioactive isotope of the element potassium decays to produce argon. If the ratio of argon to potassium is found to be 31:1,

how many half-lives have occurred?
Physics

Answer:

Explanation:

Argon to potassium ratio after 1 half life = 1:1

After 2 half lives = 75/25= 3:1

After 3 half lives = 87.5/12.5= 7:1

After 4 half lives = 93.75/6.25 = 15:1

After 5 half lives = 96.875/3.125 = 31/1

Assuming the incline to be frictionless and the zero of gravitational potential energy to be at the elevation of the horizontal
Leya [2.2K]

The energy in the system is given by the law of conservation of energy.

The energy stored in the spring plus the gravitational potential energy of the block when it has fully compressed the spring will be equal to m·g·h.

Reason:

The given parameters are;

Surface of the inclined plane = Frictionless

Potential energy at the horizontal line = Zero of gravitational potential

By the law of Conservation of Energy, we have;

The spring will be compressed by a distance, <em>x</em>

The energy stored in the compressed spring, K.E. = (1/2)·k·x²

Energy in the block when the block comes to rest at a height, h₁, will be, P.E. = m·g·h₁

Therefore, by conservation of energy, we have;

The initial potential of the block = The stored energy in the compressed string + The gravitational potential energy of the block when it has compressed.

Therefore, the correct option is; <u>The energy stored in the spring plus the gravitational potential energy of the block when it has fully compressed the spring will be equal to m·g·h</u>

When does a circuit is said to be over loaded?​
Vlad [161]

Answer:

Every electric circuit in a wiring system must be protected against overloads. A circuit overload occurs when the amount of current flowing through the circuit exceeds the rating of the protective devices. The amount of current flowing in a circuit is determined by the load -- or the "demand" -- for current.

Explanation:

Hope this helps :)
