Sodium-24, which is used to locate blood clots in the human circulatory system, has a half-life of 15.0 h . A sample of sodium-2

4 with an inital mass of 13.0 g was stored for 45.0 h . How many grams of sodium-24 are left in the sample after 45.0 h ?

Answer:

0.3967mg of sodium-24 are left

Explanation:

If the half life of radioactive element (which is sodium-24 here) is T_{1/2}, then at the end of this time the number of atoms in the sample will become half i.e. 1/2 .

if the original amount of atoms is N°. The formula for calculating the remaining atoms (N) left in the sample after t half lives would be:

N=N^{o}  * (1/2)^{t}

Here, in this question,

Given amount of sodium-24 = N° = 13 grams

Half life of sodium-24 = t = 15

and Remaining amount of sodium after 45 hours = N = ?

Therefore, using the given Forumla:

N=\frac{13}{2^{15} }

N= 3.967*10^{-4} g\\ N=0.3967 mg

3. What is the gravitational force between a 70 kg physics student and her 1 kg textbook, at a distance of 1 meter? (This number
Rina8888 [55]

ANSWER

\begin{equation*} 4.67*10^{-9}\text{ }N \end{equation*}

EXPLANATION

Parameters given:

Mass of the student, M = 70 kg

Mass of the textbook, m = 1 kg

Distance, r = 1 m

To find the gravitational force acting between the student and the textbook, apply the formula for gravitational force:

F=\frac{GMm}{r^2}

where G = gravitational constant

Therefore, the gravitational force acting between the student and the textbook is:

\begin{gathered} F=\frac{6.67430*10^{-11}*70*1}{1^2} \\  \\ F=4.67*10^{-9}\text{ }N \end{gathered}

That is the answer.

10. Almost three-quarters of household energy use is due to the following:
Arturiano [62]

Answer: Energy consumption and sustainability is important so that it remain available for future generation.

Explanation:

1. The home furnaces are likely to require fuel like coal, which will directly emit carbon dioxide and carbon monoxide gases. These should be replaced with the electrical furnaces. The old or more power consuming air conditioners should be replaced with new ones.

2. The water heaters should be tankless so their capacity to heat more water could be possible. The water heaters should be electricity saving.

3. Washer and dryers should be water savy and electricity savy. A front-loading washing machine is useful energy saver.

4. The LED lights are more electricity saving than conventional bulbs. Halogen lights are also electricity saving.

A battery with an emf of 12.0 V shows a terminal voltage of 11.7 V when operating in a circuit with two lightbulbs, each rated a
wariber [46]
<h2>Answer:</h2>

0.46Ω

<h2>Explanation:</h2>

The electromotive force (E) in the circuit is related to the terminal voltage(V), of the circuit and the internal resistance (r) of the battery as follows;

E = V + Ir                      --------------------(a)

Where;

I = current flowing through the circuit

But;

V = I x Rₓ                    ---------------------(b)

Where;

Rₓ = effective or total resistance in the circuit.

<em>First, let's calculate the effective resistance in the circuit:</em>

The effective resistance (Rₓ) in the circuit is the one due to the resistances in the two lightbulbs.

Let;

R₁ = resistance in the first bulb

R₂ = resistance in the second bulb

Since the two bulbs are both rated at 4.0W ( at 12.0V), their resistance values (R₁ and R₂) are the same and will be given by the power formula;

P = \frac{V^{2} }{R}

=> R = \frac{V^{2} }{P}             -------------------(ii)

Where;

P = Power of the bulb

V = voltage across the bulb

R = resistance of the bulb

To get R₁, equation (ii) can be written as;

R₁ = \frac{V^{2} }{P}    --------------------------------(iii)

Where;

V = 12.0V

P = 4.0W

Substitute these values into equation (iii) as follows;

R₁ = \frac{12.0^{2} }{4}

R₁ = \frac{144}{4}

R₁ = 36Ω

Following the same approach, to get R₂, equation (ii) can be written as;

R₂ = \frac{V^{2} }{P}    --------------------------------(iv)

Where;

V = 12.0V

P = 4.0W

Substitute these values into equation (iv) as follows;

R₂ = \frac{12.0^{2} }{4}

R₂ = \frac{144}{4}

R₂ = 36Ω

Now, since the bulbs are connected in parallel, the effective resistance (Rₓ) is given by;

\frac{1}{R_{X} } = \frac{1}{R_1} + \frac{1}{R_2}       -----------------(v)

Substitute the values of R₁ and R₂ into equation (v) as follows;

\frac{1}{R_X} = \frac{1}{36} + \frac{1}{36}

\frac{1}{R_X} = \frac{2}{36}

Rₓ = \frac{36}{2}

Rₓ = 18Ω

The effective resistance (Rₓ) is therefore, 18Ω

<em>Now calculate the current I, flowing in the circuit:</em>

Substitute the values of V = 11.7V and Rₓ = 18Ω into equation (b) as follows;

11.7 = I x 18

I = \frac{11.7}{18}

I = 0.65A

<em>Now calculate the battery's internal resistance:</em>

Substitute the values of E = 12.0, V = 11.7V and I = 0.65A  into equation (a) as follows;

12.0 = 11.7 + 0.65r

0.65r = 12.0 - 11.7

0.65r = 0.3

r = \frac{0.3}{0.65}

r = 0.46Ω

Therefore, the internal resistance of the battery is 0.46Ω
