Answer:

29 counts per minute (29 cpm)

Explanation:

The half-life of a radioactive isotope is the time needed for the activity of the sample to halve.The half-life of Francium-223 is exactly 22 minutes: this means that its activity after 22 minutes becomes exactly half of its initial value. Since the initial activity of this sample of francium-223 was 58 cpm, the activity after 22 minutes will be

A=\frac{58 cpm}{2}=29 cpm

The cheetah is considered the fastest running animal in the world. Cheetahs can accelerate to a speed of 21.7 m/s in 2.50 s and
viktelen [127]

Answer:

1) 64.2 mi/h

2) 3.31 seconds

3) 47.5 m

4) 5.26 seconds

Explanation:

t = Time taken = 2.5 s

u = Initial velocity = 0 m/s

v = Final velocity = 21.7 m/s

s = Displacement

a = Acceleration

1) Top speed = 28.7 m/s

1 mile = 1609.344 m

1\ m=\frac{1}{1609.344}\ miles

1 hour = 60×60 seconds

1\ s=\frac{1}{3600}\ hours

28.7\ m/s=\frac{\frac{28.7}{1609.344}}{\frac{1}{3600}}=64.2\ mi/h

Top speed of the cheetah is 64.2 mi/h

Equation of motion

v=u+at\\\Rightarrow a=\frac{v-u}{t}\\\Rightarrow t=\frac{21.7-0}{2.5}\\\Rightarrow a=8.68\ m/s^2

Acceleration of the cheetah is 8.68 m/s²

2)

v=u+at\\\Rightarrow t=\frac{v-u}{a}\\\Rightarrow t=\frac{28.7-0}{8.68}\\\Rightarrow t=3.31\ s

It takes a cheetah 3.31 seconds to reach its top speed.

3)

v^2-u^2=2as\\\Rightarrow s=\frac{v^2-u^2}{2a}\\\Rightarrow s=\frac{28.7^2-0^2}{2\times 8.68}\\\Rightarrow s=47.5\ m

It travels 47.5 m in that time

4) When s = 120 m

s=ut+\frac{1}{2}at^2\\\Rightarrow 120=0\times t+\frac{1}{2}\times 8.68\times t^2\\\Rightarrow t=\sqrt{\frac{120\times 2}{8.68}}\\\Rightarrow t=5.26\ s

The time it takes the cheetah to reach a rabbit is 120 m is 5.26 seconds

On a cloudless day, the sunlight that reaches the surface of the earth has an intensity of about W/m². What is the electromagnet
Otrada [13]

Answer:

1.907 x 10⁻⁵ J.

Explanation:

Given,

Volume of space, V = 5.20 m³

Assuming the intensity of sunlight(S) be equal to 1.1 x 10³ W/m².

Electromagnetic energy = ?

E = \mu V

E = (\dfrac{S}{c})\times V

where c is the speed of light.

E = (\dfrac{1.1\times 10^3}{3\times 10^8})\times 5.20

E = 1.907\times 10^{-5}\ J

Hence, Electromagnetic energy is equal to 1.907 x 10⁻⁵ J.

A car enters a level, unbanked semi-circular hairpin turn of 100 m radius at a speed of 28 m/s. The coefficient of friction betw
meriva

Answer:

As  28m/s = 28m/s

Explanation:

r = the radius of the curve

m =  the mass of the car

μ = the coefficient of kinetic friction

N = normal reaction

When rounding the curve, the centripetal acceleration is

a = \frac{v^{2}}{r}

therefore

\mu mg = m \frac{v^{2}}{r} \\\\ \mu =  \frac{v^{2}}{rg}

v = \sqrt{\mu rg}

\mu = \sqrt{0.8 \times 100\times9.8} \\\\= 28m/s

As  28m/s = 28m/s
