Answer:

There is no change, unless your mass is somehow at the quantum level, at which the concept of half-life breaks down.

Half life is a property of the specific radioactive isotope...NOT of the initial sample's mass.

An LC circuit consists of a 3.4-µF capacitor and a coil with a self-inductance 0.080 H and no appreciable resistance. At t = 0 t

alexira [117]

Answer

given,

capacitance = C = 3.4-µF

inductance = L = 0.08 H

frequency is expressed as

$f = \dfrac{1}{2\pi\sqrt{LC}}$

time period

$T = \dfrac{1}{f}=2\pi\sqrt{LC}$

after time T/4 current reach maximum

$t = \dfrac{T}{4}$

$t = \dfrac{2\pi\sqrt{LC}}{4}$

$t = \dfrac{2\pi\sqrt{0.08 \times 3.4 \times 10^{-6}}}{4}$

t = 8.2 x 10⁻⁴ s

t = 0.82 ms

b) using law of conservation

$\dfrac{1}{2}CV^2=\dfrac{1}{2}LI^2$

$I^2 = \dfrac{CV^2}{L}$

$I^2 = \dfrac{C}{L}\dfrac{Q^2}{C^2}$

$I =\sqrt{\dfrac{Q^2}{CL}}$

$I =\sqrt{\dfrac{(5.4 \times 10^{-6})^2}{0.08 \times 3.4 \times 10^{-6}}}$

I = 0.010 A

I = 10 mA

An object is moving north with an initial velocity of 14 m/s accelerates 5m/s for 20 seconds. What is the final velocity of the

olga2289 [7]

Use the kinematic equation: Vf=Vi+at

Then plug;

Vi=14 m/s

a=5 m/s²

t=20 s. Therefore;

Vf=14+(5*20)

Vf=114 m/s.
