Answer: 5.075Ns

Explanation:

Given the following :

Mass of ball = 145g

Initial Speed of ball = 15m/s

Final speed of ball when hit by the batter = - 20m/s ( Opposite direction)

The impulse of a body is represented using the relation:

Force(f) * time(t) = mass (m) * (final Velocity(V) - initial velocity(u))

Therefore, using:

m(v - u) = impulse

Mass of ball = 145 / 1000 = 0.145kg

Impulse = 0.145(- 20 - 15)

Impulse = 0.145(-35)

Impulse = 5.075Ns

A freshly prepared sample of radioactive isotope has an activity of 10 mCi. After 4 hours, its activity is 8 mCi. Find: (a) the

Maurinko [17]

Answer:

(a). The decay constant is $1.55\times10^{-5}\ s^{-1}$

The half life is 11.3 hr.

(b). The value of N₀ is $2.38\times10^{11}\ nuclei$

(c). The sample's activity is 1.87 mCi.

Explanation:

Given that,

Activity $R_{0}=10\ mCi$

Time $t_{1}=4\ hours$

Activity R= 8 mCi

(a). We need to calculate the decay constant

Using formula of activity

$R=R_{0}e^{-\lambda t}$

$\lambda=\dfrac{1}{t}ln(\dfrac{R_{0}}{R})$

Put the value into the formula

$\lambda=\dfrac{1}{4\times3600}ln(\dfrac{10}{8})$

$\lambda=0.0000154\ s^{-1}$

$\lambda=1.55\times10^{-5}\ s^{-1}$

We need to calculate the half life

Using formula of half life

$T_{\dfrac{1}{2}}=\dfrac{ln(2)}{\lambda}$

Put the value into the formula

$T_{\dfrac{1}{2}}=\dfrac{ln(2)}{1.55\times10^{-5}}$

$T_{\dfrac{1}{2}}=44.719\times10^{3}\ s$

$T_{\dfrac{1}{2}}=11.3\ hr$

(b). We need to calculate the value of N₀

Using formula of $N_{0}$

$N_{0}=\dfrac{3.70\times10^{6}}{\lambda}$

Put the value into the formula

$N_{0}=\dfrac{3.70\times10^{6}}{1.55\times10^{-5}}$

$N_{0}=2.38\times10^{11}\ nuclei$

(c). We need to calculate the sample's activity

Using formula of activity

$R=R_{0}e^{-\lambda\times t}$

Put the value intyo the formula

$R=10e^{-(1.55\times10^{-5}\times30\times3600)}$

$R=1.87\ mCi$

Hence, (a). The decay constant is $1.55\times10^{-5}\ s^{-1}$

The half life is 11.3 hr.

(b). The value of N₀ is $2.38\times10^{11}\ nuclei$

(c). The sample's activity is 1.87 mCi.

How far will a car travel if its velocity is 15 m/s in 3 seconds? Follow example below.

svet-max [94.6K]

<h3><u>Solution</u><u>:</u></h3>

Distance (d) = 112 m
Time (t) = 4 seconds
Let the speed be v.
We know, speed = Distance / Time
Therefore, v = d/t

or, v = 112 m ÷ 4 s = 28 m/s

<h3><u>Answer</u><u>:</u></h3>

<u>The </u><u>speed </u><u>of </u><u>the</u><u> </u><u>cheetah</u><u> </u><u>is </u><u>2</u><u>8</u><u> </u><u>m/</u><u>s.</u>

A parallel-plate capacitor is formed from two 1.6 cm -diameter electrodes spaced 2.8 mm apart. The electric field strength insid

lidiya [134]

Answer:

12 nC

Explanation:

Capacity of the parallel plate capacitor

C = ε₀ A/d

ε₀ is constant having value of 8.85 x 10⁻¹² , A area of plate , d is distance between plate

Area of plate = π r²

= 3.14 x (0.8x 10⁻²)²

= 2 x 10⁻⁴

C = ( 8.85 X 10⁻¹² x 2 x 10⁻⁴ ) / 2.8 x 10⁻³

= 7.08 x 10⁻¹³

Potential difference between plate = field strength x distance between plate

= 6 x 10⁶ x 2.8 x 10⁻³

= 16.8 x 10³ V

Charge on plate = CV

=7.08 x 10⁻¹³ X 16.8 X 10³

11.9 X 10⁻⁹ C

12 nC .

What is current of 12 ohm? help me pleasee

worty [1.4K]

1 Ampere

Explanation:

1/R = 1/8 + 1/10 + 1/12
1/R = (30 + 24 + 20) / 240
1/R = 74 / 240
R = 240 / 37
R = 120/37 Ohms
We know that,
V = IR
I = V/R
I = 12 / (120/37)
I = 12 × 37/120
I = 37/10
I = 3.7 A
Now,
The current in 12 ohm resistor →
= 1 A
∴ The current in 12 ohm resistor is 1 ampere
