Answer:

Option C. ln[Bi]

Explanation:

The nuclear equation of first-order radioactive decay of Bi to Po is:

²¹⁴Bi₈₃  →  ²¹⁴Po₈₄ + e⁻

The radioactive decay is expressed by the following equation:

N_{t} = N_{0}e^{-\lambda t}      (1)  

<em>where Nt: is the number of particles at time t, No: is the initial number of particles, and λ: is the decay constant.     </em>            

<u>To plot the variation of the quantities in function of time, we need to solve equation (1) for t: </u>

Ln(\frac{N_{t}}{N_{0}}) = -\lambda t      (2)

<u>Firts, we need to convert the number of particles of Bi (N) to concentrations, as follows:</u>

[Bi] = \frac {N particles}{N_{A} * V}                            (3)  

[Bi]_{0} = \frac {N_{0} particles}{N_{A} * V}               (4)  

<em>where </em>N_{A}<em>: si the Avogadro constant and V is the volume.</em>

Now, introducing equations (3) and (4) into (2), we have:

Ln (\frac {\frac {[Bi]*N_{A}}{V}}{\frac {[Bi]_{0}*N_{A}}{V}}) = -\lambda t  

Ln (\frac {[Bi]}{[Bi]_{0}}) = -\lambda t      (5)

Finally, from equation (5) we can get a plot of Bi versus time in where the curve is a straight line:

Ln ([Bi]) = -\lambda t + Ln([Bi]_{0})      

Therefore, the correct answer is option C. ln[Bi].

I hope it helps you!

Answer:

(C) ln [Bi]

Explanation:

Radioactive materials will usually decay based on their specific half lives. In radioactivity, the plot of the natural logarithm of the original radioactive material against time will give a straight-line curve. This is mostly used to estimate the decay constant that is equivalent to the negative of the slope. Thus, the answer is option C.

The five type of new communication method (both wire and wireless) are:

  • Social Media
  • SMS Text Messaging
  • Email Marketing
  • Direct Email
  • Voice Calling

<h3>What is a communication?</h3>

This means the act of giving, receiving and sharing of information as well as talking, writing, listening or reading.

The types of Communication includes:

  • Verbal Communication: It occurs when we engage in speaking with others.
  • Non-Verbal Communication: It occurs when what we speak often says more than the actual words.
  • Written Communication: It occurs in an actual text or writing.
  • Listening: It occurs when we pay attention to a speaker.

The wired communication involves transmission of data over a wire-based communication technology while a wireless communication involves transmission of data without the use of a cable or wire.

A wastewater treatment plant discharges 1.0 m3/s of effluent having an ultimate BOD of 40.0 mg/ L into a stream flowingat 10.0 m
kondaur [170]

Answer:

a) 6.4  mg/l

b) 5.6 mg/l

Explanation:

Given data:

effluent Discharge Q_w = 1.0 m^3.s

Ultimate BOD L_w = 40 mg/l

Discharge of stream Q_r = 10 m^3.s

Stream ultimate BOD L_r = 3  mg/l

a) Ultimate BOD of mixture= \frac{Q_w l_w + Q_r L_r}{Q_w + Q_r}

                                         = \frac{1*40 + 10*3}{10 +1} = 6.4 mg/l

b) utlimate BOD at 10,000 m downstream

t =\frac{distance}{speed} = \frac{10,000}{\frac{Q_r +Q+w}{55}} \times \frac{hr}{3600} \times  \frac{day}{24 hr}

putting Q_r + Q_w = 1+ 10 = 11 m^3/s

t = 0.578  days

we know

L_t = L_o e^{-kt}

L_t = 6.4 \times e^{-0.22 \times 0.578}

L_t = 5.6 mg/l

A jet of water 75m in diameter,issues with a velocity of 30m/s and impinge on a stationary plate which distort its forward motio
pashok25 [27]

Forces exerted by the jet on the plate is=3976N

<h3>How to calculate forces exerted by the jet on the plate?</h3>

A force is an effect that can change the motion of an object. A force can generate an object with mass to change its velocity, i.e., to accelerate. Force can also be explained intuitively as a push or a pull. A force has both volume and direction, making it a vector amount.

A jet of water 75m in diameter

velocity = 30m/s

The forces exerted by the jet on the plate is

F=1000×44178×10^-3×30²

=3976N
