Answer:

B) the decay rates of radioactive uranium and lead

Explanation:

As we know that when she found the substance it must have some fixed ratio of radioactive uranium and Lead in that substance.

Here since Uranium is radioactive substance so it will continuously convert into Lead and this ratio will change with time

So here we can say that the ratio of radioactive uranium and lead will depend on its decay rate

now to find the age of the substance we can find the present ratio of lead and uranium in that substance and then compare it with freshly prepared substance.

so by the formula

$t = \frac{1}{\lambda}ln(\frac{N_0}{N})$

we can find the age of the sample

Answer:

B) the decay rates of radioactive uranium and lead

Explanation:

The radioactive decay is modeled using an exponential function with an essential parameter, namely the decay rate. The two rates (for urianium and lead) allow her to determine the number of years that passed since the time the zirconium was formed.

A helium-neon laser emits light of wavelength 632.8 nm and has a power output of 16 mw. how many photons are emitted per second

NemiM [27]

The power of the laser is
$P=16 mW=0.016 W$
by using the relationship between power, energy and time, we can find the energy delivered by the laser in 1 second:
$E=Pt=(0.016 W)(1 s)=0.016 J$

The frequency of the photons of this light is given by
$f= \frac{c}{\lambda}= \frac{3\cdot 10^8 m/s}{632.8 \cdot 10^{-9} m} =4.74 \cdot 10^{14} Hz$
and the energy of a single photon is
$E_1=hf=(6.6\cdot 10^{-34} Js)(4.74 \cdot 10^{14} Hz)=3.13 \cdot 10^{-19} J$

In order to find the number of photons emitted per second, we must divide the total energy emitted by the laser by the energy of a single photon, and we get:
$N= \frac{E}{E_1}= \frac{0.016 J}{3.13 \cdot 10^{-19}J} =5.11 \cdot 10^{16} photons$

g Design an experiment you can use to determine the mass of the metal cylinder. When you explain your experiment, be sure to men

kumpel [21]

Answer:

m = $\frac{k}{g}$ x,

graph of x vs m

Explanation:

For this exercise, the simplest way to determine the mass of the cylinder is to take a spring and hang the mass, measure how much the spring has stretched and calculate the mass, using the translational equilibrium equation

F_e -W = 0

k x = m g

m = $\frac{k}{g}$ x

We are assuming that you know the constant k of the spring, if it is not known you must carry out a previous step, calibrate the spring, for this a series of known masses are taken and hung by measuring the elongation (x) from the equilibrium position, with these data a graph of x vs m is made to serve as a spring calibration.

In the latter case, the elongation measured with the cylinder is found on the graph and the corresponding ordinate is the mass
