Answer:
0.34 sec
Explanation:
Low point of spring ( length of stretched spring ) = 5.8 cm
midpoint of spring = 5.8 / 2 = 2.9 cm
Determine the oscillation period
at equilibrum condition
Kx = Mg
g= 9.8 m/s^2
x = 2.9 * 10^-2 m
k / m = 9.8 / ( 2.9 * 10^-2 ) = 337.93
note : w = =
= 18.38 rad/sec
Period of oscillation =
= 0.34 sec
Answer:
0.0000076 grams
Explanation:
We're given the half life of Tritium to be 12.3 years. In order to find out the amount of substabce remaining:
Let's first find how many 'half lives' are in 250 years.
Now what is half life? It means the time taken for a given quantity of an element to lose half it's mass.
So in 12.3 years we can find that The amount of 250 g of Tritium will be 250/2 = 125 g. In 24.6 years we'll have 125/2 = 62.5 g
So now we can devise a formula:
Where m is the remaining amount and n is th number of half lives in the time given.
Using this formula we can calculate:
Doing this calculation we get:
As we can see a very small value remains.
