Answer:

The correct option is;

a. 12.5 g

Explanation:

The given parameters are;

The initial mass of the radioactive substance = 200 g

The half life of the radioactive substance = 50 years

The time duration for the disintegration = 200 years

The formula for half life is given as follows;

N(t) = N_0 \left (\dfrac{1}{2} \right )^{\dfrac{t}{t_{1/2}}

Where:

N(t) = Quantity of the remaining substance

N₀ = Initial radioactive substance quantity  = 200 g

t = Time duration  = 200 years

 

t_{1/2} = Half life of the radioactive substance  50 years

Therefore, we have;

N(t) =200 \times \left (\dfrac{1}{2} \right )^{\dfrac{200}{50} } =200 \times \left (\dfrac{1}{2} \right )^4 = 12.5 \ g

Therefore, at the end of 200 years, the quantity left = 12.5 g.

Answer:

Energy of Photon = 4.091 MeV

Explanation:

From the conservation of energy principle, we know that total energy of the system must remain conserved. So, the energy or particles before collision must be equal to the energy of photons after collision.

K.E OF electron + Rest Energy of electron + K.E of positron + Rest Energy of positron = 2(Energy of Photon)

where,

K.E OF electron = 3.58 MeV

Rest Energy of electron = 0.511 MeV

Rest Energy of positron = 0.511 MeV

K.E OF positron = 3.58 MeV

Energy of Photon = ?

Therefore,

3.58 MeV + 0.511 MeV + 3.58 MeV + 0.511 MeV = 2(Energy of Photon)

Energy of Photon = 8.182 MeV/2

<u>Energy of Photon = 4.091 MeV</u>

Which of the following are basic principles that apply to circuits? Choose the 2 correct answers from the choices below.
marta [7]

The basic principles that apply to circuits is that electrons must receive energy from a source, and electrons transfer energy to perform some useful function.

<h3 /><h3>What is circuit?</h3>

Individual electronic components, like resistors, transistors, are connected by metallic wires or traces by which the electric current can flow to form a circuit design.

The basic principles that apply to circuits will be;

1. Electrons must receive energy from a source.

2. Electrons transfer energy to perform some useful function.

Hence, option 1 and 2 are correct.

Which one of the following energy conversion devices has the lowest energy efficiency?
Anna35 [415]

Answer:

A) incandescent ligth bulb, its efficiency is about 10%

Explanation:

The incandescent bulb, that is, the well-known focus with its warm light, was one of the most useful inventions of the 19th century although its use is currently considered very inefficient. These lamps waste between 80 and 90 percent of the total electricity they consume by turning it into heat. The metal filament thus heated and which is the central part of the bulb, only converts the remaining energy into light. Its service life ranges from 750 to 1,000 hours.

This is why they are used in ovens for food preparation, because of the large amount of heat they generate.

The steam boiler in a power plant depends on the fuel that it is using, but a coal-fired power plant with modern technology its efficiency is about 40%

Electric motor are around 85-92%

In order to better understand the concept of efficiency it is as if we pay 100 dollars of gasoline for our weekly use, but of that 100 dollars the car only uses 10 dollars to do that activity the rest of the money the 90 dollars were lost because of the inefficiencies of the vehicle.

True or false conceptual physics 2 questions from chapter 25.
Arlecino [84]

Answer:

Explanation:

1) TRUE; potential difference can be calculated using path integral. Since the electric field is a conservative, the potential difference can be calculated using any path.

2) TRUE; since potential due to a charge is inversely dependent on distance, at infinity the potential will be almost zero.

3) TRUE, W = q.VBA.

4) FALSE; eV is a unit for work (or) energy.

5) TRUE; since the electric force is conservative force. There will be no loss in energy, the decreased potential energy will be coverted to kinetic energy.

6) FALSE; in the direction of electric field the potential decreases.

7) FALSE; equipotential surface is perpendicular to the electric field lines.

8) FALSE; electrostatic potential is scalar quantity. It depends only on the charge and distance from it.

9) FALSE; Inside a conductor the electric field is zero but the electric potential is constant at the value that is at the surface of the conductor.

10) TRUE; as long as the field is being measured outiside the body the bodies act as point charges. So electric fields due to all types of bodies charged identically will be equal.
