The half life of radium 222 is 38 seconds if you had a 12 gram sample how much would be left after 72 seconds

Physics

poizon [28]3 years ago

<span>3.2 grams The first thing to do is calculate how many half lives have expired. So take the time of 72 seconds and divide by the length of a half life which is 38 seconds. So 72 / 38 = 1.894736842 So we're over 1 half life, but not quite 2 half lives. So you'll have something less than 12/2 = 6 grams, but more than 12/4 = 3 grams. The exact answer is done by dividing 12 by 2 raised to the power of 1.8947. So let's calculate 2^1.8947 power = 12 g / (e ^ ln(2)*1.8947) = 12 g / (e ^ 0.693147181 * 1.8947) = 12 g / (e ^ 1.313305964) = 12 g / 3.718446464 = 3.227154167 g So rounded to 2 significant figures gives 3.2 grams.</span>

A nurse pushes a cart by exerting a force on the handle at a downward angle of 36 degrees below the horizontal. the loaded cart
Troyanec [42]

Since it was stated that it must move at constant velocity, so the only force it must overpower is the frictional force.

So the equation is:

F cos θ = Ff

F cos 36 = 65 N

F = 80.34 N

 

<span>So the nurse must exert 80.34 N of force</span>

enyata [817]

If the car's motion appears as a horizontal line on a <u><em>position-time </em></u>graph, it shows that as time changes, the car's position doesn't change.

This is just a complicated way to say that the car is <em>not moving</em>.<em> (A)</em>
