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
1 answer:
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 11.0 kg satellite has a circular orbit with a period of 1.80 h and a radius of 7.50 × 106 m around a planet of unknown mass. I
Anuta_ua [19.1K]

Answer:

Explanation:

Expression for times period of a satellite can be given as follows

Time period T = 1.8 x 60 x 60

= 6480

T² = \frac{4\times \pi^2\times r^3}{GM} where T is time period , r is radius of orbit , G is gravitational constant and M is mass of the satellite.

6480² = 4 x 3.14² x 7.5³ x 10¹⁸ / GM

GM = 4 x 3.14² x 7.5³ x 10¹⁸ / 6480²

= 3.96 X 10¹⁴

Expression for acceleration due to gravity

g = GM / R² where R is radius of satellite

20 = 3.96 X 10¹⁴ / R²

R² = 3.96 X 10¹⁴ / 20

= 1.98 x 10¹³ m

R= 4.45 x 10⁶ m
