What is the resistance of a fluid on an object?

1 answer:

5 0

Fluid resistance refers to the forces a fluid places on a moving object in the opposite direction to the movement, also known as drag. Drag is the force created by a fluid to resist the motion of an object through it. There are 2 main sources of drag: pressure (form) and friction.

which of the following is a balanced chemical equation for the reaction of magnesium with nitrogen gas to form magnesium nitride

ioda

So the unbalanced equation would be Mg + N^2 --> Mg^3N^2

Which means the balanced equation would be 3Mg + N^2 --> Mg^3N^2

This is balance the equation out since you now has 3 magnesium and 2 nitrogen on the left side, and 3 magnesium on 2 nitrogen on the right. Double check my work though, it's been awhile.

Do your cells have access to everything they need over the first 4 or 5 hours that you are lost? Yes or No?

77julia77 [94]

Explanation: cell in the body is enclosed by a cell (Plasma) membrane. The cell membrane separates the material outside the cell, extracellular, from the material inside the cell, intracellular. ... All materials within a cell must have access to the cell membrane (the cell's boundary) for the needed exchange

**Answer**: The answer would be Yes I believe

A certain radioactive isotope decays at a rate of 0.2% annually. Determine the half-life of this isotope, to the nearest year

pychu [463]

Answer:

The half-life of the radioactive isotope is 346 years.

Explanation:

The decay rate of the isotope is modelled after the following first-order linear ordinary differential equation:

$\frac{dm}{dt} = -\frac{m}{\tau}$

Where:

$m$ - Current isotope mass, measured in kilograms.

$t$ - Time, measured in years.

$\tau$ - Time constant, measured in years.

The solution of this differential equation is:

$m(t) = m_{o}\cdot e^{-\frac{t}{\tau} }$

Where $m_{o}$ is the initial mass of the isotope. It is known that radioactive isotope decays at a yearly rate of 0.2 % annually, then, the following relationship is obtained:

$\%e = \frac{m(t)-m(t+1)}{m(t)}\times 100\,\% = 0.2\,\%$

$1 - \frac{m(t+1)}{m(t)} = 0.002$

$1 - \frac{m_{o}\cdot e^{-\frac{t+1}{\tau} }}{m_{o}\cdot e^{-\frac{t}{\tau} }}=0.002$

$1 - e^{-\frac{1}{\tau} } = 0.002$

$e^{-\frac{1}{\tau} } = 0.998$

$-\frac{1}{\tau} = \ln 0.998$

The time constant associated to the decay is:

$\tau = -\frac{1}{\ln 0.998}$

$\tau \approx 499.500\,years$

Finally, the half-life of the isotope as a function of time constant is given by the expression described below:

$t_{1/2} = \tau \cdot \ln 2$

If $\tau \approx 499.500\,years$ , the half-life of the isotope is:

$t_{1/2} = (499.500\,years)\cdot \ln 2$

$t_{1/2}\approx 346.227\,years$

The half-life of the radioactive isotope is 346 years.
