The rubidium isotope 87Rb is a β emitter that has a half-life of 4.9 ✕ 1010 y that decays into 87Sr. It is used to determine the

age of rocks and fossils. Rocks containing the fossils of early animal have a ratio of 87Sr to 87Rb of 0.0040. Assuming that there was no 87Sr present when the rocks were formed, calculate the age of the fossils.

Answer:

t = 39.04 1010 year

Explanation:

This is a nuclear disintegration exercise that is governed by the equation.

     N = N0 e (-lam t)

The average life time is related to nuclear activity

      T ½ = ln 2 / lam

Let's use these two equations for exercise, let's start by finding nuclear activity

     Lam = ln 2 / T ½

     Lam = ln 2 / 4.9 10 10

    Lam = 0.14146 10-10 y-1

They tell us that the relationship atoms

      No / N = 0.0040

Let's look

       No / N = 1/0040

       N/No = 250                                                                                                                                                                                

Let's calculate the time

       (-lam t) = ln (N / No)

,        t = - 1 / lam ln (n / No)

        t = - 1 / 0.14146 10-10 ln (250)

        t = 39.04 1010 year

The high-pressure air storage tank for a supersonic wind tunnel has a volume of 1000 ft3. If air is stored at a pressure of 30 A
Yuri [45]

Answer:

69.86 slugs

Explanation:

From the ideal gas equation

PV = nRT

n (number of moles) = PV/RT

P is pressure of the gas = 30 atm = 30×101325 = 3,039,750 Pa

V is volume of the gas = 1000 ft^3 = 1000/3.2808^3 = 28.32 m^3

R is gas constant = 8.314 J/mol.K

T is the temperature of the gas = 530 R = 5/9 × 530 = 294.44 K

n = 3,039,750×28.32/8.314×294.44 = 35166.11 mol

mass = n× MW

MW of air = 29 g/mol

mass = 35166.11 × 29 = 1019817.19 g × 0.0685 slug/1000 g = 69.86 slugs

ELEN [110]

Answer:

Average current produced by the repeated transfer of charge is 5.6 × 10⁻⁷ ampere

Explanation:

The formula to be used here is

Q = It

where Q is the quantity of electricity and it is measured coulombs (C); 2.8 × 10⁻⁸ C or 0.000000028 C

I is current and it is measured in ampere (amps or A); unknown

t is time and it is measured in seconds (s); 0.05 s

Since, average current is what is unknown

I =Q/t

I = 0.000000028/0.05

I = 5.6 × 10⁻⁷ A

Average current produced by the repeated transfer of charge is 5.6 × 10⁻⁷ ampere

PROBLEMA DI FISICA:il volume di un attizzatoio da camino in ferro, a temperatura ambiente (20°C), è 12,2 cm cubi. A contatto con
lesantik [10]

Responder:

20.3 ° C

Explicación:

<u>Según la ley de Charles</u>: <em>cuando la presión sobre una muestra de gas seco se mantiene constante, la temperatura y el volumen estarán en proporción directa. </em>

Paso uno:

datos dados

Temperatura T1 = 20 ° C

Temperatura T2 =?

Volumen V1 = 12.2 cm ^ 3

Volumen V2 = 12.4 cm ^ 3

Aplicar la relación temperatura y volumen

\frac {V_{1}}{T_{1}}=\frac {V_{2}}{T_{2}}

sustituyendo tenemos

\frac {12.2}{20}=\frac {12.4}{T_{2}}\\\\

Cruz multiplicar tenemos

T_2=\frac{20*12.4}{12.2} \\\\T_2=\frac{248}{12.2}\\\\T_2=20.3

Temperatura delle braci 20.3°C
