In an atomic clock there are approximately 9.193 × 109oscillations of the specified light emitted by cesium-133 atoms. The text

describes the typically accuracy of atomic clocks in terms of two atomic clocks differing by only one second in 6000 years. Assume one of the clocks gains one second in six thousand years, approximately what is the change in the number of oscillations of the light each second?

Explanation:

6000 years = 6000 x 365 x 24 x 60 x 60

= 1.892 x 10¹¹ second

 gain is 1 second

1 second is equivalent to 9.193 × 10⁹ oscillations .

In 1.892 x 10¹¹ second ,  change in oscillation is 9.193 × 10⁹ oscillation

in one second change in oscillation = (9.193 / 1.892 ) x 10⁹⁻¹¹

=  4.859 x 10⁻² oscillations .

The half-life of Co-55 is 175 hours. How much of a 4000 g of Cobalt-55 sample would be left after 525 hours?
Harrizon [31]

We know that whatever amount we start with, half of it decays and forms atoms of other elements in 175 hours.  So in order to figure out how much is left after 525 hours, we'll need to know how many half-lifes pass in that amount of time.

Well, (525 divided by 175) is exactly 3 half-lifes.  So this will be easy.

-- After 1 half-life . . .

. . . . . 50% decays, 50% is still there.

-- After the 2nd half-life . . .

. . . . . (half of the leftover 50%) = another 25% decays, 25% is left.

-- After the 3rd half-life . . .

. . . . . (half of the leftover 25%) = another 12.5% decays, 12.5% is left.

12.5% of 4,000g = (0.125 x 4,000g) = <em>500 g</em> .

============================================

<u>Another way</u>:

After 1 half-life, 1/2 is left.

After 2 half-lifes, 1/4 is left.

After 3 half-lifes, 1/8 is left.

1/8 of 4,000g = (4,000g/8) = <em>500 g </em>.

A. What did the neuron say to the muscle say? (Use your basic physiological knowledge, such as the function of
Romashka-Z-Leto [24]

Answer:

Somatic motor neurons originate in the central nervous system, project their axons to skeletal muscles (such as the muscles of the limbs, abdominal, and intercostal muscles), which are involved in locomotion.

Explanation:

Muscles move on commands from the brain. Single nerve cells in the spinal cord, called motor neurons, are the only way the brain connects to muscles. When a motor neuron inside the spinal cord fires, an impulse goes out from it to the muscles on a long, very thin extension of that single cell called an axon.

A 6.72 particle moves through a region of space where an electric field of magnitude 1270 N/C points in the positive direction,
Romashka [77]

Answer:

                    v_{y}  = -104 m/s

Explanation:

Using:

Force = electric field * charge

F=e*q

Force = magnitude of charge * velocity * magnetic field * sin tither

F_{x2}= |q|*v*B*sin \alpha

Force on particle due to electric field:

     F_{x1}= E*q = (1270N/C)*(-6.72*10^{-6} ) = -8.53*10^{-3}

Force on particle due to magnetic field:

F_{x2}= |q|*v*B*sin \alpha  = (6.72*10^{-6} )*(1.15)*(sin90)*v = (7.728*10^{-6})*(v)

F_{x2} is in the positive x direction as F_{x1} is in the negative x direction while net force is in the positive x direction.

Magnetic field is in the positive Z direction, net force is in the positive x direction.

According to right hand rule, Force acting on particle is perpendicular to the direction of magnetic field and velocity of particle. This would mean the force is along the y-axis. As this is a negatively charged particle, the direction of the velocity of the particle is reversed. Therefore velocity of particle, v, has to be in the negative y direction.

Now,

                    F_{xnet}- F_{x1 } = F_{x2 }

                    (6.13*10^{-3}) - (8.53*10^{-3} ) = (7.728*10^{-6})*(v)

                    v = (F_{xnet}  - F_{x1}) / (F_{x2} )

                        =((6.13*10^{-3} ) - (8.53*10^{-3})) / (7.728*10^{-6})

                       = (- 104.25) m/s

                      v_{y}  = -104 m/s

A ball of mass 0.160 kg is dropped from a height of 2.25 m. When it hits the ground it compresses 0.087 m.
Studentka2010 [4]

A) 6.64 m/s downward

B) 0.026 s

C) -40.9 N

Explanation:

A)

We can solve this problem by using the law of conservation of energy.

In fact, since the total mechanical energy of the ball must be conserved, this means that the initial gravitational potential energy of the ball before the fall is entirely converted into kinetic energy just before it reaches the floor.

So we can write:

PE=KE\\mgh = \frac{1}{2}mv^2

where

m = 0.160 kg is the mass of the ball

g=9.8 m/s^2 is the acceleration due to gravity

h = 2.25 m is the initial height of the ball

v is the final velocity of the ball before hitting the ground

Solving for v, we find:

v=\sqrt{2gh}=\sqrt{2(9.8)(2.25)}=6.64 m/s

And the direction of the velocity is downward.

B)

The motion of the ballduring the collision is a uniformly accelerated motion (= with constant acceleration), so the time of impact can be found by using a suvat equation:

s=(\frac{u+v}{2})t

where:

v is the final velocity

u is the initial velocity

s is the displacement of the ball during the impact

t is the time

Here we have:

u = 6.64 m/s is the velocity of the ball before the impact

v = 0 m/s is the final velocity after the impact (assuming it comes to a stop)

s = 0.087 m is the displacement, as the ball compresses by 0.087 m

Therefore, the time of the impact is:

t=\frac{2s}{u+v}=\frac{2(0.087)}{0+6.64}=0.026 s

C)

The force exerted by the floor on the ball can be found using the equation:

F=\frac{\Delta p}{t}

where

\Delta p is the change in momentum of the ball

t is the time of the impact

The change in momentum can be written as

\Delta p = m(v-u)

So the equation can be rewritten as

F=\frac{m(v-u)}{t}

Here we have:

m = 0.160 kg is the mass of the ball

v = 0 is the final velocity

u = 6.64 m/s is the initial velocity

t = 0.026 s is the time of impact

Substituting, we find the force:

F=\frac{(0.160)(0-6.64)}{0.026}=-40.9 N

And the sign indicates that the direction of the force is opposite to the direction of motion of the ball.
