A scientist kept 1,000 grams of a radioactive material in a container. After 66 days, he observed that 125 grams of the radioact

ive material was left in the container. Based on the observation, which of these is the most likely inference drawn by the scientist?
Select one:
a. About 500 gram of the material decayed in 33 days.
b. About 500 gram of the material decayed in 44 days.
c. About 62.5 gram of the material will be left in the container after 88 days.
d. About 62.5 gram of the material will be left in the container after 110 days.

The sample appears to have gone through 3 half-lives
1st half life: 1000 to 500 g
2nd half life: 500 to 250 g
3rd half life: 250 to 125 g
The duration of a half-life, therefore, can be inferred to be 66 ÷ (3) = 22 days. 

After a 4th half life, there will be 125÷2= 62.5 g. 
At this point, an additional 22 days will have passed, for a total of 88 days.
Answer is C.

blsea [12.9K]

We have that the electric field at the center of the metal ball due only to the charges on the surface of the metal ball is

E=7*10^{9}N/C

From the question we are told that

A solid metal ball of radius 1.5 cm

bearing a charge of -15 nC is located near a hollow plastic ball of radius 1.9 cm bearing

uniformly distributed charge of -7 nC

The distance between the centers of the balls is 9 cm

Generally the equation for the electric field  is mathematically given as

E=\frac{kq_2}{d^2}\\\\E=\frac{(9*10^9)7*10^{-2}}{9*10^{-2}}\\\\

E=7*10^{9}N/C

What is the longest wavelength of light that will emit electrons from a metal whose work function is?
alexdok [17]
 Best Answer:<span>  </span><span>hf = work function + KE 
However if you are looking at the max wavelength (or threshold frequency) then there will only be just enough energy for the photoelectrons to be liberated, hence their KE will be 0. 
So hf = work function 
convert eV to joules, 2.4 x (1.6 x 10^-19) = 3.84 x 10^-19 
therefore, hf = 3.84 x 10^-19 
f = 3.84 x 10^-19 / planck's constant which is 6.63 x 10^-34 
f = 5.79 x 10^14 Hz 
c = frequency x wavelength, 
wavelength = speed of light/frequency 
= (3x10^8)/(5.79x10^14) 
=5.18 x 10^-7 metres</span>

Are these combination of resistors in series or parallel?
34kurt
These resistors are in series.
Think of it of where the electrons can travel in the system. If there are multiple options for where they can travel then it is parallel, if there are no split paths (only one option) then it is series.

An example of a combination of resistors in parallel: The image you have above, but replace R2 with a wire that continues to the right to a battery. Then resistors R1 and R3 are in parallel.
