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.

A proton moving at 3.0 × 10^4 m/s is projected at an angle of 30° above a horizontal plane. If an electric field of 400 N/C is a
GuDViN [60]

Answer:

The time it takes the proton to return to the horizontal plane is 7.83 X10⁻⁷ s

Explanation:

From Newton's second law, F = mg and also from coulomb's law F= Eq

Dividing both equations by mass;

F/m = Eq/m = mg/m, then

g = Eq/m --------equation 1

Again, in a projectile motion, the time of flight (T) is given as

T = (2usinθ/g) ---------equation 2

Substitute in the value of g into equation 2

T = \frac{2usin \theta}{\frac{Eq}{m}} =\frac{m* 2usin \theta}{Eq}

Charge of proton = 1.6 X 10⁻¹⁹ C

Mass of proton = 1.67 X 10⁻²⁷ kg

E is given as 400 N/C, u = 3.0 × 10⁴ m/s and θ = 30°

Solving for T;

T = \frac{(1.67X10^{-27}* 2*3X10^4sin 30}{400*1.6X10^{-19}}

T = 7.83 X10⁻⁷ s

10. Hamilton How long does it take Lewis travelling at 156 m.p.h to cover 16 miles?
Anvisha [2.4K]

Answer: Hello!

Lewis is travelling at 165 mph, which means miles per hour, this says that he does 165 miles in one hour.

We want to know how much time takes to cover 16 miles.

this can be calculated as the quotient of the distance and the velocity; this is:

t = \frac{16 mi}{165 mi/h} = 0.096 h

if we want to write this in minutes, then:

we know that one hour has 60 minutes, then 0.096 hours has:

0.096h*60mins/1h = 5.8 minutes.

then Lewis needs 5.8 minutes in order to cover 16 miles if his speed is 156 miles per hour.

The 88-lb force P is applied to the 210-lb crate, which is stationary before the force is applied. Determine the magnitude and d
Marina86 [1]

Answer:

F=-88Ib

Explanation:

From the question we are told that:

Force P=88Ib

Mass of crate M_c=210Ib

Generally the equation for Frictional force F is mathematically given by

Friction\ force (f) = friction\ coefficient\ (u) * Normal\ reaction (N)

F=u*N

with \mu =0.47

F=98.7Ib

Therefore since Static Friction supersedes applied force body remains at rest.

Frictional force =88Ib (negative)

F=-88Ib
