How long will it take for a radioactive isotope with a decay constant of 0.15 (which means a half life of 4.6 days ) to decay to

5% of its original value?

Radioactive decay is given by:
N = No x e^(-λt)
We know that N/No has to be 0.05
λ = 0.15
0.05 = e^(-0.15t)
t = ln(0.05)/(-0.15)
t = 19.97 days

A 3.0N force to the right acts on a 0.5kg object at rest during a time interval of 4.0 seconds .What is the velocity of the obje
monitta

Answer:

24 m/s

Explanation:

Applying Newton's second law of motion,

F = ma................ Equation 1

Where F = force acting on the object, m = mass of the object a = acceleration of the object.

First we calculate for a.

make a the subject of the formula in equation 1 above

a = F/m............... Equation 2

Given: F = 3 N, m = 0.5 kg.

Substitute into equation 2

a = 3/0.5

a = 6 m/s²

Secondly we calculate the velocity by using,

v = u+at................... Equation 3

Where v = Final velocity of the object, u = initial velocity of the object, t = time interval

Given: u = 0 m/s (at rest), a = 6 m/s², t = 4 s

Substitute into equation 3

v = 0+6(4)

v = 24 m/s

a toy propeller fan with a moment of inertia of .034 kg x m^2 has a net torque of .11Nxm applied to it. what angular acceleratio
Harman [31]

Answer:

The  angular acceleration is  \alpha  = 3.235 \ rad/s ^2

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

    The moment of inertia is  I  =  0.034\ kg \cdot m^2

     The  net torque is  \tau  =  0.11\ N \cdot m

Generally the net torque is mathematically represented as

           \tau =  I  *  \alpha

Where \alpha is the angular acceleration so  

        \alpha  =  \frac{\tau }{I}

substituting values

         \alpha  =  \frac{0.1 1}{ 0.034}

        \alpha  = 3.235 \ rad/s ^2
