Answer:

The unit is usually seconds. But it really depends on the situation you are in. If you are talking about uranium-238, then you'll be talking about a half life in the billions of years. However, if you are talking about the half-life of a muon, then it'll be in seconds or microseconds.

A light-emitting diode (LED) connected to a 3.0 V power supply emits 440 nm blue light. The current in the LED is 11 mA , and th
zimovet [89]

Answer:

3.73 * 10^16   photons/sec

Explanation:

power supply = 3.0 V

Emits 440 nm blue light

current in LED = 11 mA

efficiency of LED = 51%

<u>Calculate the number of photons per second the LED will emit </u>

first step : calculate the energy of the Photon

E = hc / λ

   =(  6.62 * 10^-34 * 3 * 10^8 )  / 440 * 10^-9

   = 0.0451 * 10^-17  J

Next :

Number of Photon =( power supply * efficiency * current ) / energy of photon

= ( 3 * 0.51 * 11 * 10^-3 ) / 0.0451 * 10^-17

= 3.73 * 10^16 photons/sec

(1 point) Find a linearly independent set of vectors that spans the same subspace of R3R3 as that spanned by the vectors ⎡⎣⎢3−1−
Natalka [10]

Answer:

Explanation:

A=\left[\begin{array}{ccc}3&-9&-3\\-1&2&0\\-2&3&-1\end{array}\right] \\\\R_2\rightarrow 3R_2+R_1,R_3\rightarrow 3R_3+2R_1\\\\=\left[\begin{array}{ccc}3&-9&-3\\0&-3&-3\\0&-9&-9\end{array}\right] \\\\R_3\rightarrow 3R_3-9R_2\\\\=\left[\begin{array}{ccc}3&-9&-3\\0&-3&-3\\0&0&0\end{array}\right]

This is the row echelon form of A. This means that only two of the vectors in our set are linearly independent. In other words, the first two vectors alone will span the same subspace of R^4 as all three vectors.

Therefore, the linearly independent spanning set for the subspace is

\left[\begin{array}{ccc}3\\-1\\-2\end{array}\right] \left[\begin{array}{ccc}-9\\2\\3\end{array}\right] \left[\begin{array}{ccc}3\\0\\-1\end{array}\right]

What force must be exerted on the master cylinder of a hydraulic lift to support the weight of a 2000-kg car (a large car) resti
Nataliya [291]

Archimedes principle states that

 

F1 / A1 = F2 / A2

F2 = (A2 / A1) * F1

 

Also, formula for the force is F = mg. Formula for the area of the cylinder is A = πr^2, therefore we get

 

F2 = (πr2^2 / πr1^2) * mg

 

Since the diameter of the cylinders are 2 cm and 24 cm, r1 = 12 and r2 = 1.

 

Substituting the values to the derived equation, we get

 

F2 = (π 1^2 / π 12^2) * 2400 * 9.8

F2 = 163.3333 N
