A 0.40-kg mass attached to the end of a string swings in a vertical circle having a radius of 1.8 m. At an instant when the stri

san4es73 [151]

Answer:

T = 8.55 N

Explanation:

When string makes an angle 40 degree with the vertical then it will have two forces on it

1) gravitational force (mg)

2) Tension force in string (T)

now we know that net force towards the center of the path is known as centripetal force and it is given as

$T - mg cos40 = F_c$

$T - (0.40\times 9.8)cos40 = \frac{mv^2}{L}$

$T = 3 + \frac{0.40\times 5^2}{1.8}$

$T = 3 + 5.55$

$T = 8.55 N$

How does a gas do work?

Triss [41]

Your answer would be C, "By conserving energy"! A gas can do work through something called the First Law of Thermodynamics. Heat that energy used by the gas during this "work" cannot be created or destroyed however it can be transferred and converted. This energy can only be stored during these processes, not removed. An example of this would be gas in a cylindrical object such as a piston. When the gas is heated, it expands and moves the piston upwards. When it expands, it stores that energy it gains through the heat given.

I hope this helps! (:

Suppose a small quantity of radon gas, which has a half-life of 3.8 days, is accidentally released into the air in a laboratory.

Daniel [21]

Answer:

1 day

Explanation:

Let the safe level = x

The current level = x + 0.2x = 1.2 x

Thus,

Half life = 3.8 days

$t_{1/2}=\frac {ln\ 2}{k}$

Where, k is rate constant

So,

$k=\frac {ln\ 2}{t_{1/2}}$

$k=\frac {ln\ 2}{3.8}\ days^{-1}$

The rate constant, k = 0.1824 days⁻¹

Using integrated rate law for first order kinetics as:

$[A_t]=[A_0]e^{-kt}$

Where,

$[A_t]$ is the concentration at time t

$[A_0]$ is the initial concentration

So,

$\frac {[A_t]}{[A_0]}$ = x / 1.2 x = 0.8333

t = ?

$\frac {[A_t]}{[A_0]}=e^{-k\times t}$

$0.8333=e^{-0.1824\times t}$

t ≅ 1 day

<u>Lab must be vacated in 1 day.</u>

Place the types of radiation in order of INCREASING mass.

lubasha [3.4K]

Answer & explanation:

Gamma Radiation (γ): Also called gamma rays. Gamma radiation is made of electromagnetic waves, has zero charge and mass, continuously emits heat and has the ability to ionize air and make it conductive of electric current.

Beta radiation (β): Beta rays or beta particles, are electrons, negative particles with charge - 1 and mass number 0.
Alpha radiation (α): Also called alpha particles or alpha rays, are particles charged by two protons and two neutrons. They have positive charge +2 and mass number 4.
