Answer:

The activity of cobalt-60 after 72 hours is 34.895 MBq

Explanation:

A(t) = Ao(0.5)^t/t1/2

A(t) is the activity of cobalt-60 after time t

Ao is the initial activity of cobalt-60 = 35 MBq

t is time taken to reduce in activity = 72 hours = 72/24 = 3 days

t1/2 is the half-life = 0.693 ÷ decay constant = 0.693 ÷ 0.001/day = 693 days

A(72) = 35(0.5)^3/693 = 35 × 0.5^0.00433 = 35 × 0.997 = 34.895 MBq

Increasing the concentration of greenhouse gases in Earth's atmosphere decreases the transparency of the atmosphere to infrared
kondaur [170]

Answer:

Decreases the transparency of the atmosphere to infrared light.

Explanation:

When a large amount of green-house gases are present in the atmosphere, the layer of these gases become opaque to infrared radiation and radiation from the sun get trapped into these gases molecules. These excited molecules radiate this energy into our own atmosphere and that why the temperature of Earth is rising due to the Green-House effect.

The weight of an astronaut plus his space suit on the Moon is only 250 N. (a) How much does the suited astronaut weigh on Earth?
Evgesh-ka [11]

Answer:

a)1500N

b)153.06kg

Explanation:

F = ma

g(moon) = is the acceleration due to gravity on the moon

g(earth) is the acceleration due to gravity on the earth

g(moon) = 1/6g(earth)

g(earth) =6g(moon)

F(gearth) = mg(earth)

               = m 6g(moon)

               = 6 × 250

               = 1500N

b) F(gearth) = mg(earth)

m = F /g

 = 1500/9.8

 = 153.06kg
