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

The pressure on a balloon holding 356 mL of an ideal gas is increased from 267 torr to 1.00 atm. What is the new volume of the b
Natalija [7]

Answer:

124.52 mL

Explanation:

from Boyle's Law,

PV = P'V' ................... Equation 1

Where P = Initial pressure of the gas, V = Initial volume of the gas, P' = Final pressure of the gas, V' = Final volume of the gas.

make V' the subject of the equation.

V' = PV/P'............. Equation 2

Given: P = 267 torr = (267×0.00131) = 0.34977 atm, V = 356 mL, P' = 1 atm

Substitute into equation 2

V' = (0.34977×356)/1

V' = 124.52 mL.

Hence the new volume of the balloon = 124.52 mL

What is the difference between light energy and heat energy​
MrRissso [65]

ANSWER:

What is the difference between heat and light? - Physics Stack ... Heat and light are different but they are both forms of energy. Heat is a form of kinetic energy contained in the random motion of the particles of a material. Light is a form of electromagnetic energy. As with other forms of energy, heat energy can be transformed into light energy and vice versa.

Recently, astronomers have observed stars and other objects that orbit the center of the Milky Way Galaxy farther out than our S
Lesechka [4]

Answer:

That scenario can be explained by the idea of the contribution of dark matter on that point.

Explanation:

It can be explained through the idea of dark matter, this one was born to explain why stars (or any object) that were farther for the supermassive black hole in the center of the Milky Way galaxy didn't decrease it rotational velocity as it was expected according to equation 1.

v = \sqrt{\frac{G M}{r}}  (1)

Where v is the rotational velocity, G is the gravitational constant, M is the mass of the supermassive black hole, and r is the orbital radius.

Notice, that If the distance increases the orbital speed decreases (inversely proportional).
