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

2 someone's glasses could fall of because of the inertia
roller coaster is in motion but your glasses are opposing and resisting that motion due to inertia....

1 there is a possibility that electrons move from wheels to the rail and vice versa which also means that it is producing some kind of electrical energy

Why polarization does not occur in dry cell?​
Arisa [49]

Answer:

Manganese oxide prevents polarisation in dry cells. - Polarization is a defect that occurs in simple electric cells due to the accumulation of hydrogen gas around the positive electrode. ... - MnO2 reacts with H2 and forms water as byproduct, so depolarization doesn't occur.
