You are on an interstellar mission from the Earth to the 8,7 light-years distant star Sirius. Your spaceship can travel with 70%

the speed of light and has a cylindrical shape with a diameter of 6 m at the front surface and a length of 25 m. You have to cross the interstellar medium with an approximated density of 1 hydrogen atom/m3 (a) Calculate the time it takes your spaceship to reach Sirius. (b) Determine the mass of interstellar gas that collides with your spaceship during the mission. Note:use 1,673x 10^-27 kg as proton mass

Answer:

Time = 12.43 years

Mass = 4.71.43kg

Explanation:

Given the following :

Distance = 8.7 light years

Speed = 70% the speed of light

Diameter = 6m

Lengtg = 25m

Density = 1 hydrogen atom/m^3

Mass of proton(Me) = 1.673x 10^-27

A.) time it takes your spaceship to reach Sirius :

From the relation: Speed = (distance / time)

Time = distance / speed

Time = (70/100) × 1 light year

Distance = 8.7 light years

Time = 8.7 / 0.7 = 12.4285 years

Time = 12.43 years

B.) Mass of inter-stellar gas that collides with the spaceship can be calcuted by finding the product of the surface area of the cylindrical space ship and the mass of proton.

That is ;

surface area * mass of proton

Surface area of a cylinder = 2πrh + πr^2×Me

= 2πrh + Me×πr^2)

=( 2 × 22/7 × 3 × 25) + (22/7 × 3^2 × 1.673 * 10^-27)

= 2× 235.714 + 28.285) × 1.673 * 10^-27

= 471.428 + 47.31 * 10^-27

= 471.428 + 4.73 × 10^-26

= 4.71.43kg approximately

In 8,450 seconds, the number of radioactive nuclei decreases to 1/16 of the number present initially. What is the half-life (in
almond37 [142]

Answer:

<h2>2113 seconds</h2>

Explanation:

The general decay equation is given as N = N_0e^{-\lambda t} \\\\, then;

\dfrac{N}{N_0} = e^{-\lambda t} \\ where;

N/N_0 is the fraction of the radioactive substance present = 1/16

\lambda is the decay constant

t is the time taken for decay to occur = 8,450s

Before we can find the half life of the material, we need to get the decay constant first.

Substituting the given values into the formula above, we will have;

\frac{1}{16} = e^{-\lambda(8450)}  \\\\Taking\ ln\ of \both \  sides\\\\ln(\frac{1}{16} ) =  ln(e^{-\lambda(8450)})  \\\\\\ln (\frac{1}{16} )  = -8450 \lambda\\\\\lambda = \frac{-2.7726}{-8450}\\ \\\lambda = 0.000328

Half life f the material is expressed as t_{1/2} = \frac{0.693}{\lambda}

t_{1/2} = \frac{0.693}{0.000328}

t_{1/2} = 2,112.8 secs

Hence, the half life of the material is approximately 2113 seconds

We often use a spoon to cool coffee by stirring. Some of the heat is conducted from the coffee to the air by this method, but th
Ilia_Sergeevich [38]

Answer:

Explanation:

heat lost by coffee = heat gain by aluminum spoon

heat lost by coffee = mc ( 85° C - T)

175 ml of water = 175 grams

175 grams = (175 / 1000) kg = 0.175 kg

heat loss by coffee = 0.175 × 4182 J/Kgk ( 85 - T) = 731.85 ( 85-T) = 62207.25 - 731.85 T

heat gain by aluminum spoon = 0.012kg × 897 J/kgK ( T - 22) = 10.764 T - 236.808

10.764 T - 236.808 = 62207.25 - 731.85 T

10.764 T + 731.85 T = 62207.25 + 236.808

T = 84.086 ° C approx 84°C
