Answer:

The correct answer is "22.27 hours".

Explanation:

Given that:

Radioactive isotope activity,

= 490,000 Bq

Activity,

= 110,000 Bq

Time,

= 48 hours

As we know,

⇒ A = A_0 e^{- \lambda t}

or,

⇒ \frac{A}{A_0}=e^{-\lambda t}

By taking "ln", we get

⇒ ln \frac{A}{A_0}=- \lambda t

By substituting the values, we get

⇒ -ln \frac{110000}{490000} = -48 \lambda

⇒    -1.4939=-48 \lambda

                 \lambda = 0.031122

As,

⇒ \lambda = \frac{ln_2}{\frac{T}{2} }

then,

⇒ \frac{ln_2}{T_ \frac{1}{2} } =0.031122

⇒ T_\frac{1}{2}=\frac{ln_2}{0.031122}

         =22.27 \ hours

A hollow spherical shell has mass 8.20 kg and radius 0.220 m. It is initially at rest and then rotates about a stationary axis t
Likurg_2 [28]

Answer:

8.91 J

Explanation:

mass, m = 8.20 kg

radius, r = 0.22 m

Moment of inertia of the shell, I = 2/3 mr^2

                                                    = 2/3 x 8.2 x 0.22 x 0.22 = 0.265 kgm^2

n = 6 revolutions

Angular displacement, θ = 6 x 2 x π = 37.68 rad

angular acceleration, α = 0.890 rad/s^2

initial angular velocity, ωo = 0 rad/s

Let the final angular velocity is ω.

Use third equation of motion

ω² = ωo² + 2αθ

ω² = 0 + 2 x 0.890 x 37.68

ω = 8.2 rad/s

Kinetic energy,

K = \frac{1}{2}I\omega ^{2}

K = 0.5 x 0.265 x 8.2 x 8.2

K = 8.91 J

Hello,Plz Help Which conditions are necessary for rain to form?
dimulka [17.4K]
Vas happenin!
The third one makes no since because the clouds carry the rain. It isn’t always cold when it’s going to rain

The fourth one is a good one

The second one again it’s not always cold when it’s raining

The first one could be it also

Hmmm I would go with the last one

Sorry if it’s wrong
