Answer:

After 1 half-life (500 years), 500 g of the parent isotope will remain. After 2 half-lives (1000 years), 250 g of the parent isotope will remain. After 3 half-lives (1500 years), 125 g of the parent isotope will remain. After 4 half-lives (2000 years), 62.5 g of the parent isotope will remain.

Kryger [21]

Answer:

the magnitude of the magnetic field is 0.45 mT

Explanation:

Knowing the formula

B = $\frac{m0* (i - i')}{2* Pi* r}$

i = 3A i' = 0A

B = $\frac{4*3.1416e^{-7} * (3-0) }{2*3.1416*0.012}$

B = 0.45 mT

Answer:

x2 = 0.99

Explanation:

from superheated water table

at pressure p1 = 0.6MPa and temperature 200 degree celcius

h1 = 2850.6 kJ/kg

From energy equation we have following relation

$\dot m( h1+\frac{v1^2}{2}+ gz1 )+ Q = \dot m( h2+\frac{v2^2}{2}+ gz1) + W$
