If I remember correctly (from my studies long time ago) the layers are from the outer to the center:
SiAl : Silicon-Aluminum
SiMa : Silicon-Magnesium (although should be Mg)
NiFe : Nickel-Iron
The SiMa layer should have the lightest elements (Magnesium is lighter than Aluminum)
Answer:
Resistance of the iron rod, R = 0.000077 ohms
Explanation:
It is given that,
Area of iron rod,
Length of the rod, L = 35 cm = 0.35 m
Resistivity of Iron,
We need to find the resistance of the iron rod. It is given by :
So, the resistance of the rod is 0.000077 ohms. Hence, this is the required solution.
Answer:
Explanation:
The relation between activity and number of radioactive atom in the sample is as follows
dN / dt = λ N where λ is disintegration constant and N is number of radioactive atoms
For the beginning period
dN₀ / dt = λ N₀
58.2 = λ N₀
similarly
41 = λ N
dividing
58.2 / 41 = N₀ / N
N = N₀ x .70446
formula of radioactive decay
- λ t = ln .70446 = - .35
t = .35 / λ
λ = .693 / half life
= .693 / 5715
= .00012126
t = .35 / .00012126
= 2886.36
= 2900 years ( rounding it in two significant figures )
