Lead-202 has a half-life of 53,000 years. How long will it take for 15/16 of a sample of lead-202 to decay?

Over the last several decades, scientists have addressed the problem of nonrenewable natural resources such as fossil fuels. Hum

Answer:

Option (C)

Explanation:

The nuclear energy is defined as a type of energy which liberates either by the process of nuclear fusion or nuclear fission and is mainly used to generate electricity. This energy is stored in the core of an atom (or nucleus).

It is highly effective, cost-effective and there is no emission of greenhouse gases.

But it also has some disadvantages, of which one is that it produces radioactive waste materials, which are difficult to dispose these substances and is also a very expensive method. These materials emit radiations that are harmful to the organisms. So, it is very challenging to dispose these radioactive waste materials.

Thus, the correct answer is option (C).

RSB [31]

v1 = 6m/s

v2 = 0

∆v = v1 - v2 = 6m\s

s = t * v = 15m

t = s\v1 = 15(m) \ 6(m\s) = 2.5s

a = ∆v\t = 6(m\s) \ 2.5s = 2.4m\s2

a = F\m = 2.4m\s2

F = a * m = 2.4m\s2 * ?kg

I can't tell you this because I don't know the mass of this cyclist

Answer:

Fe= 28.2 N : Magnitude of the equilibrant (Fe)

β = 18.34° , clockwise from the positive x axis

Explanation:

Concept of the equilibrant

It is called equilibrant to a force with the same magnitude and direction as the resulting one (in case it is non-zero) but in the opposite direction. Adding vectorially to all the forces (that is to say the resulting one) with the equilibrant you get zero

To solve this problem we decompose the forces given into x-y components to find the resulting force:

Look at the attached graphic

F₁= 33.4 N , θ₁=23.8° clockwise from the positive y axis (y+)

F₁x= 33.4 *sin23.8° = 13.48 N

F₁y= 33.4 *cos23.8° =30.6 N

F₂=46.1 N , θ₂=28.8 counterclockwise from the negative x axis (x-)

F₂x= -46.1 *cos28.8° = -40.4 N

F₂y= -46.1 *sin28.8° = -22.2 N

Components of the resultant in x-y R(x,y)

Rx= 13.48 N -40.4 N = - 26.92 N

Ry= 30.6 N -22.2 N = + 8.4 N
