If you have 80g of a radioactive substance whose half life is 2 days, how long will it take for the substance to decay to the po

Answer:

6 days.

Explanation:

From radioactivity, The expression for half life is given as,

R/R' = 2⁽ᵃ/ᵇ)................... Equation 1

Where R = original mass of the radioactive substance, R' = Remaining mass of the radioactive substance after decay, a = Total time taken to decay, b = half life.

Given: R = 80 g, R' = 10 g, b = 2 days.

Substitute into equation 1

80/10 = 2⁽ᵃ/²⁾

8 = 2⁽ᵃ/²⁾

2³ = 2⁽ᵃ/²)

Equating the base and solving for a

3 = a/2

a = 2×3

a = 6 days.

A plank of length L=2.200 m and mass M=4.00 kg is suspended horizontally by a thin cable at one end and to a pivot on a wall at
Elenna [48]

The tension in the cable is 23.2 N

<h3>What is the tension in the string?</h3>

The tension in the cable can be resolved into horizontal and vertical forces Tcosθ and Tsinθ respectively.

Tcosθ, is acting perpendicularly, Tcosθ = 0

Taking moments about the pivot:

Tsinθ * 2.2 = 4 * 9.8 * 0.7

Solving for θ;

θ = tan⁻¹(1.4/2.2) = 32.5°

T = 27.44/(sin 32.5 * 2.2)

T = 23.2 N

In conclusion, the tension in the cable is determined by taking moments about the pivot.
