Answer:

$375\:\mathrm{N}$

Explanation:

Work is given by the equation $W=F\Delta x$ . Plugging in given values, we get:

$W=75\cdot 5=\fbox{$ 375\:\mathrm{N}$}$ .

If the total mechanical energy of the system is 100 J: Where does the pendulum have 100 J of kinetic energy? Where does the pend

Katena32 [7]

Answer:

See image and explanation

Explanation:

A simple pendulum consists of a string to which a bulb is attached and the string is tied to a support. The string swings from one end to the other as shown.

At the both ends, the energy of the pendulum is all potential. Hence we have 100J potential energy at both ends.

When the pendulum is in motion, the energy is all kinetic at the center of motion. Hence at that point, we have 100J kinetic energy.

In between both extremes the energy is both kinetic and potential as shown. The total energy is this a summation of the two.

Determine the amount of time for polonium-210 to decay to one fourth its original quantity. The half-life of polonium-210 is 138

ira [324]

Answer: 276 days

Explanation:

This problem can be solved using the Radioactive Half Life Formula:

$A=A_{o}.2^{\frac{-t}{h}}$ (1)

Where:

$A=\frac{1}{4}A_{o}$ is the final amount of the material

$A_{o}$ is the initial amount of the material

$t$ is the time elapsed

$h=138 days$ is the half life of polonium-210

Knowing this, let's substitute the values and find $t$ from (1):

$\frac{1}{4}A_{o}=A_{o}2^{\frac{-t}{138 days}}$ (2)

$\frac{A_{o}}{4A_{o}}=2^{\frac{-t}{138 days}}$ (3)

$\frac{1}{4}=2^{\frac{-t}{138 days}}$ (4)

Applying natural logarithm in both sides:

$ln(\frac{1}{4})=ln(2^{\frac{-t}{138 days}})$ (5)

$-1.386=-\frac{t}{138days}ln(2)$ (6)

Clearing $t$ :

$t=276days$ (7)
