CALCULATING HALF LIFE

Physics
1 answer:
olga2289 [7]3 years ago
7 0

Answer:

N = 500Bq

Explanation:

No = 2000Bq

Time (T) = 10years

T½ = 5 years.

N = ?

T½ = In2 / λ

T½ = 0.693 / λ

λ = 0.693 / t½

λ = 0.693 / 5

λ = 0.1386

The ratio between the two activities is

(N / No) = e⁻^λt

N = No * e⁻^λt

N = 2000 * e^⁻⁰.¹³⁸⁶ * ¹⁰

N = 2000 * e⁻¹.³⁸⁶

N = 2000 * 0.25

N = 500Bq

The activity of Co-60 after 10 years would be 500Bq

Consider two points in an electric field. The potential at point 1, V1, is 33 V. The potential at point 2, V2, is 175 V. An elec
Mnenie [13.5K]

Answer:

ΔU  = e(V₂ - V₁) and its value ΔU = -2.275 × 10⁻²¹ J

Explanation:

Since the electric potential at point 1 is V₁ = 33 V and the electric potential at point 2 is V₂ = 175 V, when the electron is accelerated from point 1 to point 2, there is a change in electric potential ΔV which is given by ΔV = V₂ - V₁.

Substituting the values of the variables into the equation, we have

ΔV = V₂ - V₁.

ΔV = 175 V - 33 V.

ΔV = 142 V

The change in electric potential energy ΔU = eΔV = e(V₂ - V₁) where e = electron charge = -1.602 × 10⁻¹⁹ C and ΔV = electric potential change from point 1 to point 2 = 142 V.

So, substituting the values of the variables into the equation, we have

ΔU = eΔV

ΔU = eΔV

ΔU = -1.602 × 10⁻¹⁹ C × 142 V

ΔU = -227.484 × 10⁻¹⁹ J

ΔU = -2.27484 × 10⁻²¹ J

ΔU ≅ -2.275 × 10⁻²¹ J

So, the required equation for the electric potential energy change is

ΔU  = e(V₂ - V₁) and its value ΔU = -2.275 × 10⁻²¹ J
