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

Answer:

The mass of the block, M =T/(3a +g)  Kg

Explanation:

Given,

The upward acceleration of the block a = 3a

The constant force acting on the block, F₀ = Ma = 3Ma

The mass of the block, M = ?

In an Atwood's machine, the upward force of the block is given by the relation

                                     Ma = T - Mg

                                      M x 3a = T - Ma    

                                    3Ma + Mg = T

                                       M = T/(3a +g)  Kg

Where 'T' is the tension of the string.

Hence, the mass of the block in Atwood's machine is, M = T/(3a +g)  Kg

A hockey puck sliding on a frictionless surface strikes a box at rest. After the collision, the two objects stick together and m
coldgirl [10]

Answer:

Answer:

f) The puck conserves its original momentum but loses some, but not all, of its mechanical energy.

 Explanation:

It is a case of perfectly inelastic collision . So momentum will be conserved because no external force acts on them during the collision . But there will be loss of energy ( kinetic energy ) . It will be in the form of sound or heat that is produced during collision. They will still have some kinetic energy even after the collision.

300 grams of ethanol is heated with 14640 Joules of energy to reach a final temperature of 30 °C. What was the initial temperatu
levacccp [35]

Answer:

10 °C

Explanation:

Applying

q = cm(t₂-t₁)............... Equation 2

Where q = heat energy, c = specific heat of ethanol, m = mass of ethanol, t₁ = initial temperature, t₂ = Final temperature.

Given: c = 2.44 J/g.°C,  m = 300 g, q = 14640 J, t₂ = 30°C

Substitute into equation 2 and solve for t₁

14640 = 2.44×300(30-t₁)

14640 = 732(30-t₁)

732(30-t₁) = 14640

(30-t₁)  = 14640/732

(30-t₁)  = 20

t₁ = 30-20

t₁ = 10 °C

A 4.0-kilogram ball moving at 8.0 m/s to the right collides with a 1.0-kilogram ball at rest. After the collision, the 4.0-kilog
Illusion [34]
Its about momentum. Momentum (p)=mass(m)xvelocity(v)
So for the first ball P=4x8=32kgm/s
For the second the momentum is zero as it is still.
So overall momentum its 32kgm/s
Momentum has to be conserved
After the collision the momentum of the 4kg ball is 4x4.8=19.2kgm/s
As momentum is conserved 32-19.2=12.8kgm/s remaining
So rearrange for velocity so v=p/m=12.8/1=12.8m/s for the 1kg ball

Calculate the energy and power required for a student to bike their way to college from home. The student bikes from home for 0.
gregori [183]

Answer:

Check the explanation

Explanation:

To solve the problem, we need to analyze all forces acting on a bicycle individually. In question, student bikes on flat terrain so gravity force doesn't affect the road load. This is the case of uniform acceleration and deceleration so need to calculate average velocity to find Air resistance.

Kindly check the attached images below to see the step by step explanation to the question above.
