Answer:

5.1 x 10¹⁰s

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Decay constant = 13.6 x 10⁻¹²/s

Unknown:

Half life of the element = ?

Solution:

From the decay constant, we can find the half-life of this radioactive element.

Half-life = $\frac{0.693}{decay constant}$

Half-life = $\frac{0.693}{13.6 x 10^{-12} }$ = 5.1 x 10¹⁰s

A uniform-density 7 kg disk of radius 0.21 m is mounted on a nearly frictionless axle. Initially it is not spinning. A string is

GREYUIT [131]

Answer:

$\omega = 22.67 rad/s$

Explanation:

Here we can use energy conservation

As per energy conservation conditions we know that work done by external source is converted into kinetic energy of the disc

Now we have

$W = \frac{1}{2}I\omega^2$

now we know that work done is product of force and displacement

so here we have

$W = F.d$

$W = (44 N)(0.9 m) = 39.6 J$

now for moment of inertia of the disc we will have

$I = \frac{1}{2}mR^2$

$I = \frac{1}{2}(7 kg)(0.21^2)$

$I = 0.154 kg m^2$

now from above equation we will have

$39.6 = \frac{1}{2}(0.154)\omega^2$

$\omega = 22.67 rad/s$

A hamster eats a carrot before using its hamster wheel. The hamster wheel is connected to a generator which powers a light bulb.

Andrei [34K]

Answer: Chemical → Mechanical → Electrical → Radiant

Explanation:

First, the Hamster eats the carrot, then the hamster is getting chemical energy.

Now the hamster starts using his wheel, then he "transforms" the chemical energy into mechanical energy.

Now the mechanical energy is connected to a generator, this means that the mechanical energy (the rotation of the wheel) is being converted into electrical energy.

And we know that there is a light bulb powered by this electrical energy, then we have electrical energy being transformed into radiant energy.

Then the correct option is:

Chemical → Mechanical → Electrical → Radiant

A bus took 8 hours to travel 639 km. For the first 5 hours, it

vladimir1956 [14]

Answer:

93 km/h

Explanation:

Given that a bus took 8 hours to travel 639 km. For the first 5 hours, it travelled at an average speed of 72 km/h

Let the first 5 hours journey distance = F

From the formula of speed,

Speed = distance/time

Substitute speed and time

72 = F/5

F = 72 × 5 = 360 km

The remaining distance will be:

639 - 360 = 279km

The remaining time will be:

8 - 5 = 3 hours

Speed = 279/3

Speed = 93 km/h

Therefore, the average speed for the remaining time of the journey is equal to 93 km/h
