The complete queston is The amount of a radioactive element A at time t is given by the formula

A(t) = A₀e^kt

Answer:  A(t) =N e^( -1.2 X 10^-4t)

Explanation:

Given

Half life =  5730 years.

A(t) =A₀e ^kt

such that

A₀/ 2 =A₀e ^kt

Dividing both sides by A₀

1/2 = e ^kt

1/2 = e ^k(5730)

1/2 = e^5730K

In 1/2 =  5730K

k = 1n1/2 / 5730

k = 1n0.5 / 5730

K= -0.00012 = 1.2 X 10^-4

So that expressing   N in terms of t, we have

A(t) =A₀e ^kt

A₀ = N

A(t) =N e^ -1.2 X 10^-4t

A boy throws a ball with an initial velocity of 19.6 m/s. What maximum height does the ball reach?
Wewaii [24]
<h2>Hello!</h2>

The answer is: 19.59 m

<h2>Why?</h2>

Since there is no information about the launch type, we can assume that the ball is thrown vertically upward.

When the ball reaches the maximum height, just at that moment, the velocity turns to 0, and after that moment, the ball starts falling, so:

We will use the following formula:

Vf^2=Vi^2+2*g*s

Where:

Vf= Final velocity = 0

Vi= Initial velocity = \frac{19.6m}{s}

g = Gravity Acceleration = \frac{9.81m}{s^{2} }

s = Traveled distance

0=19.6^2+2*-9.81*s\\s=\frac{19.6^2}{2*9.81}=\frac{384.16}{19.62}=19.59m

Have a nice day!

A parallel-plate capacitor is connected to a battery and becomes fully charged. The capacitor is then disconnected, and the sepa
AnnZ [28]

Answer:

Increases

Explanation:

The expression for the capacitance is as follows as;

C=\frac{\epsilon _{0}A}{d}

Here, C is the capacitance, \epsilon _{0} is the permittivity of free space, A is the area and d is the distance between the parallel plate capacitor.

It can be concluded from the above expression, the capacitance is inversely proportional to the distance. According to the given problem, the capacitor is disconnected from the battery and the distance between the plates is increased. Then, the capacitance of the given capacitor will decrease in this case.

The expression for the energy stored in the parallel plate capacitor is as follows;

E=\frac{Q^{2}}{2C}

Here, E is the energy stored in the capacitor, C is the capacitance and Q is the charge.

Energy stored in the given capacitor is inversely proportional to the capacitor. The charge on the capacitor is constant. In the given problem, as the distance between the parallel plates is being separated, the energy stored in this capacitor increases.

Therefore, the option (c) is correct.

Calculate the electric field associated to an electric dipole for two charges separated 10-8 m with a dipole moment of 10-33 C m
Alex Ar [27]

Answer:

18 N/C

Explanation:

Given that:

Electric field constant, k = 9*10^9 N/c

Distance, r = 10^-8 m

Dipole moment, p = 10^-33

Using the relation for electric field due to dipole :

E = [2KP / r³]

E = (2 * (9*10^9) * 10^-33) ÷ (10^-8)^3

E = (18 * 10^9 * 10^-33) ÷ 10^-24

E = [18 * 10^(9-33)] ÷ 10^-24

E = (18 * 10^-24) / 10^-24

E = 18 * 10^-24+24

E = 18 * 10^0

E = 18 N/C

The electric field of a sinusoidal electromagnetic wave obeys the equation E=(375V/m)cos[(1.99×107rad/m)x+(5.97×1015rad/s)t].a.
andrey2020 [161]

Answer:

A) max = Eo = 375 V/m, B)  B = 125 10⁻⁸ T , C) f = 9.50 101⁴ Hz, D) λ = 3.158 10⁻⁷ m, E)  T = 1.05 10⁻¹⁵ s , F) invisible for humans   G)  v = c = 3 10⁸ m/s

Explanation:

The expression given for the electric field is

       E = 375 cos (1.99 107x + 5.97 105t)

The general formula for the electric field of a transverse traveler is

     E = Eo cos (kx-wt)

Where k is the wave number and w the angular velocity

A) The amplitudes as electric is

     Emax = Eo = 375 V / m

B) the electric and magnetic field are related

     E / B = c

     B = E / c

     B = 375/3 108

     B = 125 10⁻⁸ T

C) angular velocity and frequency is related

    .w = 2π f

     f = w / 2π

     f = 5.97 10¹⁵ / 2π

     f = 9.50 101⁴ Hz

D) the speed of light has the formula

      c = λ f

      λ = c / f

      λ = 3 10⁸ / 9.50 10¹⁴

      λ = 3.158 10⁻⁷ m

E) The period

     T = 1 / f

     T = 1 / 9.5 10¹⁴

     T = 1.05 10⁻¹⁵ s

F) let's reduce the wavelength nm

   λ = 3.158 10⁻⁷ m (10⁹nm / 1m)

   λ = 3.158 10²nm = 315.3 nm

The visible radiation range is between 400nm and 700nm. This radiation is ultraviolet and is invisible humans

G) All electromagnetic radiation has a speed at the speed of light (c)

      v = c = 3 10⁸ m/s

Solve this system of equations without graphing and show your reasoning <br><br> 5x+y=7<br> 20x+2=y
tatuchka [14]

Answer:

Explanation:

5x + y = 7

20x - y = -2

    25x = 5

        x = (1/5)

5(1/5) + y = 7

1 + y = 7 .

y = 6
