Answer:

209.68 years

Explanation:

Let T be the half life.

t = 1 year

N = 99.67 % of No = 0.9967 No

Use the law of radioactivity

N = No x e ^(- λ t)

Where, λ is decay constant.

λ = 0.6931 / T

So,

0.9967 No = No x e^(- λ t)

0.9967 = e^(- λ t)

e^( λ t) = 1 / 0.9967 = 1.0033

 λ t = 3.3 x 10^-3

(0.6931 x 1) / T = 3.3 x 10^-3

T = 209.68 years

Thus, the halflife is 209.68 years.

larisa [96]

I attached the requested diagram.

<em>In the case of the magnetic field in a bar</em> by convention, the direction of the field is taken out of the north pole and towards the south pole of the magnet. These types of images are commonly made of some ferrous material.

<em>In the case of the horseshoe </em>magnet, the highly concentrated magnetic field is distinguished between its legs. In the figure it is shown in a contribution from North to South, again by agreement, however outside the two poles, the magnetic field falls rapidly. A horseshoe magnet is basically a bent bar magnet.

The tub of a washer goes into its spin-dry cycle, starting from rest and reaching an angular speed of 2.0 rev/s in 10.0 s. At th
Arte-miy333 [17]

Answer:

22 revolutions

Explanation:

2 rev/s = 2*(2π rad/rev) = 12.57 rad/s

The angular acceleration when it starting

\alpha_a = \frac{\Delta \omega}{\Delta t} = \frac{12.57}{10} = 1.257 rad/s^2

The angular acceleration when it stopping:

\alpha_o = \frac{\Delta \omega}{\Delta t} = \frac{-12.57}{12} = -1.05 rad/s^2

The angular distance it covers when starting from rest:

\omega^2 - 0^2 = 2\alpha_a\theta_a

\theta_a = \frac{\omega^2}{2\alpha_a} = \frac{12.57^2}{2*1.257} = 62.8 rad

The angular distance it covers when coming to complete stop:

0 - \omega^2 = 2\alpha_o\theta_o

\theta_o = \frac{-\omega^2}{2\alpha_o} = \frac{-12.57^2}{2*(-1.05)} = 75.4 rad

So the total angular distance it covers within 22 s is 62.8 + 75.4 = 138.23 rad or 138.23 / (2π) = 22 revolutions

wariber [46]

Explanation:

A chemical reaction is a reaction in which two or more species combine together to form a molecule with a new chemical composition.

In a chemical reaction, the reactants are written on left hand side pointing a forward arrow towards the products which are written on the right hand side.

For example, chemical reaction between hydrogen and oxygen will result in the formation of water. The reaction equation will be as follows.

          2H_{2} + O_{2} \rightarrow 2H_{2}O
