SIZIF [17.4K]3 years ago
6 0

Answer:

1.625g

Explanation:

The half - life of a radioactive substance is the time taken for half of it to decay to half of its original composition.

 For the given specie, the original composition is 26g  and the half life is 15hrs:

                At time 0hrs                    Mass  = 26g

For the first half life at time 15hrs         Mass  = 13g

                                             30hrs        Mass  = 6.5g

                                              45hrs        Mass = 3.25g

                                              60hrs        Mass  = 1.625g

A compressed gas cylinder containing 1.50 mol methane has a volume of 3.30 L. What pressure does the methane exert on the walls
sweet-ann [11.9K]

Answer:

P=11.126 atm

Explanation:

We are given that a compressed gas cylinder containing 1.50 mol methane

Volume of methane in a gas cylinder =3.3 L

Temperature =25^{\circ}=25+273.15=298.15 K

We have to find the pressure exert by gas on cylinder

Using ideal gas equation

PV =nRT

Where R= gas constant=0.0821 L-atm/K mol

Substitute all given values

Then we get

P\times 3.3=1.5\times 0.0821\times 298.15

P=\frac{36.717}{3.3}

P=11.126 atm

Hence, the pressure exert by the gas on cylinder =11.126 atm

A ball with a mass of 0.25 kg hits a gym ceiling with a force of 78.0 n. what happens next?
QveST [7]
<span>a. The ball accelerates downward with a force of 80.5 N. This is a rather badly worded question since the answer depends upon whether or not the impact with the gym ceiling was elastic or non-elastic. With an elastic collision, the ball will accelerate downward with it's original force plus the acceleration due to gravity. With a non-elastic collision (the energy in the ball being used to damage the ceiling of the gym), then the initial energy the ball has would be expended while causing damage to the gym ceiling and then the ball would accelerate downward solely due to the force of gravity. In either case, we need to take into consideration the force of gravity. So multiply the mass of the ball by the gravitational acceleration, giving F = 0.25 kg * 9.8 m/s^2 = 2.45 kg*m/s^2 = 2.45 N Since the initial force is 78.0 newtons, let's add them 78.0 N + 2.45 N = 80.45 N and after rounding to 3 figures, gives 80.5 N So we have a possible answer of 2.45N or 80.5N depending upon if the collision is elastic or not. And unfortunately, both possible answers are available. Since no mention of the ceiling being damaged is made in the question, and to be honest a 100% non-elastic collision is highly unlikely, I will assume the collision is elastic, so the answer is "a".</span>

A 1.50 V potential difference is maintained across a 1.50 m wire that has a cross-sectional area of 0.600 mm2. How much power is
Goshia [24]

Given that the potential difference is V = 1.5 V.

The length of the wire is l = 1.5 m.

The cross-sectional area is

\begin{gathered} A\text{ = 0.6 }mm^2 \\ =0.6\times10^{-6}m^2 \end{gathered}

The resistivity of the wire is

\rho\text{ = 5.25}\times10^{-8}\Omega\text{ m }

We have to find the power dissipated in the wire.

First, we need to calculate resistance.

The resistance can be calculated as

\begin{gathered} R\text{ = }\rho\frac{l}{A} \\ =5.25\times10^{-8}\times\frac{1.5}{0.6\times10^{-6}} \\ =0.13125\Omega \end{gathered}

The formula to calculate power is

P\text{ =}\frac{V^2}{R}

Substituting the values, the power will be

\begin{gathered} P\text{ = }\frac{(1.5)^2}{0.13125} \\ =17.1\text{ W} \end{gathered}

Thus, the power dissipated in the wire is 17.1 W

What causes waves to slow down: change in wave’s wavelength or change in its frequency and y?
Mashutka [201]

Answer:

Although the wave slows down, its frequency remains the same, due to the fact that its wavelength is shorter. When waves travel from one medium to another the frequency never changes.

k0ka [10]

Answer:

P-waves travel through liquids and solid while S-waves only travel through solids.

Explanation:

Scientists are able to use the fact that P-waves travel through both solids and liquids and waves travel through only solids to determine what makes the different layers of the Earth.
