Francium-223 has a half-life of 22 minutes. A Geiger counter gives a reading of 58 counts per minute (cpm) from a sample of fran

polet [3.4K]

Answer:

29 counts per minute (29 cpm)

Explanation:

The half-life of a radioactive isotope is the time needed for the activity of the sample to halve.The half-life of Francium-223 is exactly 22 minutes: this means that its activity after 22 minutes becomes exactly half of its initial value. Since the initial activity of this sample of francium-223 was 58 cpm, the activity after 22 minutes will be

$A=\frac{58 cpm}{2}=29 cpm$

What is the relationship between temperature, dew point temperature, and air pressure

olchik [2.2K]

Dew point is the temperature at which the water vapor in the air condenses , then evaporates. The barometric or air pressure is independent from the dew point.

Ian walks 2 km to his best friend's house, then walks 0.5 km to the library. He then makes a 2.5 km walk home. The entire walk t

earnstyle [38]

Average speed = (total distance covered) / (time to cover the distance)

Ian's total distance covered = (2km + 0.5km + 2.5km) = 5 km.

His time to cover the distance = 3 hours.

Average speed = (5 km) / (3 hrs)

Average speed = (5/3) (km/hr)

<em>Average speed = 1.67 km/hr</em>

A pendulum is formed by taking a 2.0 kg mass and hanging it from the ceiling using a steel wire with a diameter of 1.1 mm. it is

Lera25 [3.4K]

Answer: 1.39 s

Explanation:

We can solve this problem with the following equations:

$\frac{\Delta l}{l_{o}}=\frac{F}{AY}$ (1)

$T=2 \pi \sqrt{\frac{l_{o}}{g}}$ (2)

Where:

$\Delta l=0.05 mm=5(10)^{-5} m$ is the length the steel wire streches (taking into account 1mm=0.001 m)

$l_{o}$ is the length of the steel wire before being streched

$F=mg=(2 kg)(9.8 m/s^{2})=19.6 N$ is the force due gravity (the weight) acting on the pendulum with mass $m=2 kg$

$A$ is the transversal area of the wire

$Y=2(10)^{11} Pa$ is the Young modulus for steel

$T$ is the period of the pendulum

$g=9.8 m/s^{2}$ is the acceleration due gravity

Knowing this, let's begin by finding $A$ :

$A=\pi r^{2}=\pi (\frac{d}{2})^{2}=\pi \frac{d^{2}}{4}$ (3)

Where $d=1.1 mm=0.0011 m$ is the diameter of the wire

$A=\pi \frac{(0.0011 m)^{2}}{4}$ (4)

$A=9.5(10)^{-7}m^{2}$ (5)

Knowing this area we can isolate $l_{o}$ from (1):

$l_{o}=\frac{\Delta l AY}{F}$ (6)

And substitute $l_{o}$ in (2):

$T=2 \pi \sqrt{\frac{\frac{\Delta l AY}{F}}{g}}$ (7)

$T=2 \pi \sqrt{\frac{\frac{(5(10)^{-5} m)(9.5(10)^{-7}m^{2})(2(10)^{11} Pa)}{2(10)^{11} Pa}}{9.8 m/s^{2}}}$ (8)

Finally:

$T=1.39 s$
