Tungsten, W-181, is a radioactive isotope with a half life of 121 days. If a medical lab purchases 24 kg of W-181, how much will

be left after 1 year?

1 year = (365 / 121) = 3.02 half-lifes.  Let's call it 3 .

The amount of radioactive isotope remaining after 3 half-lifes is

(1/2) x (1/2) x (1/2) = 1/8 

A year after the medical lab received the 24 kg of W-181, 
there will still be 24 kg of stuff in the container. 
But only 3 kg of it will still be W-181.  The other 21 kg will be
whatever substances W-181 becomes when it decays.

Sadly, even the 3 kg of good stuff won't be usable anymore ...
it'll be thoroughly mixed with the 21 kg of junk.  It would be harder
and more expensive to try and separate them than to buy a new
can of pure W-181, and USE it before 7/8 of it has deteriorated.

A cube made out of wood has a mass of 1.2 kg and the density of the wood is 400kg/m3.What is the length of the side of the cube?
LenaWriter [7]

Answer:

≈ 0.144 m

Explanation:

Density is mass divided by volume:

D = M / V

Solving for volume:

V = M / D

Given M = 1.2 kg and D = 400 kg/m³:

V = 1.2 kg / (400 kg/m³)

V = 0.003 m³

Volume of a cube is the side length cubed:

V = s³

Therefore:

s³ = 0.003 m³

s ≈ 0.144 m

Round as needed.

2. How does the medium vibrate in a transverse wave?
stiv31 [10]

ANSWER :

(A) AT RIGHT ANGLES TO THE DIRECTION THE WAVE TRAVELS.

EXPLANATION :

TRANSVERSE WAVES IS THAT IN WHICH THE PARTICLES VIBRATE WITH AN UP-AND-DOWN MOTION. THE PARTICLES IN A TRANSVERSE WAVE MOVE ACROSS OR PERPENDICULAR TO THE DIRECTION THAT THE WAVE IS TRAVELING OR AT RIGHT ANGLES TO THE DIRECTION THE WAVE TRAVELS.

While using a digital radiography system, suppose a radiographer uses exposure factors of 10 mAs and 70 kVp with an 8:1 grid for
Nimfa-mama [501]

Answer:

b. 12.5 mAs, 70 kVp

Explanation:

The given parameter are;

The initial exposure factors := 10 mAs and 70 kVp

The initial Grid Ratio, G.R.₁ = 8:1

The Grid Ratio with which the radiographer desires to increase the scatter absorption, G.R.₂  = 12:1

Given that the lead content in the 12:1 grid, is higher than the lead content in 8:1 grid and that 12:1 grid needs more mAs to compensate, and provides a higher image contrast, the amount of extra mAs is given by the Grid Conversion Factors, GCF, as follows;

The GCF for G.R. 8:1 = 4

The GCF for G.R. 12:1 = 5

Therefore, given that the mAs used by the radiographer for 8:1 Grid Ratio is 10 mAs, the mAs required for a G.R. of 12:1 in order to maintain the same exposure is given as follows;

mAs for G.R. of 12:1 = 10 mAs × 5/4 = 12.5 mAs

Therefore the new exposure factors are;

12.5 mAs, 70 kVp
