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.

As the captain of the scientific team sent to Planet Physics, one of your tasks is to measure g. You have a long, thin wire labe
spin [16.1K]

Answer:

1.19 m/s²

Explanation:

The frequency of the wave generated in the string in the first experiment is f = n/2l√T/μ were T = tension in string = mg were m = 1.30 kg weight = 1300 g , μ = mass per unit length of string = 1.01 g/m. l = length of string to pulley = l₀/2 were l₀ = lent of string. Since f is the second harmonic, n = 2, so

f = 2/2(l₀/2)√mg/μ = 2(√mg/μ)/l₀    (1)

Also, for the second experiment, the period of the wave in the string is T = 2π√l₀/g. From (1) l₀ = 2(√mg/μ)/f and from (2) l₀ = T²g/4π²

Equating (1) and (2) we ave

2(√mg/μ)/f = T²g/4π²

Making g subject of the formula

g = 2π√(2√(m/μ)/f)/T

The period T = 316 s/100 = 3.16 s

Substituting the other values into , we have

g = 2π√(2√(1300 g/1.01 g/m)/200 Hz)/3.16

g = 2π√(2 × 35.877/200 Hz)/3.16

g = 2π√(71.753/200 Hz)/3.16

g = 2π√(0.358)/3.16

g = 2π × 0.599/3.16

g = 1.19 m/s²

What is the difference in the positioning of the Sun, Earth and moon for a lunar eclipse versus a full moon?
Lady bird [3.3K]

When the Moon passes between Sun and Earth, the lunar shadow is seen as a solar eclipse on Earth. When Earth passes directly between Sun and Moon, its shadow creates a lunar eclipse. Lunar eclipses can only happen when the Moon is opposite the Sun in the sky, a monthly occurrence we know as a full Moon.

Two cubes, one silver and one iron, have the same mass and temperature. A quantity Q of heat is removed from each cube. Which on
scoundrel [369]

Answer:

C) specific heat capacity

Explanation:

As we know that heat given to the system to change the temperature is given as

Q = ms \Delta T

here we know that

Q = thermal energy given to the system

s = specific heat capacity of the system

\Delta T = change in temperature

so here we know that

\Delta T = \frac{Q}{ms}

here we know that heat given to the two cubes is of same amount as well as the mass is same but the final temperature is different because of the specific heat capacity (s)

So correct answer would be

C) specific heat capacity
