Answer:

h = 4 in

Explanation:

GIVEN DATA:

volume of tin $= 16 \pi$

we know that

volume of cylinder is $v = \pi r^2 h$

so,

$16 \pi = \pi r^2 h$

$16 = r^2 h$

$r = \sqrt{\frac{16}{h}}$

construct formula for surface area

$S = 2\pi r^2 + 2\pi rh$

$S = \frac{2v}{h} + 2 \sqrt{v \pi h}$

minimize the function wrt h

$S' = \frac{2v}{h^2} + \sqrt{\frac{v \pi}{h} = 0$

solving for h we have

$h = [\frac{4 v}{\pi}]^{1/3}$

we kow $v = 16 \pi$ so

h = 4 in

A tree falls in a forest. How many years must pass before the 14C activity in 1.03 g of the tree's carbon drops to 1.02 decay pe

Illusion [34]

Answer:

t = 5.59x10⁴ y

Explanation:

To calculate the time for the ¹⁴C drops to 1.02 decays/h, we need to use the next equation:

$A_{t} = A_{0}\cdot e^{- \lambda t}$ (1)

<em>where $A_{t}$ : is the number of decays with time, A₀: is the initial activity, λ: is the decay constant and t: is the time.</em>

To find A₀ we can use the following equation:

$A_{0} = N_{0} \lambda$ (2)

<em>where N₀: is the initial number of particles of ¹⁴C in the 1.03g of the trees carbon </em>

From equation (2), the N₀ of the ¹⁴C in the trees carbon can be calculated as follows:

$N_{0} = \frac{m_{T} \cdot N_{A} \cdot abundance}{m_{^{12}C}}$

<em>where $m_{T}$ : is the tree's carbon mass, $N_{A}$ : is the Avogadro's number and $m_{^{12}C}$ : is the ¹²C mass. </em>

$N_{0} = \frac{1.03g \cdot 6.022\cdot 10^{23} \cdot 1.3\cdot 10^{-12}}{12} = 6.72 \cdot 10^{10} atoms ^{14}C$

Similarly, from equation (2) λ is:

$\lambda = \frac{Ln(2)}{t_{1/2}}$

<em>where t 1/2: is the half-life of ¹⁴C= 5700 years </em>

$\lambda = \frac{Ln(2)}{5700y} = 1.22 \cdot 10^{-4} y^{-1}$

So, the initial activity A₀ is:

$A_{0} = 6.72 \cdot 10^{10} \cdot 1.22 \cdot 10^{-4} = 8.20 \cdot 10^{6} decays/y$

Finally, we can calculate the time from equation (1):

$t = - \frac{Ln(A_{t}/A_{0})}{\lambda} = - \frac {Ln(\frac{1.02decays \cdot 24h \cdot 365d}{1h\cdot 1d \cdot 1y \cdot 8.20 \cdot 10^{6} decays/y})}{1.22 \cdot 10^{-4} y^{-1}} = 5.59 \cdot 10^{4} y$

I hope it helps you!

A 3.0-kg brick rests on a perfectly smooth ramp inclined at 34° above the horizontal. The brick is kept from sliding down the pl

Firdavs [7]

Answer:

d=0.137 m ⇒13.7 cm

Explanation:

Given data

m (Mass)=3.0 kg

α(incline) =34°

Spring Constant (force constant)=120 N/m

d (distance)=?

Solution

F=mg

F=(3.0)(9.8)

F=29.4 N

As we also know that

Force parallel to the incline=FSinα

F=29.4×Sin(34)

F=16.44 N

d(distance)=F/Spring Constant

d(distance)=16.44/120

d(distance)=0.137 m ⇒13.7 cm

A string that passes over a pulley has a 0.341 kg mass attached to one end and a 0.625 kg mass attached to the other end. The pu

dalvyx [7]

Answer:

The frictional torque is $\tau = 0.2505 \ N \cdot m$

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

The mass attached to one end the string is $m_1 = 0.341 \ kg$

The mass attached to the other end of the string is $m_2 = 0.625 \ kg$

The radius of the disk is $r = 9.00 \ cm = 0.09 \ m$

At equilibrium the tension on the string due to the first mass is mathematically represented as

$T_1 = m_1 * g$

substituting values

$T_1 = 0.341 * 9.8$

$T_1 = 3.342 \ N$

At equilibrium the tension on the string due to the mass is mathematically represented as

$T_2 = m_2 * g$

$T_2 = 0.625 * 9.8$

$T_2 = 6.125 \ N$

The frictional torque that must be exerted is mathematically represented as

$\tau = (T_2 * r ) - (T_1 * r )$

substituting values

$\tau = ( 6.125 * 0.09 ) - (3.342 * 0.09 )$

$\tau = 0.2505 \ N \cdot m$

What is one standard kilogramun si system<br><br><br><br><br>

Phoenix [80]

Answer:

The kilogram (kg) is defined by taking the fixed numerical value of the Planck constant h to be 6.62607015 ×10−34 when expressed in the unit J s, which is equal to kg m2 s−1, where the meter and the second are defined in terms of c and ∆νCs.
