If I start with an 30 gram sample of Plutonium-244, how many grams would be left of Plutonium-244 after 1 half life

Physics
1 answer:
andriy [413]2 years ago
4 0

Answer:

15 g

Explanation:

Given,

Plutonium-244 = 30 g

We have to find the gram of Plutonium-244 left after 1 half-life.

We know that the half-life of a radioactive isotope is constant. The half-life of a Radioactive isotope does not depend on the initial amount of isotope.

Now,

After 1 half-life

Plutonium-244 left = \dfrac{30}{2}

                               = 15 g

Hence, 15 g of the Plutonium-244 will be left after 1 half-life.

Margaret wants to go for a swim, and decides to jump in using the diving board that measures 3-m long.
otez555 [7]

Answer:

The horizontal component of her velocity is approximately 1.389 m/s

The vertical component of her velocity is approximately 7.878 m/s

Explanation:

The given question parameters are;

The initial velocity with which Margaret leaps, v = 8.0 m/s

The angle to the horizontal with which she jumps, θ = 80° to the horizontal

The horizontal component of her velocity, vₓ = v × cos(θ)

∴ vₓ = 8.0 × cos(80°) ≈ 1.389

The horizontal component of her velocity, vₓ ≈ 1.389 m/s

The vertical component of her velocity, v_y = v × sin(θ)

∴ v_y = 8.0 × sin(80°) ≈ 7.878

The vertical component of her velocity, v_y ≈ 7.878 m/s.

A copper wire 1.0 meter long and with a mass of .0014 kilograms per meter vibrates in two segments when under a tension of 27 Ne
Furkat [3]

Answer:

the frequency of this mode of vibration is 138.87 Hz

Explanation:

Given;

length of the copper wire, L = 1 m

mass per unit length of the copper wire, μ = 0.0014 kg/m

tension on the wire, T = 27 N

number of segments, n = 2

The frequency of this mode of vibration is calculated as;

F_n = \frac{n}{2L} \sqrt{\frac{T}{\mu} } \\\\F_2 = \frac{2}{2\times 1} \sqrt{\frac{27}{0.0014} }\\\\F_2 = 138.87 \ Hz

Therefore, the frequency of this mode of vibration is 138.87 Hz
