Answer:

c. 12,500

Explanation:

Original number of atoms = 100,000 atoms

Half- life  = 10min

Unknown:

The number of atoms that will remain after 10min  = ?

Solution:

The half - life is the time taken for half of a radioactive substance to decay by half.

    Time taken        Number of atom   half life

           10min             100000                   _

           20min             50000                    1

           30min             25000                    2

           40min              12500                     3

How much force must be applied for a 150.W motor to keep a package moving at 3.00m/s?
leva [86]

The force must be applied for motor to keep the package moving is 50 N.

<h3>What is force?</h3>

Force is the action of push or pull the object in order to make it move or stop.

Power is related to force and velocity as

P = F x v

150 W = F x 3 m/s

F  =50 N

Thus, the force must be applied for motor to keep the package moving is 50 N.

What is black body radiation? Explain in detail.
tangare [24]

An object that absorbs all radiation falling on it, at all wavelengths, is called a black body. When a black body is at a uniform temperature, its emission has a characteristic frequency distribution that depends on the temperature. Its emission is called black-body radiation

vaieri [72.5K]

Answer:

B. blocks 2 & 3.

Explanation:

Block 1 has equal & opposite forces acting on it.

Block 2 has 5N on one side, 3N on the other. It will move in the direction the 5N of force is pushing.

Block 3 has no opposing force.

1.A body of certain mass is kept at a height of 15m from the ground, taking the value of g as 10m/s find out the mass of the bod
ehidna [41]

Answer:

1.#potential energy = PE, m = mass in kg, g = force of gravity, h= vertical height above the ground.  ** means to the power of ie exponent. * means multiply.

PE = mgh

300 = m(10)(15)

m = 300/(10)(15)

m= 2kg

2. KE = 1/2 mv**2

     = 1/2(50)(50)**2

     = 2500 joules

Small rockets are used to make small adjustments in the speed of satellites. One such rocket has a thrust of 42 N. If it is fire
Over [174]

To solve this problem we will apply the concepts related to Newton's second law that relates force as the product between acceleration and mass. From there, we will get the acceleration. Finally, through the cinematic equations of motion we will find the time required by the object.

If the Force (F) is 42N on an object of mass (m) of 83000kg we have that the acceleration would be by Newton's second law.

F = ma \rightarrow a = \frac{F}{m}

Replacing,

a =\frac{42N}{83000kg}

a =5.06*10^{-4}m/s^2

The total speed change

\Delta v = v_f -v_0 \rightarrow v_f =\text{Final velocity and } v_0 = \text{Initial velocity } we have that the value is 0.71m/s

If we know that acceleration is the change of speed in a fraction of time,

a= \frac{\Delta v}{t} \rightarrow t = \frac{\Delta v}{a}

We have that,

t= \frac{0.71m/s}{5.06*10^{-4}m/s^2 }

t = 1403.16s

Therefore the Rocket should be fired around to 1403.16s
