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

Readme [11.4K]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given

radius of electron(r)=5.3\times 10^{-11} m

centripetal acceleration (a_c)=9\times 10^22 m/s^2

we know

a_c=\frac{v^2}{r}

v=\sqrt{r\times a_c}

v=\sqrt{5.3\times 10^{-11}\times 9\times 10^{22}}

v=\sqrt{47.7\times 10^11}

v=21.84\times 10^5 m/s

(b)For n=10

r=100\times 5.3\times 10^{-11} m\approx 5.3\times 10^{-9} m

a_c=10^4\times 9\times 10^{22} m/s^2

a_c=9\times 10^{26} m/s^2

v=\sqrt{r\times a_c}

v=\sqrt{9\times 10^{26}\times 5.3\times 10^{-9}}

v=21.84\times 10^8 m/s

A Carnot heat engine has an efficiency of 0.400. If it operates between a deep lake with a constant temperature of 298.0k and a
tatuchka [14]

Answer:

496.7 K

Explanation:

The efficiency of a Carnot engine is given by the equation:

\eta = 1 - \frac{T_H}{T_L}

where:

T_H is the temperature of the hot reservoir

T_C is the temperature of the cold reservoir

For the engine in the problem, we know that

\eta = 0.400 is the efficiency

T_C = 298.0 K is the temperature of the cold reservoir

Solving for T_H, we find:

\frac{T_C}{T_H}=1-\eta\\T_H = \frac{T_C}{1-\eta} =\frac{298.0}{1-0.400}=496.7 K

Which of the following processes DOES NOT occur during the convective transfer of heat within a container of air? Group of answe
vovangra [49]

The volume of a warmed part of the air is reduced and its density increases.

Explanation:

In a convective form of heat transfer, the volume of a warmed part of air is not reduced and its density does not increase.

During convection, heat causes the warm part of the air to expand and its volume increases. When volume increases, density is reduced.

  • Convection is a form of heat transfer that involves the actual movement of particles of the medium.
  • It usually occurs in fluids i.e gases and liquids.
  • In convection, the cold part exerts a buoyant force on the warmer air below and causes it to rise.
  • As the warmer part is rising the cooler part replaces it and a convective cell is formed in the process.
