Answer:

See explanation

Explanation:

From the formula;

0.693/t1/2 = 2.303/t log (Ao/A)

t1/2 = half life of Sodium-24

Ao = initial activity of Sodium-24

A= activity of Sodium-24 at time = t

So,

0.693/15 = 2.303/15 log (800/A)

0.0462 = 0.1535 log (800/A)

0.0462/0.1535 = log (800/A)

0.3 = log (800/A)

Antilog(0.3) = (800/A)

1.995 = (800/A)

A = 800/1.995

A = 401 Bq

ii) 0.693/15 = 2.303/30 log (800/A)

0.0462 = 0.0768 log (800/A)

0.0462/0.0768 = log (800/A)

0.6 = log (800/A)

Antilog (0.6) = (800/A)

3.98 = (800/A)

A = 800/3.98

A = 201 Bq

iii)

0.693/15 = 2.303/45 log (800/A)

0.0462 = 0.0512 log (800/A)

0.0462/0.0512 = log (800/A)

0.9 = log (800/A)

Antilog (0.9) = (800/A)

7.94 = (800/A)

A = 800/7.94

A= 100.8 Bq

iv)

0.693/15 = 2.303/60 log (800/A)

0.0462 = 0.038 log (800/A)

0.0462/0.038 = log (800/A)

1.216 = log (800/A)

Antilog(1.216) = (800/A)

16.44 = (800/A)

A = 800/16.44

A = 48.66 Bq

What physical property causes liquids to not separate in a container?

GuDViN [60]

Answer:

B) boiling point

Explanation:

The movement of the particles causes the shape of the liquid to change. The liquid will flow and fill to the lowest part of the container, in the shape of the container

But the volume does not change. The limited amount of space between the particles means that the liquid has only very limited compressibility.

A 0.58 kg mass is moving horizontally with a speed of 6.0 m/s when it strikes a vertical wall. The mass rebounds with a speed of

Sunny_sXe [5.5K]

Answer:

$5.8\; {\rm kg\cdot m \cdot s^{-1}}$ .

Explanation:

If the mass of an object is $m$ and the velocity of that object is $v$ , the linear momentum of that object would be $m\, v$ .

Assume that the initial velocity of the mass is positive ( $6.0\; {\rm m\cdot s^{-1}}$ .) However, the direction of the velocity is reversed after the impact. Thus, the sign of the new velocity of the object would be negative- the opposite of that of the initial velocity. The new velocity would be $(-4.0\; {\rm m\cdot s^{-1}})$ .

Thus, the change in the velocity of the mass would be:

$\begin{aligned}& (\text{Change in Velocity}) \\ =\; & (\text{Final Velocity}) - (\text{Initial Velocity}) \\ =\; & (-4.0\; {\rm m\cdot s^{-1}}) - (6.0\; {\rm m\cdot s^{-1}}) \\ =\; & (-10\; {\rm m\cdot s^{-1})\end{aligned}$ .

The change in the linear momentum of the mass would be:

$\begin{aligned} & \text{change in momentum} \\ =\; & (\text{mass}) \times (\text{change in velocity}) \\ =\; & 0.58\; {\rm kg} \times (-10\; {\rm m\cdot s^{-1}}) \\ =\; & (-5.8\; {\rm kg \cdot m \cdot s^{-1}})\end{aligned}$ .

Thus, the magnitude of the change of the linear momentum would be $5.8\; {\rm kg \cdot m \cdot s^{-1}}$ .

a hockey player exerts a force of 5 N over a distance of 0.3 m on a hockey puck. How much work is done on the hockey puck

Katen [24]

Answer: W = 1.5 J

Explanation: Work is the product of force and distance. It can be expressed in the following formula W = Fd.

W = Fd

= 5 N ( 0.3 M )

= 1.5 J
