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

A 0.10 kg ball of dough is thrown straight up into the air with an initial speed of 15 m/s.

Reptile [31]

<span>Mass of the ball is m = 0.10kg Initial speed of the Ball v = 15m/s a. When the ball is at maximum height the velocity is 0 Momentum of ball = mass x velocity Momentum = 0.10kg x 0 = 0 b. Getting the maximum height, Using the conservation of energy equation KEinitial = mgh 1/2mVin^2 = mgh => h = v^2/2g h = 15^2/2x9.8 = 11.48m => Half Height h = 5.96m Applying the conservation of energy equation at halfway V^2 = 2gh V = square root of (2x9.8x5.96) => V = square root of (116.816) So the velocity at the half way V = 10.81 m/s Momentum M = m x V => M = 0.10 x 10.81 => M = 1.081kg-m/s</span>

A machine is currently set to a feed rate of 5.921 inches per minute (IPM). Te machinist changes this setting to 6.088 IPM. By h

lukranit [14]

Answer:

By 16.7% or 0.167 IPM

Explanation:

Substracting the final IPM (6.088) to the initial IPM (5.921) gives us the net difference, which is how much did it increase in IPM. Multiplying this number by 100 gives us the percentual increase in the feed rate.

What is the relation between celsius and kelvin

Scilla [17]

Answer:

The Celcius and kelvin scale are related unit for unit. One degree unit on the Celcius scale is equivalent to one degree unit on the kelvin scale. The only difference between these two scales is the zero point.

The period T of a pendulum of length L is measured to determine g at the surface of Earth. The equation used is T=2π√L/g. The ma

saul85 [17]

Answer:

C: Variation in the value of g as the pendulum bob moves along its arc.

Explanation:

The formula for period of a simple pendulum is given by;

T = 2π√(L/g)

Where;

L is length

g is acceleration due to gravity

Now, from this period equation, it is clear that the only thing that can affect the period of a simple pendulum are changes to its length and acceleration due to gravity.

Looking at the options, the only one that talks about either the length or gravity as being potential causes of the error is option C
