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

Answer:

a) 145.6kgm^2

b) 158.4kg-m^2/s

c) 0.76rads/s

Explanation:

Complete qestion: a) the rotational inertia of the merry-go-round about its axis of rotation

(b) the magnitude of the angular momentum of the child, while running, about the axis of rotation of the merry-go-round and

a) From I = MK^2

I = (160Kg)(0.91m)^2

I = 145.6kgm^2

b) The magnitude of the angular momentum is given by:

L= r × p The raduis and momentum are perpendicular.

L = r × mc

L = (1.20m)(44.0kg)(3.0m/s)

L = 158.4kg-m^2/s

c) The total moment of inertia comprises of the merry- go - round and the child. the angular speed is given by:

L = Iw

158.4kgm^2/s = [145kgm^2 + ( 44.0kg)(1.20)^2]

w = 158.6/208.96

w = 0.76rad/s

Given that an electric field of 3×106V/m3×106V/m is required to produce an electrical spark within a volume of air, estimate the

Andre45 [30]

Answer:

Length, l = 33.4 m

Explanation:

Given that,

Electrical field, $E=3\times 10^6\ V/m$

Let the electrical potential is, $V=10^8\ V$

We need to find the length of a thundercloud lightning bolt. The relation between electric field and the electric potential is given by :

$V=E\times d\\\\d=\dfrac{V}{E}\\\\d=\dfrac{10^8}{3\times 10^6}\\\\d=33.4\ m$

So, the length of a thundercloud lightning bolt is 33.4 meters. Hence, this is the required solution.
