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 person is sitting at the very back of a canoe of length L, when the front just bumps into the dock. show answer No Attempt 50%

Pavel [41]

The distance of the canoeist from the dock is equal to length of the canoe, L.

<h3>Conservation of linear momentum</h3>

The principle of conservation of linear momentum states that the total momentum of an isolated system is always conserved.

v(m₁ + m₂) = m₁v₁ + m₂v₂

where;

v is the velocity of the canoeist and the canoe when they are together

u₁ is the velocity of the canoe
u₂ velocity of the canoeist
m₁ mass of the canoe
m₂ mass of the canoeist

<h3>Distance traveled by the canoeist</h3>

The distance traveled by the canoeist from the back of the canoe to the front of the canoe is equal to the length of the canoe.

Thus, the distance of the canoeist from the dock is equal to length of the canoe, L.

Can someone help me please? I’ve been trying to solve these questions all day.

qwelly [4]

#16

If we put a resistor in circuit it will slow the speed of current

Let's check ohms law

$\\ \rm\Rrightarrow \dfrac{V}{I}=R$

So if resistance is more current is less

#17

Again use ohms law

$\\ \rm\Rrightarrow V=IR$

$\\ \rm\Rrightarrow V\propto I$

Voltage must be increased

If you pull horizontally on a desk with a force of 150 N and the desk doesn't move, the friction force must be 150 N. Now if you

s344n2d4d5 [400]

Answer:

The friction force is 250 N

Explanation:

The desk is moving at constant velocity. This means that its acceleration is zero: a = 0. Newton's second law states that the resultant of the forces acting on the desk is equal to the product between mass (m) and acceleration (a):

$\sum F=ma$

In this case, we know that the acceleration is zero: a = 0, so also the resultant of the forces must be zero:

$\sum F = 0$ (1)

We are only interested in the forces acting along the horizontal direction, since it is the direction of motion. There are two forces acting in this direction:

- the pull, forward, F = 250 N

- the friction force, backward, $F_f$

Given (1), we have

$F-F_f = 0$

So the force of friction must be equal to the pull:

$F=F_f = 250 N$

A 2.10 X 10^3 kg car starts from rest at the top of a 5.0

xeze [42]

Answer:

3.80 m/s

Explanation:

Solution: From the question we have:

A 2.10 x 10^3 kg car starts from rest at the top of a 5.0 m long driveway that is sloped at 20 degrees with the horizontal.

average friction force of 4.0 x 10^3 N impedes the motion

To find out: find the speed of the car at the bottom of the driveway.

=>h = 5×sin20 = 1.71 m.

PE = mgh = 2100×9.8×1.71 = 35,192 J.

KE = PE-work done by frictional force

KE=PE-4000×5

0.5mV^2 = 35192 - 4000×5

1050V^2 = 15,192

V^2 = 14.47

V = 3.80 m/s.
