Answer:

500.3 Bq

Explanation:

From the formula;

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

Where;

t1/12 = half life = 5 years

Ao = initial activity = 2000 Bq

0.693/5 = 2.303/10 log (2000/A)

0.1386= 0.2303  log (2000/A)

0.1386/0.2303 =  log (2000/A)

0.6018 = log (2000/A)

(2000/A) = Antilog (0.6018)

(2000/A) = 3.9976

A = 2000/3.9976

A = 500.3 Bq

The heating of groundwater forms
KIM [24]
The appropriate answer is c. geysers. A geysers a hot water fountain that spouts intermittently with great force, frequently accompanied by a thunderous roar. The world famous Old Faithful is located in Yellowstone National Park. This geyser erupts every 65 min sending a jet of water almost 60 meters into the air. Sinkholes and caves are formed by the action of groundwater on carbonate rocks which causes them to colapse and former these structures.

A horse of mass 242 kg pulls a cart of mass 224 kg. The acceleration of gravity is 9.8 m/s 2 . What is the largest acceleration
Rufina [12.5K]

To solve this problem it is necessary to apply the concepts related to Newton's second Law and the force of friction. According to Newton, the Force is defined as

F = ma

Where,

m= Mass

a = Acceleration

At the same time the frictional force can be defined as,

F_f = \mu N

Where,

\mu = Frictional coefficient

N = Normal force (mass*gravity)

Our values are given as,

m_h = 242 kg\\m_c = 224 kg\\\mu = 0.894\\

By condition of Balance the friction force must be equal to the total net force, that is to say

F_{net} = F_f

m_{total}a = \mu m_hg

(m_h+m_c)a = \mu*m_h*g

Re-arrange to find acceleration,

a= \frac{\mu*m_h*g}{(m_h+m_c)}

a = \frac{0.894*242*9.8}{(242+224)}

a = 4.54 m/s^2

Therefore the acceleration the horse can give is 4.54m/s^2
