1 gram of radium is reduced by 3.1 mg in 5 years by alpha decay.

Physics
1 answer:
Whitepunk [10]3 years ago
4 0

Answer:

1 gm = 1000 mg

N = No e^-y t       where y = lambda the decay constant

N / N0 = .9969

ln .9969 = - y t

-.00310 = - 5 y

y = .00310 / 5 = .000621

So the half-life = .693 / y

T^1/2 = .693 / .000621 = 1116 or about 1120 yrs

A scientist testing to see how a cat “always” lands on their feet drops a cat upside down out of a third story window at a heigh
makkiz [27]

<u>Answer: </u>

Cat has 2.02 seconds to right itself.

<u>Explanation: </u>

Initial height of cat from ground = 20 meter.

We have equation of motion , s= ut+\frac{1}{2} at^2, s is the displacement, u is the initial velocity, a is the acceleration and t is the time.

In this the velocity of cat in vertical direction = 0 m/s, acceleration = acceleration due to gravity =  9.8 m/s^2, we need to calculate time when s = 20 meter.

Substituting

20=0*t+\frac{1}{2} *9.8*t^2\\ \\ t = 2.02 seconds

So, cat has 2.02 seconds to right itself.

A rocket has total mass Mi=360 kg , including Mf=330kg of fuel and oxidizer. In interstellar space, it starts from rest at the p
steposvetlana [31]

let the parameters are:

M=instantaneous mass of the rocket

v=velocity of the rocket

t=time

initial mass=Mi=360 kg

fuel mass=Mf=330 kg

relative speed=Ve=1500 m/s

rate of mass decay=k=2.5 kg/s

writing newton’s second law of motion:

                    M*du/dt=-Ve*dM/dt

                           ==>du=-Ve*dM/M

Integration of both sides,

                       u=-Ve*ln(M)

using the limits with at t=0, u=0 and velocity being v(t),

at t=0, mass=Mi, at any time t, mass=Mi-k*t

                 v(t)-0=-Ve*ln((Mi-k*t)/Mi)

                  v(t)=-Ve*ln(1-(k*t/Mi))

<h3>What is needed for rocket propulsion?</h3>

Rocket propulsion is the strategy utilized to make the basic thrust to lift a rocket into the air. The force that the rocket employments to lift off from the soil is known as rocket propulsion. The third law of movement by Newton serves as the foundation for rocket propulsion. Here, the fuel is shot out from the exit mightily in arrange to cause an equal and converse reaction. The some sorts of rocket propulsion are fuelled by liquid, strong, cold gas, and particles. The rocket's mass, fuel burn rate, and weaken speed all impact speeding up.
