Use the worked example above to help you solve this problem. The half-life of the radioactive nucleus _(88)^(226)text(Ra) is 1.6

103 yr. If a sample initially contains 4.00 1016 such nuclei, determine the following:________.
(a) the initial activity in curies µCi
(b) the number of radium nuclei remaining after 4.4 103 yr nuclei
(c) the activity at this later time µCi

Answer:

Explanation:

From the information given:

The half-life t_{1/2} = 1.6103 years

The no. of the initial nuclei N_o = 4.00 \times 10^6

Using the formula:

N = N_o exp(-\lambda t)

where;

decay constant \lambda = \dfrac{In2}{1.6*10^3} y^{-1}

∴

N = N_o exp ( \dfrac{-In2}{1.6*10^3}\times 4.4 \times 10^3)

N = N_o exp (- 1.906154747)

The number of radium nuclei N = 5.94 × 10¹⁵

The initial activityA_o = \lambda N_o

A_o =(\dfrac{In (2)}{1.61\times 10^3  \times 365 \times 24 \times 3600}\times 4.00 \times 10^{16})

A_o =546075.8487 \ Bq

Since;

1 curie = 3.7 × 10¹⁰ Bq

Then;

A_o =\dfrac{546075.8487 }{3.7\times 10^{10}}

A_o = 1.47588 \times 10^{-5}Ci

A_o = 14.7588 \  \mu Ci

c) The activity at a later time is:

=5.94 \times 10^{15}( \dfrac{In (2)}{1.60 \times 10^3 \times 365\times 24 \times 3600})

= 81599.09018 \ Bq \\ \\ = \dfrac{81599.09018}{3.7\times 10^{10}} \ Ci \\ \\ = 2.20538 \times 10^6 \ Ci  \\ \\  = 2.20538  \ \mu Ci

Compute the kinetic energy of a proton (mass 1.67×10−27kg ) using both the nonrelativistic and relativistic expressions for spee
JulsSmile [24]

Answer:

The non-relativistic kinetic energy of a proton is 6.76\times10^{-12}\ J

The relativistic kinetic energy of a proton is 7.25\times10^{-12}\ m/s

Explanation:

Given that,

Mass of proton m=1.67\times10^{-27}\ kg

Speed v= 9.00\times10^{7}\ m/s

We need to calculate the kinetic energy for non relativistic

Using formula of kinetic energy

K.E=\dfrac{1}{2}mv^2

Put the value into the formula

K.E=\dfrac{1}{2}\times1.67\times10^{-27}\times(9.00\times10^{7})^2

K.E=6.76\times10^{-12}\ J

We need to calculate the kinetic energy for relativistic

Using formula of kinetic energy

K.E=mc^2(\sqrt{(\dfrac{1}{1-\dfrac{v^2}{c^2}})}-1)

K.E=1.67\times10^{-27}\times(3\times10^{8})^{2}\cdot\left(\sqrt{\frac{1}{1-\frac{\left(9.00\times10^{7}\right)^{2}}{(3\times10^{8})^{2}}}}-1\right)

K.E=7.25\times10^{-12}\ m/s

Hence, The non-relativistic kinetic energy of a proton is 6.76\times10^{-12}\ J

The relativistic kinetic energy of a proton is 7.25\times10^{-12}\ m/s
