1. If a radioactive sample has an initial count rate of 600 Bq. What is its count

Physics
1 answer:
Virty [35]3 years ago
3 0

Answer:

See explanation

Explanation:

Since the original count rate is 600 Bq,

i) after 1 half life, the count rate decreases to 1/2 of 600 Bq = 300 Bq

ii) after 2 half lives, the count rate decreases to 1/4 of 600 = 150 Bq

iii) after 3 half lives, the count rate decreases to 1/6 of 600 = 100 Bq

iv) after 4 half lives, the count rate decreases to 1/8 of 600 = 75 Bq

Answer:

24.2 s

29.2 m

Explanation:

First, convert each speed from km/h to m/s.

91.5 km/h = 25.42 m/s

77.5 km/h = 21.53 m/s

The speed of the cheetah relative to the gazelle is:

v = 25.42 m/s − 21.53 m/s

v = 3.89 m/s

So the time it takes for the cheetah to catch the gazelle is:

x = v t

94.2 m = (3.89 m/s) t

t = 24.2 s

If instead we want to find x so that t = 7.5 s, then:

x = v t

x = (3.89 m/s) (7.5 s)

x = 29.2 m

Please show all the steps and work. The answer is -3.9 m/s2
konstantin123 [22]

Given that,

Initial velocity of the airplane = 66 m/s

Distance = 560 m

Final velocity of the airplane = 0 (stops)

To find,

Acceleration of the airplane.

Solution,

Let us consider that a is the acceleration of the airplane. We can find it using third equation of motion as follows :

v^2-u^2=2as\\\\a=\dfrac{v^2-u^2}{2s}\\\\a=\dfrac{0^2-66^2}{2(560)}\\\\a=-3.9\ m/s^2

Therefore, the acceleration of the airplane is -3.9\ m/s^2

In the annual battle of the dorms, students gather on the roofs of Jackson and Walton dorms to launch water balloons at each oth
Elena L [17]

Answer:

a) The direction of the initial velocity of the first balloon is 18.5º

b) The initial speed of the second balloon is 19.1 m/s

Explanation:

The equations for the vector position in a parabolic motion are as follows:

r = (x0 + v0 · t · cos α, y0 + v0 · t · sin α + 1/2 · g · t²)

Where:

r = vector position

x0 = initial horizontal position

v0 = initial velocity

t = time

α = launching angle

y0 = initial vertical position

g = acceleration due to gravity

a) At t = 1.80 s the vector r will be as shown in the figure (in yellow). The x-component of the vector r, rx, is 34.0 m and the y-component, ry, is -4.5 m. The reference system is located at the edge of the roof of the Jackson building.

Then, at 1.80 s, r will be:

r = (34.0 m, - 4.50 m)

Using the equations for each component we can obtain v0 and α:

Using the x- component:

x = x0 + v0 · t · cos α    

34.0 m = v0 · 1.80 s · cos α  (x0 = 0 because the origin of the reference system is located at the launching point)

34.0 m / (1.80 s · cos α) = v0

Replacing v0 in the equation of the y-component:

y = y0 + v0 · t · sin α + 1/2 · g · t²

-4.50 m = (34.0 m /cos α) · sin α + 1/2 · - (9.80 m/s²) · (1.80 s)²  

(sin α / cos α = tan α)

-4.50 m = 34.0 m · tan α - 1/2 · 9.80m/s² · (1.80 s)²  

solving for tan α

tan α = 0.334

α = 18.5º

The direction of the balloon´s initial velocity is 18.5º above the horizontal.

b) In green is the trajectory of the second balloon. r2 is the final vector of the second balloon and its components in x and y are 34 m and - 6 m (21 m- 15 m) respectively (see figure).

Then:

r2 = (34.0 m, - 6.00 m)   Now the reference system is located at the launching point of the second balloon.

We can proceed in the same way as in the point a) only that now we have the angle but do not have the time nor the initial velocity.

Using the equation of the x-component of vector r2:

x = x0 + v0 · t · cos α

34.0 m = v0 · t · cos 18.5º

34.0 m /(t · cos 18.5º) = v0

Replacing v0 in the equation of the y-component:

y = y0 + v0 · t · sin α + 1/2 · g · t²

-6.00 m = 34.0 m · tan 18.5º - 1/2 · 9.8 m/s² · t²

-2 (-6.00 m - 34 m · tan 18.5º) /  9.8 m/s² = t²

t = 1.88 s

Then, the speed will be:  

v0 = 34.0 m /(1.88 s · cos 18.5º) = 19.1 m/s
