Answer:

7.5 grams

Explanation:

From the question,

(R/R')ᵇ = 2ᵃ.................... Equation 1

Where b = half life, R = Original mass of iodine, R' = Remaining mass of Iodine after disintegration, a = Total time taken.

⇒ R/R' = 2ᵃ/ᵇ............... Equation 2

Given: R = 60 grams, a = 24 days, b = 4 days

Substitute these values into equation 2

60/R' = 2²⁴/⁸

60/R' = 2³

R' = 60/2³

R' = 60/8

R' = 7.5 grams

Consider an electrical transformer has 10 loops on its primary coil and 20 loops on its secondary coil. What is the voltage in t

Arlecino [84]

Answer:

240 V

Explanation:

number of turns in primary coil, Np = 10

Number of loops in secondary coil, Ns = 20

Voltage in primary coil, Vp = 120 V

Let the voltage in secondary coil is Vs.

So, Vs / Vp = Ns / Np

Vs / 120 = 20 / 10

Vs / 120 = 2

Vs = 240 V

Thus, the voltage in secondary coil is 240 Volt.

A car is traveling up a hill that is inclined at an angle θ above the horizontal. Determine the ratio of the magnitude of the no

padilas [110]

Explanation:

The weight of the car is equal to, $W_c=m\times g$ ...........(1)

Where

m is the mass of car

g is the acceleration due to gravity

The normal or vertical component of the force is, $F_N=mg\ cos\theta$

$F_N=mg\ cos(13)$ .............(2)

The horizontal component of the force is, $F_H=mg\ sin\theta$

Taking ratio of equation (1) and (2) as :

$\dfrac{F_N}{W_c}=\dfrac{mg\ cos\theta}{mg}$

$\dfrac{F_N}{W_c}=cos(13)$

$\dfrac{F_N}{W_c}=0.97$

$\dfrac{F_N}{W_c}=\dfrac{97}{100}$

Hence, this is the required solution.
