The idea behind capitalism is that the free market of products and ideas is owned and driven by private citizens. A capitalist society is a social order in which private property rights and the free market serve as the basis of trade, distribution of goods, and development.

This exercise uses the radioactive decay model. After 3 days a sample of radon-222 has decayed to 58% of its original amount. (a

Vadim26 [7]

Answer: a) 3.85 days

b) 10.54 days

Explanation:-

Expression for rate law for first order kinetics is given by:

$t=\frac{2.303}{k}\log\frac{a}{a-x}$

where,

k = rate constant = ?

t = time taken for decomposition = 3 days

a = let initial amount of the reactant = 100 g

a - x = amount left after decay process = $\frac{58}{100}\times 100=58g$

First we have to calculate the rate constant, we use the formula :

Now put all the given values in above equation, we get

$k=\frac{2.303}{3}\log\frac{100}{58}$

$k=0.18days^{-1}$

a) Half-life of radon-222:

$t_{\frac{1}{2}}=\frac{0.693}{k}$

$t_{\frac{1}{2}}=\frac{0.693}{0.18}=3.85days$

Thus half-life of radon-222 is 3.85 days.

b) Time taken for the sample to decay to 15% of its original amount:

where,

k = rate constant = $0.18days^{-1}$

t = time taken for decomposition = ?

a = let initial amount of the reactant = 100 g

a - x = amount left after decay process = $\frac{15}{100}\times 100=15g$

$t=\frac{2.303}{0.18}\log\frac{100}{15}$

$t=10.54days$

Thus it will take 10.54 days for the sample to decay to 15% of its original amount.

Plain electromagnetic wave (in air) has a frequency of 1 MHz and its B-field amplitude is 9 nT a. What is the wavelength in air?

Norma-Jean [14]

Answer:

Part a)

$\lambda = 300 m$

Part b)

$E = 2.7 N/C$

Part c)

$I = 9.68 \times 10^{-3} W/m^2$

$P = 3.22 \times 10^{-11} N/m^2$

Explanation:

Part a)

As we know that frequency = 1 MHz

speed of electromagnetic wave is same as speed of light

So the wavelength is given as

$\lambda = \frac{c}{f}$

$\lambda = \frac{3\times 10^8}{1\times 10^6}$

$\lambda = 300 m$

Part b)

As we know the relation between electric field and magnetic field

$E = Bc$

$E = (9 \times 10^{-9})(3\times 10^8)$

$E = 2.7 N/C$

Part c)

Intensity of wave is given as

$I = \frac{1}{2}\epsilon_0E^2c$

$I = \frac{1}{2}(8.85 \times 10^{-12})(2.7)^2(3\times 10^8)$

$I = 9.68 \times 10^{-3} W/m^2$

Pressure is defined as ratio of intensity and speed

$P = \frac{I}{c} = \frac{9.68\times 10^{-3}}{3\times 10^8}$

$P = 3.22 \times 10^{-11} N/m^2$

sest yourse 1. A pencil lies on the dashboard of a car. a) i) What happens to the pencil when the car suddenly stops? suddenly a

julia-pushkina [17]

Answer:

1. the pencil would have the momentum and would keep going until it hits the windshield. 2. when the car suddenly accelerates, the pencil would be inert and it would move toward the back of the car until a constant speed from the car is reached.
