Answer:

400 g

Explanation:

The computation of the number of grams in the original sample is shown below:

Given that

half-life = 5.26 years

total time of decay = 15.8 years

final amount = 50.0 g

Now based on the above information

number of half-lives past is

= 15.8 ÷ 5.26

= 3 half-lives

Now

3 half-lives = 1 ÷ 8 remains = 50.0 g

So, the number of grams would be

= 50.0 g × 8

= 400 g

You and your friends find a rope that hangs down 19m from a high tree branch right at the edge of a river. You find that you can

tangare [24]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given

length of rope $L=19\ m$

velocity while running $v=2\ m/s$

when the person jumps off the bank and hang on the rope then we can treat the person as pendulum with Time period T which is given by

$T=2\pi \sqrt{\frac{L}{g}}$

$T=2\pi \sqrt{\frac{19}{9.8}}$

$T=2\pi \times 1.392$

$T=8.74\ m/s$

Greatest Possible distance will be covered when person reaches the other extreme end of assumed pendulum (velocity=zero)

therefore he must hang on for 0.5 T time

$time=0.5\times 8.74=4.37\ s$

The pupil of an eagle’s eye has a diameter of 6.0 mm. Two field mice are separated by 0.010 m. From a distance of 185 m, the eag

Answer:

time is 5.973826 sec

Explanation:

Given data

diameter D = 6.0 mm 6× $10^{-3}$ m

separated d = 0.010 m

distance (dis) 185 m

speed s = 16 m/s

wavelength = 550 nm = 550 $10^{-9}$ m

to find out

How much time passes

solution

we know that for resolution we use Rayleigh's Criterion i.e

θ = 1.22 wavelength / diameter = separated / distance 1

we calculate distance 1 by put value wavelength, diameter and separated

distance 1 = diameter × separated / 1.22 wavelength

distance 1 = 6× $10^{-3}$ × 0.010 / 1.22 × 550 × $10^{-9}$

distance 1 = 89.418778

so time will be i.e = distance (dis) - distance 1 / speed

time = ( 185 - 89.418778) / 16

time = 5.973826 sec

time is 5.973826 sec
