The half-life of cobalt-60 is 5.26 years. If 50 g are left after 15.8 years, how many

Physics

PtichkaEL [24]2 years ago
4 0

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

Before designing the filter, one must understand the relationship between the output voltage of the circuit and the frequency. F
Kamila [148]

Answer:

Option b. is correct

Explanation:

An RLC electrical circuit consists of constituent components: a resistor (R), an inductor (L), and a capacitor (C). A resistor, an inductor, and a capacitor are connected in series or parallel.

The impedances of the circuit elements depend on the frequency.

Both impedance magnitudes decrease when the frequency increases
