A highly volatile substance has an initial mass of 1200 g and its mass is reduced by 12% each second.

Physics
1 answer:
Softa [21]3 years ago
4 0

Answer:

Explanation:

a) 1.00 - 0.12 = 0.88

m = 1200(0.88)^t

b) t = ln(m/1200) / ln(0.88)

c) m = 1200(0.88)^10 = 334.20 g

d) t = ln(10/1200) / ln(0.88) = 37.451... = 37 s

e) t = ln(1/1200) / ln(0.88) = 55.463... = 55 s

A uniform solid sphere has a moment of inertia I about an axis tangent to its surface. What is the moment of inertia of this sph
arsen [322]

Answer:

option E

Explanation:

given,

I is moment of inertia about an axis tangent to its surface.

moment of inertia about the center of mass

I_{CM} = \dfrac{2}{5}mR^2.....(1)

now, moment of inertia about tangent

I= \dfrac{2}{5}mR^2 + mR^2

I= \dfrac{7}{5}mR^2...........(2)

dividing equation (1)/(2)

\dfrac{I_{CM}}{I}= \dfrac{\dfrac{2}{5}mR^2}{\dfrac{7}{5}mR^2}

\dfrac{I_{CM}}{I}=\dfrac{2}{7}

I_{CM}=\dfrac{2}{7}I

the correct answer is option E

Allison has been diagnosed with interstitial cystitis. Which treatment is her doctor likely to recommend?
Basile [38]

Answer: C) Sacral nerve stimulation

Explanation: interstitial cystitis can be simply refered to as a non infectious painful bladder condition which may be chronic depending on the severity. Some of the symptoms include pelvic and bladder pain as well as an urge to frequently urinate.

The best treatment that Allison's doctor is likely to recommend to her is the sacral nerve stimulation. Reducing the urgency to urinate which is associated with interstitial cystitis is the main target of this nerve stimulation technique, it involves simulating the sacral nerves which are the primary link between the spinal cord and nerves in the bladder. In this technique, electrical impulses are sent to the bladder by a thin wire which will be placed near the sacral nerves, this will help to reduce some of the symptoms.

No if radiactive plutonium is burnt in the air it produces plutonium oxide.do we expect the oxide to be radiactive
DerKrebs [107]

Answer:

A naturally radioactive element of the actinide metals series. Plutonium is used as a nuclear fuel, to produce radioisotopes for research, Plutonium dioxide is formed when plutonium or its compounds (except the phosphates) are ignited in air, and  Plutonium oxide fired at temperatures 600 C is difficult to rapidly.

A 39-cm-long vertical spring has one end fixed on the floor. Placing a 2.2 kg physics textbook on the spring compresses it to a
Inessa05 [86]

Answer:

The spring constant is 215.6 N/m.

Explanation:

Given that,

Distance = 39 cm

Compresses length = 29 cm

Mass = 2.2 kg

We need to calculate the distance

Using formula of distance

x=l-l'

Put the value into the formula

x=39-29=10\ cm

We need to calculate the spring constant

Using formula of restoring force

F=kx

k=\dfrac{mg}{x}

Where, F = force

x = distance

Put the value into the formula

k=\dfrac{2.2\times9.8}{10\times10^{-2}}

k=215.6\ N/m

Hence, The spring constant is 215.6 N/m.
