The charges Q1=Q and Q2=4Q that are a distance d apart, repel each other with a force of 1.60 N. What would be the force between
gladu [14]

Answer:

50.4 N

Explanation:

Q1 = Q

Q2 = 4 Q

Distance = d

The force is given by

F = \frac{KQ_{1}Q_{2}}{d^{2}}

1.60 = \frac{4KQ^{2}}{d^{2}}    .... (1)

Now,

Q3 = 2 Q

Q4 = 7 Q

distance = d/3

F' = \frac{9KQ_{3}Q_{4}}{d^{2}}

F' = \frac{126KQ^{2}}{d^{2}}   .... (2)

Divide equation (2) by equation (1), we get

F' / 1.60 = 126 / 4

F' = 50.4 N

Thus, the force is 50.4 N.

What is the definition of the half-life of a radioactive isotope?
Illusion [34]

Answer:Half-life is the amount of time it takes for the initial mass of the isotope to decompose, by half, into other lighter atoms.

Explanation:Different radioactive isotopes have different half-lives. For example, the element technetium-99m has a half life of 6 hours. This means that is 100 kg of the element is left to decay, in 6 hours, 50kg of the mass will have changed into other elements/atoms. The half-life of uranium-238 is 4.5 billion years while that of polonium-216 is only 0.145 seconds.

The cylinder with piston locked in place is immersed in a mixture of ice and water and allowed to come to thermal equilibrium wi
lukranit [14]

Answer:

a. volume of gas:  (decreases)

b. temperature of gas:  (same)

c. internal energy of gas: (same)

d. pressure of gas: (increases)

Explanation:

We have a gas (let's suppose that is ideal) in a piston with a fixed volume V.

Then we put in a reservoir at 0°C (the mixture of water and ice)

remember that the state equation for an ideal gas is:

P*V = n*R*T

and:

U = c*n*R*T

where:

P = pressure

V = volume

n = number of mols

R = constant

c = constant

T = temperature.

Now, we have equilibrium at T = 0°C, then we can assume that T is also a constant.

Then in the equation:

P*V = n*R*T

all the terms in the left side are constants.

P*V = constant

And knowing that:

U = c*n*R*T

then:

n*R*T = U/c

We can replace it in the other equation to get:

P*V = U/c = constant.

Now, the piston is (slowly) moving inwards, then:

a) Volume of the gas: as the piston moves inwards, the volume where the gas can be is smaller, then the volume of the gas decreases.

b) temperature of the gas: we know that the gas is a thermal equilibrium with the mixture (this happens because we are in a slow process) then the temperature of the gas does not change.

c) Internal energy of the gas:

we have:

P*V = n*R*T = constant

and:

P*V = U/c = constant.

Then:

U = c*Constant

This means that the internal energy does not change.

d) Pressure of the gas:

Here we can use the relation:

P*V = constant

then:

P = (constant)/V

Now, if V decreases, the denominator in that equation will be smaller. We know that if we decrease the value of the denominator, the value of the quotient increases.

And the quotient is equal to P.

Then if the volume decreases, we will see that the pressure increases.
