If a gas has a gage pressure of 156 kPa, it is absolute pressure is approximately

1 answer:

5 0

In the given question, one important information for getting to the actual solution is not given and that is the atmospheric pressure. To find the approximate absolute pressure, it is needed to add the value of atmospheric pressure with the gage pressure.
Atmospheric pressure = 100 kPa
Then
Absolute pressure = 156 + 100 kPa
= 256 KPa.

Strontium 3890Sr has a half-life of 28.5 yr. It is chemically similar to calcium, enters the body through the food chain, and co

patriot [66]

Answer:

Thus the time taken is calculated as 387.69 years

Solution:

As per the question:

Half life of $^{3890}Sr\, t_{\frac{1}{2}}$ = 28.5 yrs

Now,

To calculate the time, t in which the 99.99% of the release in the reactor:

By using the formula:

$\frac{N}{N_{o}} = (\frac{1}{2})^{\frac{t}{t_{\frac{1}{2}}}}$

where

N = No. of nuclei left after time t

$N_{o}$ = No. of nuclei initially started with

$\frac{N}{N_{o}} = 1\times 10^{- 4}$

(Since, 100% - 99.99% = 0.01%)

Thus

$1\times 10^{- 4} = (\frac{1}{2})^{\frac{t}{28.5}}}$

Taking log on both the sides:

$- 4 = \frac{t}{28.5}log\frac{1}{2}$

$t = \frac{-4\times 28.5}{log\frac{1}{2}}$

t = 387.69 yrs

melamori03 [73]

Answer: B

It can exist in many alloys, usually with a carbon base

Explanation:

Iron forms many alloys with a carbon base. Steel is an alloy of iron and carbon. There are many different types of steel needed for different applications. Various metals are added to tune the steel to the required properties. For instance, stainless steel contains 10-30% chromium in addition to iron and a low percentage of carbon. Steel remains an extremely versatile alloy used for many different purposes.

Jlenok [28]

Answer:

1.648 m/s

Explanation:

1 revolution equals 2pi radians.

Calculate the angular velocity by taking 2pi x v, then divide by 60 seconds.

To convert this to m/s, simply take this answer and multiply it by 0.305m (a.k.a. the radius of the circle).
