Answer:

The strategy we would like you to learn has five major steps: Focus the Problem, Physics Description, Plan a Solution, Execute the Plan, and Evaluate the Solution. Let's take a detailed look at each of these steps and then do an sample problem following the strategy.

A radioactive substance decays according to the formula w = 20e¡kt grams where t is the time in hours. a find k given that after

blagie [28]

W=20 e(-kt)
A. Rearranging gives k= -(ln(w/20)/t
Substituting w= 10 and solving gives k=0.014
B. Using W=20e(-kt). After 0 hours, W=20. After 24 hours, W=14.29g. After 1 week (24x7=168h) W=1.9g
C. Rearranging gives t=-(ln(10/20)/k. Substituting w=1 and solving gives t=214 hours.
D. Differentiating gives dW/ dt = -20ke(-kt). Solving for t=100 gives dW/dt = 0.07g/h. Solving for t=1000 gives 0.0000002g/h
E. dW/dt = -20ke(-kt). But W=20e(-kt) so dW/dt = -kW

An infinitely long straight wire has a uniform linear charge density of Derive the 4. equation for the electric field a distance

marshall27 [118]

Answer:

$E = \frac{\lambda}{2\pi \epsilon_0 r}$

Explanation:

Let the linear charge density of the charged wire is given as

$\frac{q}{L} = \lambda$

here we can use Gauss law to find the electric field at a distance r from wire

so here we will assume a Gaussian surface of cylinder shape around the wire

so we have

$\int E. dA = \frac{q}{\epsilon_0}$

here we have

$E \int dA = \frac{\lambda L}{\epsilon_0}$

$E. 2\pi r L = \frac{\lambda L}{\epsilon_0}$

so we have

$E = \frac{\lambda}{2\pi \epsilon_0 r}$

What are the wavelength ranges for the following? (a) the AM radio band (540–1600 kHz) maximum wavelength m minimum wavelength m

Pie

Answer:

Explanation:

a ) AM radio band (540–1600 kHz)

frequency = 540 kHz = 540 x 10³ Hz

wave length = velocity of light / frequency

= 3 x 10⁸ / 540 x 10³

= 555.55 m

frequency = 1600 kHz = 1600 x 10³ Hz

wave length = velocity of light / frequency

= 3 x 10⁸ / 1600 x 10³

= 187.5 m

maximum wavelength = 555.55 m

minimum wavelength = 187.5 m

b )

AM radio band (88 - 108 MHz)

frequency = 88 MHz = 88 x 10⁶ Hz

wave length = velocity of light / frequency

= 3 x 10⁸ / 88 x 10⁶

= 3.41 m

frequency = 108 MHz = 108 x 10⁶ Hz

wave length = velocity of light / frequency

= 3 x 10⁸ / 108 x 10⁶

= 2.78 m

maximum wavelength = 3.41 m

minimum wavelength = 2.78 m

Estimate the mass of blood in your body Explain your reasoning (Note: It is not enough to provide a numeric answer. The main poi

AVprozaik [17]

Answer: A little more that 5 Kg for a healthy person

Explanation: First, we know the following:

The regular adult has from 9 to 12 pints of blood. This is around 5 liters for a healthy male adult.

The human body is composed mostly on water, around 80%.

Blood is mostly composed on plasma, which makes blood thicker than water.

Knowing that, almost all the body is compose of water, it is safe to think that blood density should be near to that of water but higher.

The density on water is a know value. Which makes the following true:

<em>1 Liter of Water weights 1 Kg</em>

<em />

It could be said then, that the total mass of blood for a healthy person should be a little more that 5 kgs.
