Answer:

An isotope is one of two or more species of atoms of a chemical element with the same atomic number and position in the periodic table and nearly identical chemical behavior but with different atomic masses and physical properties. In medicine, for example, cobalt-60 is extensively employed as a radiation source to arrest the development of cancer. Other radioactive isotopes are used as tracers for diagnostic purposes as well as in research on metabolic processes.

Hope this helps! Please let me know if you need more help, or if you think my answer is incorrect. Brainliest would be MUCH appreciated. Have a wonderful day!

storchak [24]

Answer:

$1.3\cdot 10^5\,\,\,\mbox{Watts}$

Explanation:

(Power) = (Work) / (Time) = (Force) * (Displacement) / (Time) = (Force) / (Velocity)

$P = 5.75\cdot 10^3 N \cdot 2.2\cdot 10 \frac{m}{s} = 1.265\cdot 10^5 W$

The power is about 1.3e+05 Watts.

If a car is taveling with a speed 6 and comes to a curve in a flat road with radius ???? 13.5 m, what is the minumum value the c

Lemur [1.5K]

Answer:

$\mu_s \geq 0.27$

Explanation:

The centripetal force acting on the car must be equal to mv²/R, where m is the mass of the car, v its speed and R the radius of the curve. Since the only force acting on the car that is in the direction of the center of the circle is the frictional force, we have by the Newton's Second Law:

$f_s=\frac{mv^{2}}{R}$

But we know that:

$f_s\leq \mu_s N$

And the normal force is given by the sum of the forces in the vertical direction:

$N-mg=0 \implies N=mg$

Finally, we have:

$f_s=\frac{mv^{2}}{R} \leq \mu_s mg\\\\\implies \mu_s\geq \frac{v^{2}}{gR} \\\\\mu_s\geq \frac{(6\frac{m}{s}) ^{2}}{(9.8\frac{m}{s^{2}})(13.5m) }\\\\\mu_s\geq0.27$

So, the minimum value for the coefficient of friction is 0.27.

A submarine is 58.8 m from a whale. The sub sends out a sonar ping to locate the whale. The speed of sound underwater is 1520 m/

MissTica

Answer:

0.08

Explanation:

this problem assume that both of whale and submarine are in rest position or in constant linier motion in same direction and same speed.

The sound will travel from Submarine to the whale and back again to submarine. so the time will be like this

t = 2d/v

t = 2*58.8/1520

t = 117.6/1520

t = 0.077368 s

t ≈ 0.08 s (less then 1 s)

A metal wire has a resistance of 14.00 Ω at a temperature of 25.0°C. If the same wire has a resistance of 14.55 Ω at 90.0°C, wha

aliina [53]

Answer:

13.52 Ω

Explanation:

coefficient of thermal resistance be α

R₀ , R₂₅ , R₉₀ and R₋₃₂ be resistances at 0 , 25 , 90 , and - 32 degree

R₂₅ = R₀ + α x 25

R₉₀ = R₀ + α x 90

R₉₀ - R₂₅ = 65 x α

α = (R₉₀ - R₂₅ )/ 65

= (14.55 - 14) / 65

= .55 / 65 Ω per °C,

R₂₅ = R₀ + α x 25

14 = R₀ + (.55 / 65 )x 25

= R₀ + .2115

R₀ = 13.7885 Ω

R₋₃₂ = R₀ - α x 32

= 13.7885 -( .55 / 65) x 32

= 13.7885 - .27077

= 13.51773 Ω

= 13.52 Ω
