Answer:

the activity of thallium is 1.54 kBq .

Explanation:

given,

half life = 3.7 years

R₀ = 10  kBq                    

time = 10 years                    

R = R_0\times e^(\dfrac{-0.693}{t_{1/2}}\times t)

R = 10\times e^(\dfrac{-0.693}{3.7}\times 10)

R = 10 × (0.153667)                      

R = 1.5367 ≈ 1.54 kBq                

hence, the activity of thallium is 1.54 kBq .

The specific heat of a solid Y is 11.5 cal/g°C. A sample of this
fgiga [73]

The sample of the solid in grams is 5.5g

HOW TO CALCULATE SPECIFIC HEAT CAPACITY:

  • The quantity of heat absorbed or released by a substance can be calculated using the following formula:

Q = m × c × ∆T

Where;

Q = quantity of heat absorbed/released (cal)

m = mass of the substance (g)

c = specific heat (cal/g°C)

∆T = change in temperature (°C)

  • According to the information provided in this question:

Q = 7.90Kcal = 7900cal

m = ?

c = 11.5 cal/g°C

T1 = 135K = 135K − 273.15 = -138.1°C

T2 = 260K = 260K − 273.15 = -13.15°C

∆T = -13.15 - (-138.1) = 124.95°C

  • Hence, the mass of the substance can be calculated as follows:

m = Q ÷ c∆T

m = 7900 ÷ (11.5 × 124.95)

m = 7900 ÷ 1436.93

m = 5.5grams.

Therefore, the sample of the solid in grams is 5.5g.

Một mặt phẳng vô hạn tích điện đều, mật độ σ = 4.10-9 C/cm2, đặt thẳng đứng trong không khí. Một quả cầu nhỏ có khối lượng 8 g,
dusya [7]

Answer:

The angle is 18.3 degree.

Explanation:

A uniformly charged infinite plane, density σ = 4 x 10^-9 C/cm^2, is placed vertically in air. A small ball of mass 8 g, with charge q = 10^-8 C, hangs close to the plane, so that the string is initially parallel to the plane. Take g = 9.8m/s2. When in equilibrium, by what angle is the string hanging the ball to the plane?

surface charge density, σ = 4 x 10^-5 C/m^2

Charge, q = 10^-8 C

mass, m = 0.008 kg

Let the angle is A and the tension in the string is T.

The electric field due to a plane is

E =\frac{\varepsilon \sigma }{2\varepsilon o}\\\\E =\frac{4\times 10^{-5}}{2\times 8.85\times 10^{-12}}\\\\E = 2.26\times 10^6 V/m \\

Now equate the forces,

T sin A = q E.... (1)\\\\T cos A = m g ..... (2)\\\\divide (1) by (2)\\\\tan A = \frac{10^{-8}\times 2.6\times 10^6}{0.008\times 9.8}\\\\tan A = 0.33\\\\ A = 18.3 degree
