Find: (a) the decay constant  and half-life T1/2; (b) How many atoms of the isotope were contained in the freshly prepared sample? (c) What is the sample's activity 30 hours after it is prepared?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

(a). The decay constant is [tex]1.55\times10^{-5}\ s^{-1}[/tex]

The half life is 11.3 hr.

(b). The value of N₀ is [tex]2.38\times10^{11}\ nuclei[/tex]

(c). The sample's activity is 1.87 mCi.

Explanation:

Given that,

Activity [tex]R_{0}=10\ mCi[/tex]

Time [tex]t_{1}=4\ hours[/tex]

Activity R= 8 mCi

(a). We need to calculate the decay constant

Using formula of activity

[tex]R=R_{0}e^{-\lambda t}[/tex]

[tex]\lambda=\dfrac{1}{t}ln(\dfrac{R_{0}}{R})[/tex]

Put the value into the formula

[tex]\lambda=\dfrac{1}{4\times3600}ln(\dfrac{10}{8})[/tex]

[tex]\lambda=0.0000154\ s^{-1}[/tex]

[tex]\lambda=1.55\times10^{-5}\ s^{-1}[/tex]

We need to calculate the half life

Using formula of half life

[tex]T_{\dfrac{1}{2}}=\dfrac{ln(2)}{\lambda}[/tex]

Put the value into the formula

[tex]T_{\dfrac{1}{2}}=\dfrac{ln(2)}{1.55\times10^{-5}}[/tex]

[tex]T_{\dfrac{1}{2}}=44.719\times10^{3}\ s[/tex]

[tex]T_{\dfrac{1}{2}}=11.3\ hr[/tex]

(b). We need to calculate the value of N₀

Using formula of [tex]N_{0}[/tex]

[tex]N_{0}=\dfrac{3.70\times10^{6}}{\lambda}[/tex]

Put the value into the formula

[tex]N_{0}=\dfrac{3.70\times10^{6}}{1.55\times10^{-5}}[/tex]

[tex]N_{0}=2.38\times10^{11}\ nuclei[/tex]

(c). We need to calculate the sample's activity

Using formula of activity

[tex]R=R_{0}e^{-\lambda\times t}[/tex]

Put the value intyo the formula

[tex]R=10e^{-(1.55\times10^{-5}\times30\times3600)}[/tex]

[tex]R=1.87\ mCi[/tex]

Hence, (a). The decay constant is [tex]1.55\times10^{-5}\ s^{-1}[/tex]

The half life is 11.3 hr.

(b). The value of N₀ is [tex]2.38\times10^{11}\ nuclei[/tex]

(c). The sample's activity is 1.87 mCi.

Explanation:

i took the quiz

The force the rocket exerts on the air is in the direction opposite to

the force that the air exerts on the rocket.

What is force?

A force is an effect that can alter an object's motion according to physics. An object with mass can change its velocity, or accelerate, as a result of a force. An obvious way to describe force is as a push or a pull. A force is a vector quantity since it has both magnitude and direction.

Every action has an equal and opposite response, according to Newton's Third Law. Burning fuel in a rocket causes a push that propels the rocket forward from the front. As a result, the exhaust gas is pushed in the opposite direction and equally.

The force the rocket exerts on the air is in the direction opposite to

the force that the air exerts on the rocket.

Can someone please Help me

Answers

Answer: The answer to 3 to is less inertia. The answer to 4 is large amount of inertia. The answer to 5 is large amount of inertia. The answer to 6 is more fuel. Number 6 is kind of unkown considering I can’t see the other answer but I guess it’s more fuel.

Explanation: Inertia is the resistance of the object to any change in its motion, including a change in direction. An object will stay still or keep moving at the same speed and in a straight line, unless it is acted upon by an external unbalanced force. So when there is more inertia, it’s harder to control, but when it has less inertia, it’s more loose and easier to move around.

Answers

Answer:

C

Explanation:

A free-body diagram shows all the forces exerted or applied on an object.

A free-body diagram includes all the forces exerted on or by the object. Hence, option A is correct.

What is a free-body diagram?

A free-body diagram is a diagrammatic representation of a single body or a group of bodies that are separated from their surroundings and display all the forces acting on them. A free-body diagram (FBD; sometimes known as a force diagram) is a graphical representation used in physics and engineering to show the applied forces, moments, and consequent reactions on a body under a specific condition.

It shows a body or group of connected bodies along with all the applied forces, times, and reactions that the body experiences. The body could be compact or comprise several interior pieces (like a truss) (such as a beam). To answer difficult problems, a series of free bodies and other diagrams may be required.

Hence, all the forces exerted on or by the object are included in the free-body diagram.

Problem #2: An apple is thrown upward with an initial velocity of +24.0 m/s. a. Sketch the apple's trip and label what you know. b. How high will the apple go? (Ans: +29.4 m) c. What is the total time needed for the apple to return to its original position? (Ans: 4.90 s)

Answers

Answer:

The answer is below

Explanation:

a) The initial velocity (u) = 24 m/s

We can solve this problem using the formula:

v² = u² - 2gh

where v = final velocity, g= acceleration due to gravity = 9.8 m/s², h = height.

At maximum height, the final velocity = 0 m/s

v² = u² - 2gh

0² = 24² - 2(9.8)h

2(9.8)h = 24²

2(9.8)h = 576

19.6h = 576

h = 29.4 m

b) The time taken to reach the maximum height is given as:

v = u - gt

0 = 24 - 9.8t

9.8t = 24

t = 2.45 s

The total time needed for the apple to return to its original position = 2t = 2 * 2.45 = 4.9 s

You row a boat perpendicular to the shore of a river that flows at 3 m/s. The velocity of your boat is 4 m/s relative to the water. What is the velocity of your boat relative to the shore?

Answers

Answer:

The velocity vBW of the boat relative to the water is 4.0 m/s, directed perpendicular to the current, as in Figure 3.18.

Explanation:

The boat is perpendicular to the shore. Then the net velocity of the boat with respect to river is 5 m/s. The observer feels like the boat is moving slower than they appear actually.

What is relative velocity ?

Relative velocity is velocity of an object measured with respect to other object which can be of stationary or moving with a speed. Thus speed relative to another object is called the relative velocity.

The relative velocity is what's the speed for an observer but it differs from actual velocity. Sometimes it may slower or faster depending on the object with which a we are relating the speed.

Given that the speed of the boat = 4 m/s

speed of river = 3 m/s.

Both are perpendicular and the net velocity of the boat is :

r = √(3² + 4²) = 5 m/s.

Hence, the velocity of the boat relative to the shore will be 5 m/s.

Answer:

v = 0.0251 km/h

Explanation:

Given that,

The average distance from its center of mass of 1000 meters.

The time taken is  24 hours and 57 minutes to complete one orbit

We need to find the orbital velocity of the spacecraft OSIRIS-REx.Let it is v. SO,

[tex]v=\dfrac{2\pi r}{t}[/tex]

Putting all the values,

[tex]v=\dfrac{2\pi \times 100}{24\ hours\ and\ 57\ minutes}\\\\v=\dfrac{2\pi \times 100}{(86400+3420)}\\\\v=0.00699\ m/s[/tex]

So, the average orbital velocity is 0.0251 km/h.

в горизонтальном положении бревно длиной 18 м можно уравновесить на подставке, отстоящей на 3 м от его толстого конца. Если же подставка находится в 6 м от толстого конца, и на тонкий конец сядет рабочий массой 60 кг, то бревно снова будет в равновесии. Определите массу бревна.

Пояснение:

Найдите эскиз прилагаемой схемы. Масса бревна M размещается на отметке 3 см от толстого конца, а стержень размещается на отметке 6 см от массы бревна.

Согласно принципу момента, сумма момента по часовой стрелке равна сумме момента против часовой стрелки.

Вес корпуса в более тонкой части W = мг

W = 60 × 10 = 600 Н

Момент по часовой стрелке = 600 × 9

CW момент = 5400 Нм

Момент против часовой стрелки = M × 6

Момент ACW = 6M

Уравнять оба момента

6M = 5400

М = 5400/6

М = 900Н

Масса бревна = 900/10

Масса бревна = 90кг

m, what is your total displacement?
how to answer: #m, direction

Answers

Answer:

Total Displacement = -18m

Explanation:

Given

East Movement = 38m and 27m

West Movement = 47m

Required

Determine the total displacement

To answer this, we consider east as negative direction and the west as positive (using logics of number line).

Total Displacement = East Movement + West Movement

Total Displacement = -38m - 27m + 47m

Total Displacement = -18m

Hence, the total displacement is 18m towards East

How far will a 600kg boat travel in 12 s if there is a constant 900N force on it and it starts from rest?

Answers

Answer:

d = 108 m

Explanation:

Given that,

Initial speed, u = 0

Mass of the boat, m = 600 kg

Time, t = 12 s

Force on boat, F = 900 N

Firstly, we can find the acceleration of the boat using formula, F = ma

[tex]a=\dfrac{F}{m}\\\\a=\dfrac{900\ N}{600\ kg}\\\\a=1.5\ m/s^2[/tex]

Let it will travel d distance. Using second equation of motion to find it as follows :

[tex]d=ut+\dfrac{1}{2}at^2\\\\d=0+\dfrac{1}{2}\times 1.5\times (12)^2\\\\d=108\ m[/tex]

So, the boat will travel 108 m.
