Q. The half-life of tritium (hydrogen-3) is 12.3 years. If 48.0mg of tritium is released from a nuclear power plant during the course of a mishap, what mass of the sample will remain after 49.2 years?​

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

Explanation:

The formula for this, the easy one, is

[tex]N=N_0(\frac{1}{2})^{\frac{t}{H}[/tex] where No is the initial amount of the element, t is the time in years, and H is the half life. Filling in:

[tex]N=48.0(\frac{1}{2})^{\frac{49.2}{12.3}[/tex] and simplifying a bit:

[tex]N=48.0(.5)^4[/tex] and

N = 48.0(.0625) so

N = 3 mg left after 12.3 years

Answer 2

How many half-lifes is 49.2 years ?

(49.2 years) / (12.3 years per half-life)  =  4 half-lifes.

In 4 half-lifes, (1/2) · (1/2) · (1/2) · (1/2) of the original sample remains.

That's (1/2⁴) or (1/16) of the original.

(1/16) of 48.0 mg  =  3 mg .

=======================

Step-by-step:

== Start with 48 mg .

== After one half-life, 24 mg remains.

== Then, after the second half-life, 12 mg remains.

== Then, after the third half-life, 6 mg remains.

== Then, after the fourth half-life, 3 mg remains.

The engine starter and a headlight of a car are connected in parallel to the 12.0-V car battery. In this situation, the headlight operates at 38 W and the engine starter operates at 2.40 kW. If the headlight and starter were then rewired to be in series with each other, what total power would they consume when connected to the 12.0-V battery

Answers

Answer:

The total power they will consume in series is approximately 2.257 W

Explanation:

The connection arrangement of the headlight and the engine starter = Parallel to the battery

The voltage of the battery, V = 12.0 V

The power at which the headlight operates in parallel, [tex]P_{headlight}[/tex] = 38 W

The power at which the kick starter operates in parallel, [tex]P_{kick \ starter}[/tex] = 2.40 kW

We have;

P = V²/R

Where;

R = The resistance

V = The voltage = 12 V (The voltage is the same in parallel circuit)

For the headlight, we have;

R₁ = V²/[tex]P_{headlight}[/tex]  = 12²/38 = 72/19

R₁ = 72/19 Ω

For the kick starter, we have;

R₂ = V²/[tex]P_{kick \ starter}[/tex] = 12²/2.4 = 60

R₂ = 60 Ω

When the headlight and kick starter are rewired to be in series, we have;

Total resistance, R = R₁ + R₂

Therefore;

R = ((72/19) + 60) Ω = (1212/19) Ω

The current flowing, I = V/R

∴ I = 12 V/(1212/19) Ω = (19/101) A

We note that power, P = I²R

In the series connection, we have;

[tex]P_{headlight}[/tex] = I² × R₁

∴ [tex]P_{headlight}[/tex] = ((19/101) A)² × 72/19 Ω = 1368/10201 W ≈ 0.134 W

The power at which the headlight operates in series, [tex]P_{headlight, S}[/tex] ≈ 0.134 W

[tex]P_{kick \ starter}[/tex] = ((19/101) A)² × 60 Ω = 21660/10201 W ≈ 2.123 W

The power at which the kick starter operates in series, [tex]P_{kick \ starter, S}[/tex] ≈ 2.123 W

The total power they will consume, [tex]P_{Total}[/tex] = [tex]P_{headlight, S}[/tex] + [tex]P_{kick \ starter, S}[/tex]

Therefore;

[tex]P_{Total}[/tex] ≈ 0.134 W + 2.123 W = 2.257 W

Which wave has the smallest amplitude?

Answers

Answer:

C. C

Explanation:

A wave can be defined as a disturbance in a medium that progressively transports energy from a source location to another location without the transportation of matter.

In Science, there are two (2) types of wave and these include;

I. Electromagnetic waves: it doesn't require a medium for its propagation and as such can travel through an empty space or vacuum. An example of an electromagnetic wave is light.

II. Mechanical waves: it requires a medium for its propagation and as such can't travel through an empty space or vacuum. An example of a mechanical wave is sound.

A crest can be defined as the highest (vertically) point on a waveform.

On a related note, a trough is the lowest (vertically) on a waveform.

An amplitude can be defined as a waveform that's measured from the center line (its origin or equilibrium position) to the bottom of a trough or top of a crest. Thus, the vertical axis (y-axis) is the amplitude of a waveform i.e it's measured vertically.

In this scenario, waveform C which is represented by a blue curvy line has the smallest amplitude in comparison with the other waveforms because it has the minimum height when measured from the origin.

In contrast, waveform A represented by a purple line has the highest amplitude because it has the maximum height when measured from the origin.

Mathematically, the amplitude of a wave is given by the formula;

x = Asin(ωt + ϕ)

Where;

x is displacement of the wave measured in meters.A is the amplitude.ω is the angular frequency measured in rad/s.t is the time period measured in seconds.ϕ is the phase angle.

Answer:

The answer is indeed D as the comment above suggests.

Explanation:

Simply put, wave D's highest point is closer to the line than all of the other high points of A, B and C

An ice-skater with a mass of 80kg is holding a bowling ball with a mass of 8 kg. Suppose that the skater tosses the bowling ball forward with a speed of 6 m/s. What is the skater's reactive velocity? Show all work.

Answers

Answer:

0.6 m/s

Explanation:

The details of the masses and velocities are;

The mass of the ice skater, m₁ = 80 kg

The mass of the ball, m₂ = 8 kg

The speed with which the skater tosses the ball forward, v₂ = 6 m/s

Therefore;

According to the principle of conservation of linear momentum, we have;

m₁·v₁ = m₂·v₂

Where;

v₁ = The skater's reactive velocity

Therefore, we get;

80 kg × v₁ = 8 kg × 6 m/s

v₁ = 8 kg × 6 m/s/(80 kg) = 0.6 m/s

The skater's reactive velocity, v₁ = 0.6 m/s.

You are trying to hold your 550 g physics books with your hand against a vertical wall. Using a force sensor you know that the force you are applying is 10.0 N. Below the book on the floor you have placed a motion sensor. The position time graph for the book is given. Find the coefficient of kinetic friction.

Answers

The book's position is changing linearly with time, so its velocity is constant. This means that the net force acting on the book in the direction parallel to the surface is

F = 10.0 N - n = 0

where n is the magnitude of the normal force on the book due to the wall, and the net force perpedicular to the surface is

F = f - (0.550 kg) g = 0

where f is the mag. of kinetic friction, and f = µn where µ is the coefficient of kinetic friction.

Then

n = 10.0 N

• f = (0.550 kg) g = 5.39 N

• 5.39 N = µ (10.0 N)

==>   µ = 0.539

Answer:

Above answer

Explanation:

The book's position is changing linearly with time, so its velocity is constant. This means that the net force acting on the book in the direction parallel to the surface is

∑ F = 10.0 N - n = 0

where n is the magnitude of the normal force on the book due to the wall, and the net force perpedicular to the surface is

∑ F = f - (0.550 kg) g = 0

where f is the mag. of kinetic friction, and f = µn where µ is the coefficient of kinetic friction.

Then

• n = 10.0 N

• f = (0.550 kg) g = 5.39 N

• 5.39 N = µ (10.0 N)

==>   µ = 0.539

A stone is thrown vertically upwards with an initial velocity of 20m/sec. Find the maximum height ot reaches and the time taken by it to reach the height. (g=10m/s2)

plz short numerical ASAP​

Answers

Answer:

The height reached is 20m, The time taken to reach 20m is 2 seconds

Explanation:

Observing the equations of motion we can see that the following equation will be most helpful for this question.

[tex]v^{2} = u^{2} + 2as[/tex]

We are given initial velocity, u

We know that the stone will stop at its maximum height, so final velocity, v

Acceleration, a

And we are looking for the displacement (height reached), s

Substitute the values we are given into the equation

[tex]0^{2} = 20^{2} + 2(10)s[/tex]

Rearrange for s

[tex]0^{2} -20^{2} =20s[/tex]

[tex]-400=20s[/tex]

[tex]\frac{-400}{20} =s[/tex]

s = -20 (The negative is just showing direction, it can be ignored for now)

The height reached is 20m

Use a different equation to find the time taken

[tex]s = vt - \frac{1}{2} at^{2}[/tex]

Substitute in the values we have

[tex]-20=(0)t - \frac{1}{2} (10)t^{2}[/tex]

Rearrange for t

[tex]-20 =0 -5 t^{2}[/tex]

[tex]\frac{-20}{-5} =t^{2}[/tex]

[tex]4 = t^{2}[/tex]

t = 2s

The time taken to reach 20m is 2 seconds

un litro de un gas es calentado a presión constante desde 20°C hasta 60°C que volumen final ocupará dicho gas? ​

Answers

Answer:

Final volume, V2 = 3 Litres

Explanation:

Given the following data;

Initial volume, V1 = 1 litre

Initial temperature, T1 = 20°C

Final temperature, T2 = 60°C

To find the final volume, we would use Charles' law;

Charles states that when the pressure of an ideal gas is kept constant, the volume of the gas is directly proportional to the absolute temperature of the gas.

Mathematically, Charles is given by;

V1/T1 = V2/T2

Making V2 as the subject formula, we have;

V1T2 = V2T1

V2 = (V1T2)/T1

Substituting into the formula, we have;

V2 = (1 * 60)/20

V2 = 60/20

Final volume, V2 = 3 Litres

Light of wavelength 530.00 nm is incident normally on a diffraction grating, and the first‑order maximum is observed to be 33.0∘ from the normal. How many slits per millimeter are marked on the grating?

Answers

Answer:

1028 slits/mm

Explanation:

We are given that

Wavelength of light, [tex]\lambda=530nm=530\times 10^{-9} m[/tex]

1nm=[tex]10^{-9} m[/tex]

[tex]\theta=33^{\circ}[/tex]

n=1

We have to find the number of slits per mm are marked on the grating.

We know that

[tex]dsin\theta=n\lambda[/tex]

Using the formula

[tex]dsin33^{\circ}=1\times 530\times 10^{-9}[/tex]

[tex]d=\frac{530\times 10^{-9}}{sin33^{\circ}}[/tex]

[tex]d=9.731\times 10^{-7} m[/tex]

1m=[tex]10^{3}mm[/tex]

[tex]d=9.731\times 10^{-7}\times 10^3[/tex]mm

[tex]d=0.0009731mm[/tex]

Number of slits=[tex]\frac{1}{d}[/tex]

Number of slits=[tex]\frac{1}{0.0009731}[/tex]/mm

Number of slits=1028/mm

Hence, 1028 slits/mm are marked on the grating.

Answer:

1027.6 lines per mm.

Explanation:

wavelength = 530 nm

order, m= 1

Angle = 33 degree

Let the slits per mm is 1/d.

So,

[tex]m \lambda = d sin A\\\\1\times 530\times 10^{-6} = d sin 33\\\\\frac{1}{d} = 1027.6 lines per mm[/tex]

A. 15 m/s^2
B. 25 m/s^2
C. 4 m/s^2
D. 100 m/s^2

Answers

Answer:

C.

Explanation:

Force = Mass * Acceleration

So 20 = 5* Acceleration

4 = Acceleration

The acceleration of the object is 4 m/s².

To find the acceleration, the given values are:

Force = 20 N

Mass = 5 kg

Define acceleration.

Definition:

     As it was given as the values of  Force and mass, here acceleration definition depends on the Newton's second law of motion.

Using the second law of motion, the force will be equal to the product of the mass and the acceleration.

As formula,

                               F = ma Newton

Here, to find acceleration,

                              a =f/ m

Substituting the values,

                              = 20 / 5

                            a = 4m/s².

So, the acceleration was 4 m/s². The Option C is the correct answer.

An object is free falling near the surface of the earth. At a certain instant in time, it is falling downward at a rate 25.0 m/s. After 2.5 seconds, what are its acceleration and velocity?

Answers

Answers:

acceleration = 9.81 m/s^2velocity = 49.5 m/s

The values are approximate.

==========================================================

Explanation:

When near the surface of the earth, the acceleration of gravity is roughly 9.81 m/s^2. This means that after each second passes, the velocity increases by roughly 9.81 m/s.

After 2.5 seconds, the velocity increases by 2.5*9.81 = 24.525 m/s = 24.5 m/s

If it was already going 25.0 m/s, then it bumps up to 25.0+24.5 = 49.5 m/s which is also approximate.

The acceleration of gravity stays the same when the object is close to the surface of the earth, so it stays at roughly 9.81 m/s^2

Side note: I'm ignoring air resistance (aka air friction or drag) since that greatly complicates things, and we would need to know the shape and surface area of the object. The material type would also be relevant info as well.
