A 70 kg human body typically contains 140 g of potassium. Potassium has a chemical atomic mass of 39.1 u and has three naturally occurring isotopes. One of those isotopes, 40K,is radioactive with a half-life of 1.3 billion years and a natural abundance of 0.012%. Each 40K decay deposits, on average, 1.0 MeV of energy into the body. What yearly dose in Gy does the typical person receive from the decay of 40K in the body?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

0.03143 Gy

Explanation:

Mass of the human body = 70 kg

Mass of potassium in the human body = 140 g

chemical atomic mass of potassium = 39.1

From avogadros number, we know that 1 atomic mass of an element contains 6.023 × 10^(23) atoms

Thus,

140g of potassium will contain;

(140 × 6.023 × 10^(23))/(39.1) = 2.1566 × 10^(24) atoms

We are told that the natural abundance of one of the 40K isotopes is 0.012%.

Thus;

Number of atoms of this isotope = 0.012% × 6.023 × 10^(23) = 7.2276 × 10^(19) K-40 atoms

Formula for activity of K-40 is given as;

Activity = (0.693 × number of K-40 atoms)/half life

Activity = (0.693 × 7.2276 × 10^(19))/1300000000

Activity = 3.85 × 10^(10)

We are told that each decay deposits 1.0 MeV of energy into the body.

Thus;

Total energy absorbed by the body in a year = 3.85 × 10^(10) × 1 × 365 = 1405.25 × 10^(10) MeV

Now, 1 MeV = 1.602 × 10^(-13) joules

Thus;

Total energy absorbed by the body in a year = 1405.25 × 10^(10) × 1.602 × 10^(-13) = 2.25 J

1 Gy = 1 J/kg

Thus;

Yearly dose = 2.25/70 = 0.03143 Gy

Three resistors, each having a resistance, R, are connected in parallel to a 1.50 V battery. If the resistors dissipate a total power of 3.00 W, what is the value of R

Answers

Answer:

The value of resistance of each resistor, R is 2.25 Ω

Explanation:

Given;

voltage across the three resistor, V = 1.5 V

power dissipated by the resistors, P = 3.00 W

the resistance of each resistor, = R

The effective resistance of the three resistors is given by;

R(effective) = R/3

Apply ohms law to determine the current delivered by the source;

V = IR

I = V/R

I = 3V/R

Also, power is calculated as;

P = IV

P = (3V/R) x V

P = 3V²/R

R = 3V² / P

R = (3 x 1.5²) / 3

R = 2.25 Ω

Therefore, the value of resistance of each resistor, R is 2.25 Ω

Answers

Answer:

a)  q = 7.5 10⁻² C , b) 190 J , c)  I₀ = 50 A , d) 1.5 mC

Explanation:

The expression for capacitance is

            C = q / DV

            q = C DV

let's reduce the magnitudes to the SI system

            ΔV = 5 kV = 5000 V

            C = 15 μF = 15 10⁻⁶ F

              t = 90 μs = 90 10⁻⁶ s

            q = 15 10⁻⁶ 5000

            q = 7.5 10⁻² C

b) the energy in a capacitor is

             U = ½ C ΔV²

             U = ½ 15 10⁻⁶ 5000²

             U = 1,875 10² J

answer  190 J

c) At the moment the discharge begins, all the current is available and it decreases with time,

whereby

                V = I R

in the first instant I = Io

                I₀ = V / R

                I₀ = 5000/100

                I₀ = 50 A

but this is for a very short time

answer 50 A

d) The definition of current is

            i = dq / dt

in this case they give us the total current and the total time, so we can find the total charge

            i = q / t

            q = i t

            q = 17 90 10⁻⁶

            q = 1.53 10⁻³ C

Answers

Answer:

The electric field is [tex]E = 5.25 V/m[/tex]

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

    The peak magnitude of the magnetic field is  [tex]B = 17.5 nT = 17.5 *10^{-9}\ T[/tex]

Generally the peak magnitude of the electric field is mathematically represented as

         [tex]E = c * B[/tex]

Where c is the speed of light with value [tex]c = 3.0 *10^{8} \ m/s[/tex]

So

       [tex]E = 3.0 *10^{8} * 17.5 *10^{-9}[/tex]

       [tex]E = 5.25 V/m[/tex]

The peak magnitude of the electric field will be "5.25 V/m".

Magnetic field

According to the question,

Magnetic field's peak magnitude, B = 17.5 nT or,

                                                           = 17.5 × 10⁻⁹ T

Speed of light, c = 3.0 × 10⁸ m/s

We know the relation,

→ E = c × B

By substituting the values, we get

      = 3.0 × 10⁸ × 17.5 × 10⁻⁹

      = 5.25 V/m

Thus the above approach is appropriate.

Parallel light rays with a wavelength of 563 nm fall on a single slit. On a screen 3.30 m away, the distance between the first dark fringes on either side of the central maximum is 4.70 mm . Part A What is the width of the slit

Answers

Answer:

The width of the slit is 0.4 mm (0.00040 m).

Explanation:

From the Young's interference expression, we have;

(λ ÷ d) = (Δy ÷ D)

where λ is the wavelength of the light, D is the distance of the slit to the screen, d is the width of slit and Δy is the fringe separation.

Thus,

d = (Dλ) ÷ Δy

D = 3.30 m, Δy = 4.7 mm (0.0047 m) and λ = 563 nm (563 ×[tex]10^{-9}[/tex] m)

d = (3.30 × 563 ×[tex]10^{-9}[/tex] ) ÷ (0.0047)

  = 1.8579 × [tex]10^{-6}[/tex] ÷ 0.0047

A skull believed to belong to an ancient human being has a carbon-14 decay rate of 5.4 disintegrations per minute per gram of carbon (5.4 dis/min*gC). If living organisms have a decay rate of 15.3 dis/min*gC, how old is this skull

Answers

Answer:

9.43*10^3 year

Explanation:

For this question, we ought to remember, or know that the half life of carbon 14 is 5730, and that would be vital in completing the calculation

To start with, we use the formula

t(half) = In 2/k,

if we make k the subject of formula, we have

k = in 2/t(half), now we substitute for the values

k = in 2 / 5730

k = 1.21*10^-4 yr^-1

In(A/A•) = -kt, on rearranging, we find out that

t = -1/k * In(A/A•)

The next step is to substitite the values for each into the equation, giving us

t = -1/1.21*10^-4 * In(5.4/15.3)

t = -1/1.21*10^-4 * -1.1041

t = 0.943*10^4 year

A. 380 kHz
B. 3.8 kHz
C. 85 kHz
D. 3.8 MHz

Answers

Answer:

380 kHz

Explanation:

The speed of sound is taken as 1500 m/s

The length of the fetus is 1.6 cm long

The condition is that the wavelength used must be at most 1/4 of the size of the object that is to be imaged.

For this 1.6 cm baby, the wavelength must not exceed

λ = [tex]\frac{1}{4}[/tex] of 1.6 cm = [tex]\frac{1}{4}[/tex] x 1.6 cm = 0.4 cm =

0.4 cm = 0.004 m   this is the wavelength of the required ultrasonic sound.

we know that

v = λf

where v is the speed of a wave

λ is the wavelength of the wave

f is the frequency of the wave

f = v/λ

substituting values, we have

f = 1500/0.004 = 375000 Hz

==> 375000/1000 = 375 kHz ≅ 380 kHz

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

      The stress is  [tex]\sigma = 1.50 *10^{8} \ N/m^2[/tex]

      The  diameter is  [tex]d = 2.40 \ cm = 0.024 \ m[/tex]

The radius is mathematically represented as

Here strain is mathematically represented as

         [tex]strain = \frac{ \Delta L }{L}[/tex]

So    

       [tex]E = \frac{ \sigma}{\frac{\Delta L }{L} }[/tex]

        [tex]E = \frac{\sigma }{1} * \frac{ L}{\Delta L }[/tex]

[tex] T = 2\pi*\sqrt{\frac{r^{3}}{GM}} [/tex]     (1)

Where:

r: is the radius of the circular orbit of the planet and the star

T: is the period

G: is the gravitational constant

M: is the mass of the planet

From equation (1) we have:

[tex] T = 2\pi*\sqrt{\frac{r^{3}}{GM}} = k*r^{3/2} [/tex]   (2)          

Where k is a constant

From equation (2) we have that of the two planets, the planet that is farther from the star must have a time period greater.

I hope it helps you!

Two separate disks are connected by a belt traveling at 5m/s. Disk 1 has a mass of 10kg and radius of 35cm. Disk 2 has a mass of 3kg and radius of 7cm.
a. What is the angular velocity of disk 1?
b. What is the angular velocity of disk 2?
c. What is the moment of inertia for the two disk system?

Answers

Explanation:

Given that,

Linear speed of both disks is 5 m/s

Mass of disk 1 is 10 kg

Radius of disk 1 is 35 cm or 0.35 m

Mass of disk 2 is 3 kg

Radius of disk 2 is 7 cm or 0.07 m

(a) The angular velocity of disk 1 is :

[tex]v=r_1\omega_1\\\\\omega_1=\dfrac{v}{r_1}\\\\\omega_1=\dfrac{5}{0.35}\\\\\omega_1=14.28\ rad/s[/tex]

(b) The angular velocity of disk 2 is :

[tex]v=r_2\omega_2\\\\\omega_2=\dfrac{v}{r_2}\\\\\omega_2=\dfrac{5}{0.07}\\\\\omega_2=71.42\ rad/s[/tex]

(c) The moment of inertia for the two disk system is given by :

[tex]I=I_1+I_2\\\\I=\dfrac{1}{2}m_1r_1^2+\dfrac{1}{2}m_2r_2^2\\\\I=\dfrac{1}{2}(m_1r_1^2+m_2r_2^2)\\\\I=\dfrac{1}{2}\times (10\times (0.35)^2+3\times (0.07)^2)\\\\I=0.619\ kg-m^2[/tex]

Hence, this is the required solution.

If mirror M2 in a Michelson interferometer is moved through 0.233 mm, a shift of 792 bright fringes occurs. What is the wavelength of the light producing the fringe pattern?

Answers

Answer:

The wavelength is  [tex]\lambda = 589 nm[/tex]

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

    The  distance of the mirror shift  is  [tex]k = 0.233 \ mm = 0.233*10^{-3} \ m[/tex]

      The number of fringe shift is  n =  792

       

Generally the wavelength producing this fringes is mathematically represented as

               [tex]\lambda = \frac{ 2 * k }{ n }[/tex]

substituting values

              [tex]\lambda = \frac{ 2 * 0.233*10^{-3} }{ 792 }[/tex]

             [tex]\lambda = 5.885 *10^{-7} \ m[/tex]

            [tex]\lambda = 589 nm[/tex]

Complete question:

A charge of 15C is moving with velocity of 6.2 x 10³ m/s which makes an angle of 48 degrees with respect to the magnetic field. If the force on the particle is 4838 N, find the magnitude of the magnetic field.

a. 0.06 T

b. 0.08 T

c. 0.07 T

d. 0.05 T

Answer:

The magnitude of the magnetic field is 0.07 T.

Explanation:

Given;

magnitude of the charge, q = 15C

velocity of the charge, v = 6.2 x 10³ m/s

angle between the charge and the magnetic field, θ = 48°

the force on the particle, F = 4838 N

The magnitude of the magnetic field can be calculated by applying Lorentz force formula;

F = qvBsinθ

where;

B is the magnitude of the magnetic field

B = F / vqsinθ

B = (4838) / (6.2 x 10³ x 15 x sin48)

B = 0.07 T

Therefore, the magnitude of the magnetic field is 0.07 T.
