A sample of Radon-222 has a half-life of 3.82 days. After 11.46 days, there is 5 grams of Radon-222 remaining. How much Radon-222 was in the original sample?


30 grams

2 grams

15 grams

40 grams

Answers

Answer 1
Answer: 40

Explanation:

The formula for radioactive decay is as follows:

Q = Q0 x (e^-rt), in which Q is the remaining mass after decay, Q0 is the original sample mass, r is the constant of decay, and t is the time given to decay.

We first start by finding the constant of decay which is r = ln2/t(1/2), natural log of 2 divided by the half life. (Note that you can similarly find the half life if given the constant in t(1/2) = ln2/r)

1) ln2/3.82
2) r = 0.181452141

Now that we have all our givens necessary, we can apply into the formula:

1) 5 = Q0 x (e^(-0.181452141x11.46))
2) 5 = Q0 x (e^(-2.079441536))
3) 5 = Q0 x 0.125
4) Q0 = 5/0.125
5) Q0 = 40

Hope this helps, brainliest would be appreciated :)

Why does a ship float on water when it weighs about 100tones and why a stone of less than a kg sinks

Answers

Answer with Explanation:

Let me answer this in a simple way, since the density of stone is greater than that of water, the stone sinks as the weight of the stone is greater than the weight of water displaced by it. But the ship is designed in such a way that the relative density of the ship always becomes less than that of water. Therefore, the weight of the water displaced becomes equal to the total weight of the ship and thus it floats.

There are many other ways to explain this but this should give you the general idea.

Answer:

D. The overall enthalpy change for a reaction is independent of the route the reaction takes.

Answer: Hess's law states that the overall enthalpy change for a reaction is independent of the route the reaction takes. Option D is correct.

It is given Hess's law.

It is required to state the Hess's law.

What is Hess's law ?

Thermochemical equations can be manipulated to give the data chemical reactions. We find exactly how much energy will be absorbed or released by the reaction because we may face various explosions.

There are mainly two ways to calculate ΔH of any reaction. First If the reaction has ΔH then the reverse of the reaction will have opposite ΔH and the second is if double the ΔH of the substances, double the ΔH.

Therefore Hess's law states that the overall enthalpy change for a reaction is independent of the route the reaction takes.

Determina el potencial eléctrico en la posición de Q2.

Answers

Answer:

1. a. 3,000 N

b. Repulsión

2. 46.875 × 10⁶ N/C

3. a. 81,000 J

b. 6.75 × 10⁹ V

Explanation:

1. Los parámetros dados son;

Q₁ = +12 μC, Q₂ = +16 μC

La distancia entre las cargas, r = 0.024

La magnitud de la fuerza electrostática, F, entre cargas se da como sigue;

[tex]F = k \times \dfrac{Q_1 \cdot Q_2}{r^2}[/tex]

Donde, k = constante de Coulomb = 9.0 × 10⁹ N · m² / C²

Por lo tanto, obtenemos;

F = 9.0 × 10⁹ × 12 × 10⁻⁶ × 16 × 10⁻⁶ / 0.024² = 3.000

La magnitud de la fuerza electrostática, entre las cargas, F = 3000 N

(b) Dado que tanto Q₁ como Q₂ son cargas positivas, y las cargas iguales se repelen entre sí, la fuerza es la repulsión.

2) La intensidad de un campo eléctrico, E, se da como sigue;

[tex]E = \dfrac{k \cdot Q}{r^2}[/tex]

La magnitud de la carga, Q = 24 μC

La distancia donde se mide el campo, r = 48 mm = 0.048 m

Por lo tanto, E = 9.0 × 10⁹ × 12 × 10⁻⁶ / 0.048² = 46,875,000 N / C

La intensidad de un campo eléctrico, E = 46,875,000 N / C = 46.875 × 10⁶ N / C

3. La magnitud de las cargas son;

Q₁ = 24 mC

Q₂ = -12 μC

La distancia entre las cargas, r = 0.032 m

un. El potencial eléctrico de una carga, [tex]U_E[/tex] , se da de la siguiente manera;

[tex]U_E = k \times \dfrac{Q_1 \cdot Q_2}{r}[/tex]

Por lo tanto;

[tex]U_E[/tex] = 9.0×10⁹ × 24 × 10⁻³ × (-12) × 10⁻⁶ /0.032 = -81,000

La energía potencial eléctrica entre la carga, Q₁ y Q₂= -81,000 J

b. El potencial eléctrico de Q₁ en Q₂, V₁ = [tex]k \times \dfrac{Q_1 }{r}[/tex]

Por lo tanto, V₁ = 9.0×10⁹ × 24 × 10⁻³/0.032 = 6.75 × 10⁹

El potencial eléctrico de Q₁ en Q₂, V₁ = 6.75 × 10⁹ V

Luis rushes 40m toward his truck. He notices he forgot his shoes and returns back to his house. His total travel time is 60s.

What is Luis’s average speed over the 60s?
What is Luis average velocity over the 60s?

Answers

1. The average speed of Luis over the 60 s is 1.33 m/s

2. The average velocity of Luis over the 60 s is zero.  

1. The average speed can be calculated with the following equation:

[tex] S = \frac{d}{t} [/tex]

Where:

d: is the total distance traveled

t: is the total time = 60 s

The total distance can be calculated by the sum of the distance traveled to the truck (40 m) and the distance traveled to his home (the same 40 m), as follows:

[tex] d = 40 m + 40 m = 80 m [/tex]

So, the average speed is:

[tex] S = \frac{d}{t} = \frac{80 m}{60 s} = 1.33 m/s [/tex]

Hence, Luis's average speed over the 60 s is 1.33 m/s.

 

2. Now, the average velocity is a vector given by:

[tex]v = \frac{\Delta x}{\Delta t} = \frac{x_{f} - x_{i}}{t}[/tex]

Where:

[tex]x_{f}[/tex]: is the final distance traveled (the way to his home) = 40 m

[tex]x_{i}[/tex]: is the initial distance traveled (the way to his truck) = 40 m

Δt: is the total time = t = 60 s

Given that Luis in his journey, returns to the same starting point (his house), the total displacement is zero, and so the average velocity is also zero:                              

[tex]v = \frac{x_{f} - x_{i}}{t} = \frac{40 m - 40 m}{60 s} = 0[/tex]

Therefore, Luis's average velocity over the 60 s is zero.

A 4000 N force acts on an object that initially has a momentum of 400 kg-m/s for 0.9 seconds. What is the final momentum of the system?

Answers

Answer:

4360 Kgm/s

Explanation:

Applying,

Ft = M-M'................. Equation 1

Where F = force, t = time, M = Final momentum, M' = Initial momentum.

make M the subject of the equation

M = Ft+M'............ Equation 2

From the question,

Given: F = 4000 N, t = 0.9 seconds, M' = 400 kg-m/s

Substitute these values into equation 2

M = 4000+(0.9×400)

M = 4000+360

M = 4360 kgm/s

Hence the final momentum is 4360 kgm/s
