If you have a 200g sample of a radioactive isotope that has a half life of 50 years, hc
much will you have left at the end of 200 years?
a. 12.5 g
b. 100 g
c. 50 g
d. 25 g

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

The correct option is;

a. 12.5 g

Explanation:

The given parameters are;

The initial mass of the radioactive substance = 200 g

The half life of the radioactive substance = 50 years

The time duration for the disintegration = 200 years

The formula for half life is given as follows;

[tex]N(t) = N_0 \left (\dfrac{1}{2} \right )^{\dfrac{t}{t_{1/2}}[/tex]

Where:

N(t) = Quantity of the remaining substance

N₀ = Initial radioactive substance quantity  = 200 g

t = Time duration  = 200 years

 

[tex]t_{1/2}[/tex] = Half life of the radioactive substance  50 years

Therefore, we have;

[tex]N(t) =200 \times \left (\dfrac{1}{2} \right )^{\dfrac{200}{50} } =200 \times \left (\dfrac{1}{2} \right )^4 = 12.5 \ g[/tex]

Therefore, at the end of 200 years, the quantity left = 12.5 g.

What two factors determine how much potential energy an object has?

Answers

Answer:

The mass of the object and its height in the gravitational field of the Earth.

Explanation:

If we are talking about gravitational potential energy which is defined as:

[tex]U=m\,*\,g\,*\,h[/tex]

being "m" the object's mass, "g" the acceleration due to gravity, and "h" the height at which the object is located relative to the conventionally picked level for zero of potential energy.

As long as the value of "g" is constant, the only two variables that determine the gravitational potential energy are the mass (m) of the object and its relative height (h).

Answers

Explanation:

a) Acceleration is the slope of the velocity vs time graph.  When velocity vs time is a straight line, that means the acceleration is a constant.  F = ma, so the resultant force is also constant.

b) As air resistance increases, the acceleration begins to decrease.

c) A falling object stops accelerating when it reaches terminal velocity.

d) F = ma, so when the acceleration is 0, the resultant force is also 0.

The ways to measure the mass and volume of irregular object​

Answers

Answer:

When we have irregular objects, it may become very hard to calculate the volume of the object, as we actually can not use any simple equation to find it.

The mass is less tricky, just find a scale and wheight it, now we know the mass of the irregular object.

One way to measure the volume of the object is using water... how we do it?

Get some recipient with water, measure the height of the water.

Introduce your object into the water and totally submerge it, now the level of the water will rise. This is because as you introduce the object under the water, you are displacing up a given volume of water that has the same volume as the irregular object.

Now that you know the height of the water before and after you put your object, you can easily calculate the volume of water displaced, and that will be the volume of the object (the tricky part may be totally submerging the object if, for example, is wood and it floats, here you can use a thin wire to push it down but it will affect a little bit the measures.)

Answers

Answer:

Explanation:

On rubbing a glass rod with silk, the electrons from the glass rod get transferred to the silk. The silk now has an excess of electrons and so is negatively-charged. On the other hand, the glass rod is deficient in electrons and hence is positively-charged.

In the above case, the silk undergoes negative electrification.

Now, when the positively charged glass rod is touched on the disc of a negatively charged gold leaf electroscope, the electrons shifts towards rod, hence amount of charge on gold leaves decreases and the divergence between the gold leaves decreases as unlike charges attract each other.

Hence, the divergence decreases when a glass rod rubbed with silk is brought near the disc of negatively charged electroscope.

Jaiden is writing a report about the structure of the atom in her report,she says that the atom has three main parts and two subatomic particles. Do you agree with her?why or why not

Answers

Answer:

I do not agree with the answer.

Because in reality, the atom has 2 main parts and 3 subatomic particles.

Explanation:

The parts of an atom are:

- The crust: It is the outer part of the atom and is the place where the electrons are.

- The nucleus: It is the central part of the atom and is the place that contains the protons and neutrons.

The subatomic particles of the atom are:

- Electrons: They are negatively charged particles that go in the atom's crust and are divided into specific sections.

- Protons: They are particles with a positive electric charge, the number of protons in the nucleus of an atom is what determines the atomic number of an element.

- Neutrons: They are atoms with no electric charge.

Dennis throws a volleyball up in the air. It reaches its maximum height 1.1\, \text s1.1s1, point, 1, start text, s, end text later. We can ignore air resistance. What was the volleyball's velocity at the moment it was tossed into the air?

Answers

Answer:

If max height = 1.1 meters, then initial velocity is 3.28 m/s

If max height is 1.1 feet, then the initial velocity is 5.93  ft/s

Explanation:

Recall the formulas for vertical motion under the acceleration of gravity;

for the vertical velocity of the object we have

[tex]v=v_0-g \,t[/tex]

for the object's vertical displacement we have

[tex]y-y_0=v_0\,t - \frac{g}{2} \,t^2[/tex]

If the maximum height reached by the object is given in meters, we use the value for g in [tex]m/s^2[/tex] which is: [tex]9.8\,\,m/s^2[/tex]

If the maximum height of the object is given in feet, we use the value for g in  [tex]ft/s^2[/tex]  which is : [tex]32\,\,ft/s^2[/tex]

Now, when the ball reaches its maximum height, the ball's velocity is zero, so that allows us to solve for the time (t) the process of reaching the max height takes:

[tex]v=v_0-g \,t\\0=v_0-g \,t\\g\,\,t=v_0\\t=\frac{v_0}{g}[/tex]

and now we use this to express the maximum height in the second equation we typed:

[tex]y-y_0=v_0\,t - \frac{g}{2} \,t^2\\max\,height=v_0\,(\frac{v_0}{g}) - \frac{g}{2} \,(\frac{v_0}{g})^2\\max\,height= \frac{v_0^2}{2\,g}[/tex]

Then if the max height is 1.1 meters, we use the following formula to solve for [tex]v_0[/tex]:

[tex]1.1= \frac{v_0^2}{2\,9.8}\\(9.8)\,(1.1)=v_0^2\\v_0=10.78\\v_0=\sqrt{10.78} \\v_0=3.28\,\,m/s[/tex]

If the max height is 1.1 feet, we use the following formula to solve for [tex]v_0[/tex]:

[tex]1.1= \frac{v_0^2}{2\,32}\\(32)\,(1.1)=v_0^2\\v_0=35.2\\v_0=\sqrt{35.2} \\v_0=5.93\,\,ft/s[/tex]

External locus of control is an attitude people possess that makes them attribute their failures or successes to factors other than themselves. The opposite of this type of attitude is the Internal locus of control where the individuals take responsibility for the outcomes of their actions whether good or bad. One good thing about the external locus of control is that when the individuals with this characteristic record successes, they attribute it to others and this presents them as people with team spirit. However, when they record failures, they do not want to take the blame, but rather attribute it to others.

Fred exhibits an external locus of control because he attributed his speeding to other factors like the road signs and GPS instead of fully admitting that it was his fault.

An object falls from a hovering helicopter and hits the ground at a speed of 30 m/s. How long does it take the object to reach the ground and how far does it fall? Sketch a velocity-time graph for the object (ignore air resistance).

Answers

Ignoring the air resistance it will take about 3 seconds for the object to reach the ground.We know that the acceleration due to gravity is 10m/s2.

We also know that the final velocity is 30 m/s while the initial velocity is 0 m/s

we can use the formulae for acceleration to calculate the time taken/

(final - initial velocity)/timetaken=10

(30-0)/timetaken=10

timetaken =30/10=3 seconds

You are hiking in a canyon and you notice an echo. You decide to let out a yell and notice it took 2 seconds before you heard the echo of your yell. How far away is the canyon wall that reflected your yell

Answers

Answer:

d = 343 m

Explanation:

Given that,

You notice that an echo took 2 seconds before you heard the echo of your yell.

We need to find that how far away is the canyon wall that reflected your yell. It means we need to find the distance.

The distance covered by an object is given by :

d = v × t

v is speed of sound in air, v = 343 m/s

The sound took 1 s to reach the wall and 1 s back to you.

It means that,

d = 343 × 1

d = 343 m

So, canyon will reflect your yell at a distance of 343 m

Answers

Answer:

a)  T = 1.26 s , b)  v_max = 0.14 m / s ,  a_max = 0.7 m / s²

c) x = 0.028 cos (5 t) ,    v = - 0.14 sin 5t,   a = - 0.7 cos 5t

Explanation:

This is a simple harmonic motion exercise that is described by the equation

    x = A cos (wt +Ф)

with

          w = √ (k / m)

let's apply this expression to our case

a) Angular velocity is related to frequency

          w = 2π f

frequency and period are related

          f = 1 / T

we substitute

         2π / T = √ (k / m)

         T = 2π √(m / k)

let's calculate

         T = 2π √(1/25)

          T = 1.26 s

In the expression for the period, the amplitude does not appear, therefore there is no dependence, as long as Hooke's law is fulfilled, which is correct for small amplitudes.

b) in the initial equation we have the position as a function of time, let's use the definition of speed and acceleration

           v = dx / dt

           v = - A w sin (wt + Ф)

the speed is maximum when the sine is -1

            v_max = A w

            w = √ (k / m)

            w = √ 25/1

            w = 5 rad / s

the amplitude of the movement is equal to the maximum compression of the spring

            A = 2.8 cm = 0.028 m

             

we substitute

            v_max = 0.028 5

            v_max = 0.14 m / s

acceleration

             a = dv / dt

             a = - A w² cos (wt + Ф)

the acceleration is maximum when the cosine is -1

             a_max = A w²

let's calculate

             a_max = 0.028 5²

             a_max = 0.7 m / s²

c) let's start by finding the phase constant

              v = -A w cos (wt + Ф)

at t = 0 they indicate that the system has v = 0

              0 = -A w sin (0 + Ф)

              Ф = sin⁻¹ 0

              Ф = 0

we write the equation

            x = 0.028 cos (5 t)

           v = - A w sin (wt + Ф)

           v = - 0.028 5 sin (5t + 0)

           v = - 0.14 sin 5t

acceleration

           a = - A w² cos (wt + Ф)

           a = - 0.028 5 2 cos (5 t + 0)

           a = - 0.7 cos 5t
