Calculate how many half-lives are required for a number of radio-active nuclei to decrease to one-millionth of
the initial number.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

it would depend on which element u would be considering

Explanation:

as helium , oxygen , carbon ,sodium and other would be easier while plutonium , americium and other very radioactive elements would be harder

Answer 2

Answer:

~ 20 half lives

Explanation:

(1/2) ^n   = 1/1,000,000     n = number of half-lives

                                        LOG both sides to get

n LOG 1/2 = -6

n = -6/(LOG (1/2)) = 19.931    or approx  20 half lives

a body covers a distance of 20 m in 2 second and then covers 40 metre in next it s8 on a straight line calculate its velocity​

Answers

Answer:

6 m/s

Explanation:

Average velocity = Total distance covered / Time taken to cover distance

Finding Average Velocity :

⇒ 20 m + 40 m / 2 s + 8 s

⇒ 60 m / 10 s

6 m/s

Velocity

a body covers a distance of 20 m in 2 second and then covers 40 metre in next it s8 on a straight line calculate its velocity.

Solution:

AV = 20m + 40m/s 2s + 8secondAV = 60m/s ÷ 10sAV = 6m/s²

So the Average velocity is 6m/s²

Fig.3 shows three 10 g particles that have been glued to a rod of length L = 6 cm and negligible mass. The assembly can rotate around a perpendicular axis through point O at the left end. a) How much work is required to change the rotational rate from 40 to 60 rad/s?

b) If the outermost particle is removed, by what percentage does the rotational inertia of the assembly around the rotation axis decrease?

Answers

(a) The amount of work required to change the rotational rate is 0.0112 J.

(b) The decrease in the rotational inertia when the outermost particle is removed is 64.29%.

Moment of inertia of the rod

The moment of inertia of the rod from the axis of rotation is calculated as follows;

I = md² + m(2d)² + m(3d)²

where;

m is mass = 10 g = 0.01 kgd = 3 equal division of the length

d = 6/3 = 2 cm = 0.02 m

I = md²(1 + 2² + 3²)

I = 14md²

I = 14(0.01)(0.02)²

I = 5.6 x 10⁻⁵ kg/m³

Work done to change the rotational rate

K.E = ¹/₂Iω²

K.E = ¹/₂(5.6 x 10⁻⁵)(60 - 40)²

K.E = ¹/₂(5.6 x 10⁻⁵)(20)²

K.E = 0.0112 J

Percentage decrease of rotational inertia when the outermost particle is removed

I₂ = md² + m(2d)²

I₂ = 5md²

ΔI = 14md² - 5md²

ΔI = 9md²

η = (ΔI/I) x 100%

η = (9md²/14md²) x 100%

η = 64.29 %

A boy whirls a ball on a string 1.0 m long in a horizontal circle at 50 rpm. If the mass of the ball is 0.22 kg
What is the tension in the string?

Answers

Hi there! :)

We can begin by doing a summation of forces on the ball. In the horizontal direction, we have the force of tension:
[tex]F_{Net} = T[/tex]

The tension force results in a centripetal force experienced by the ball. The equation of centripetal force is equivalent to:
[tex]F_C = m\omega^2 r[/tex]

[tex]F_C[/tex] = Centripetal force (N)
m = mass of ball (0.22 kg)

ω = angular speed of ball(? rad/sec, must convert rpm to rad/sec)

r = radius/length of string (1.0 m)

We must begin by converting rpm to rad/sec:

[tex]\frac{50 rev}{min} * \frac{2\pi rad}{1 rev}* \frac{1 min}{60 sec} = 5.236 \frac{rad}{s}[/tex]

Now, we can set tension equal to the centripetal force and solve. [tex]T = F_{Net} = F_C\\\\T = m\omega^2 r\\\\T = (0.22)(5.236^2)(1) = \boxed{6.031 N}[/tex]

A lamp with a resistance of 60 Ohms is plugged into a 110-Volt household circuit. How much current flows through the lamp?

Answers

The current flowing through the lamp is  1.833A

What is current?

The current is the stream of charges which flow inside the conductors when connected across the end of voltage.

From the Ohm's law, V =IR

Here, R is the proportionality constant called resistance of the resistor

A lamp with a resistance of 60 Ohms is plugged into a 110-Volt household circuit.

I = V/R

Put the values, we get

I = 110/60

Explanation:

Given:

?How much work is done by 5 kg water as it is evaporated at 10 bar pressure​

Answers

Answer:

The (latent) heat of vaporization (∆Hvap) also known as the enthalpy of vaporization or evaporation, is the amount of energy (enthalpy) that must be added to a liquid substance, to transform a given quantity of the substance into a gas.

The heat of vaporization diminishes with increasing temperature and it vanishes completely at a certain point called the critical temperature (Critical temperature for water: 373.946 °C  or 705.103 °F,  Critical pressure: 220.6 bar = 22.06 MPa  = 3200 psi ).
