The half-life of radium-226 is 1590 years. (a) A sample of radium-226 has a mass of 100 mg. Find a formula for the mass of the sample that remains after t years. (b) Find the mass after 1000 years correct to the nearest milligram. (c) When will the mass be reduced to 40 mg? SOLUTION (a) Let m(t) be the mass of radium-226 (in milligrams) that remains after t years. Then dm/dt = km and m(0) = 100, so this theorem gives m(t) = m(0)ekt = ekt. In order to determine the value of k, we use the fact that m(1590) = 1 2 . Thus e1590k = so e1590k = and 1590k = ln 1 2 = − ln(2) k = . Therefore m(t) = . We could use the fact that eln(2) = 2 to write the expression for m(t) in the alternative form m(t) = . (b) The mass after 1000 years is as follows. (Round your final answer to the nearest milligram.) m(1000) = ≈ mg

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

See explanation

Explanation:

a) Formula for the mass of the sample that remains after t years = N= Noe^-kt

Where;

N = mass at time t years

No = mass at time t= 0

k = decay constant

t = time taken

So,

N = 100e^-kt

b) First,

t1/2 = -ln(1/2)/k

t1/2 = 0.693/k

t1/2 = half life of radium-226 =1590 years

1590 = 0.693/k

k = 0.693/1590

k = 4.36 * 10^-4

So,

N= 100e^-(4.36 * 10^-4 * 1000)

N= 65 mg

c) From

N = 100e^-kt

40 = 100e^-(4.36 * 10^-4t)

40/100 = e^-(4.36 * 10^-4t)

0.4 = e^-(4.36 * 10^-4t)

ln(0.4) = ln(e^-(4.36 * 10^-4t))

-0.9163 = -4.36 * 10^-4t

t = 0.9163/4.36 * 10^-4

t = 2102 years

A plastic ball in a liquid is acted upon by its weight and by a buoyant force. The weight of the ball is 4 N. The buoyant force has a magnitude of 5 N and acts vertically upward. When the ball is released from rest, what is it's acceleration and direction? [2 pts] for a Free Body Diagram correctly labeled.​

Answers

Answer:

The acceleration is 2.448 meters per square second and is vertically upward.

Explanation:

The Free Body Diagram of the plastic ball in the liquid is presented in the image attached below. By Second Newton's Law, we know that forces acting on the plastic ball is:

[tex]\Sigma F = F - m\cdot g = m\cdot a[/tex] (1)

Where:

[tex]F[/tex] - Buoyant force, measured in newtons.

[tex]m[/tex] - Mass of the plastic ball, measured in kilograms.

[tex]g[/tex] - Gravitational acceleration, measured in meters per square second.

[tex]a[/tex] - Net acceleration, measured in meters per square second.

If we know that [tex]F = 5\,N[/tex], [tex]m = 0.408\,kg[/tex] and [tex]g = 9.807\,\frac{m}{s^{2}}[/tex], then the net acceleration of the plastic ball is:

[tex]a = \frac{F}{m} - g[/tex]

[tex]a= 2.448\,\frac{m}{s^{2}}[/tex]

The acceleration is 2.448 meters per square second and is vertically upward.

For this exercise let's use Faraday's Law

           emf = [tex]- \frac{d \phi}{dt}[/tex] -  d fi / dt

           [tex]\phi[/tex] = B. A

           \phi = B A cos θ

The bold are vectors. It indicates that the area of the body is A = 0.046 m², the magnetic field B = 1.4 T, also iindicate that the normal to the area is parallel to the field, therefore the angle θ = 0 and cos 0 =1.

suppose a linear change of the magnetic field

            emf = - A [tex]\frac{B_f - B_o}{ \Delta t}[/tex]

             Dt = - A  [tex]\frac{B_f - B_o}{emf}[/tex]

the final field before a fault is zero

In 1976, a 53 kg helicopter was built in Denmark. Suppose this helicopter flew east with a speed of 60.0 m/s and the total momentum of the helicopter and pilot was 7,200 kg∙m/s to the east. What was the mass of the pilot?

Answers

Answer:

67 kg.

Explanation:

From the question,

Total momentum = (mass of the pilot+ mass of the helicopter)×velocity.

I = (m+M)v............................... Equation 1

Where I = Total momentum of the pilot and the helicopter, m = mass of the pilot, M = mass of the helicopter, v = velocity.

make m the subject of the equation

m = (I/v)-M.............................. Equation 2

Given: I = 7200 kg.m/s, v = 60 m/s, M = 53 kg.

Substitute these values into equation 2

m = (7200/60)-53

m = 120-53

m = 67 kg.

Hence the mass of the pilot is 67 kg

A ball is thrown straight up with an initial velocity of 128 ft/sec, so that its height (in feet) after t sec is given by s(t) = 128t-16t2. (a) What is the average velocity of the ball over the following time intervals? [3,4] ft/sec [3,3.5] ft/sec [3,3.1] ft/sec (b) What is the instantaneous velocity at time t = 3? ft/sec (c) What is the instantaneous velocity at time t = 6? ft/sec Is the ball rising or falling at this time? rising falling (d) When will the ball will hit the ground? t = sec

Answers

Answer:

one sec let me think

Explanation:

(a)The average velocity of the ball over the following time intervals will be  [3,4] ft/sec.

(b)The instantaneous velocity at time t = 3 will be32 ft/sec.

(c)The instantaneous velocity at time t = 6 will be -64 ft/sec.

(d)The ball will hit the ground at 13.4 sec.

What is velocity?

The change of displacement with respect to time is defined as the velocity.  velocity is a vector quantity. it is a time-based component.

The given data in the question will be ,

u is the initial velocity by which ball thrown=128 ft/sec.

V₃ is the instantaneous velocity at time t=3 sec.

V₆ is the instantaneous velocity at time t=6 sec.

t is the time when ball hits the ground=?

(a) Given equation for the displacement

s(t) =128t-16t²     (on differenting got the velocity )

v(t) = 128-32t

Time when velocity is zero will be

[tex]\rm{ t=\frac{128}{32}[/tex]

[tex]\rm{ t=4 sec[/tex]

If the velocity got in the equation is 128 and 32 ft /sec. it can be only when the average velocity is [3,4] ft/sec .

Hence the average velocity obtained from the problem will be  [3,4] ft/sec

(b)  

s(t) =128t-16t²     (on differenting got the velocity )

v(t) = 128-32t

At time( t=3 sec)

v(3) = 128-32×3

v(3) =32 m/sec.

Hence the instantaneous velocity at time t = 3 will be32 ft/sec.

(c)

s(t) =128t-16t²     (on differenting got the velocity )

v(t) = 128-32t

At time( t=6 sec)

v(6) = 128-32×6

v(6) = -64 m/sec.

Hence the instantaneous velocity at time t = 6 will be -64 ft/sec.

(d)

According to Newtons third equation of motion we got

v=u+gt

If the body returens from a certain height at max height its velocity must be zero; ( u=0)

[tex]\rm t=\frac{(v-u)}{g} \\\\\ \rm t=\frac{(128-0)}{9.81}\\\\\rm t=13.04 sec.[/tex]

Hence the ball will hit the ground at 13.4 sec.

A satellite orbits Earth 350 km above Earth's surface. Calculate the free-fall acceleration at this altitude.

Answers

Answer:

8.82 m/s²

Explanation:

Formula for the free fall or gravitational acceleration is;

a = GM/r²

Where;

G is gravitational constant = 6.67 × 10^(-11) m³/kg.s²

M is mass of earth = 5.972 × 10^(24) kg

r is radius of earth = 6371 km

We are given that the satellite orbits Earth 350 km above Earth's surface.

Thus, new radius = 6371 + 350 = 6721 km = 6721000 m

Thus;

a = (6.67 × 10^(-11) × 5.972 × 10^(24))/(6721000²)

a = 8.82 m/s²

We intend to measure the open-loop gain (LaTeX: A_{open}A o p e n ) of an actual operational amplifier. The magnitude of LaTeX: A_{open}A o p e n is in the range of 106 V/V. However, the signal generator in measurement setup can supply minimal voltage of 1 mV, and the oscilloscope used at amplifier output can measure maximal voltage level of 10 V. Can you design a simple measurement setup using this signal generator and oscilloscope, and accurately measure the LaTeX: A_{open}A o p e n

Answers

Answer:

voltage divider,  R₂ = 1000 R₁

measuring the output in the resistance R₁

Explanation:

Let's analyze the situation, in an op amp in open gain loop, the gain is maximum G = 10⁶ V / V

in this case the signal generator gives a minimum wave of 1 10⁻³ V, after passing through the amplified it becomes 10³ V which saturates the oscilloscope.

To solve this problem we must use a simple voltage divider, for this we use the fact that in a series circuit the voltage is the sum of the voltages of each element.

If we use two resistors whose relationship is

            R₂ / R₁ = 10³

            R₂ = 1000 R₁

When measuring the output in the resistance R₁ we have the desired divider, with a tolerance range, for the minimum output of the generator (1 10⁻³V) we have a reading of V = 1 V in the oscilloscope, for which we can use voltage up to 10V on the generator

You pull with a force of 295 N on a rope that is attached to a block of mass 22 kg, and the block slides across the floor at a constant speed of 1.6 m/s. The rope makes an angle of 35 degrees with the horizontal. What is the net force on the block

Answers

Answer:

Fnet = 0

Explanation:

Since the block slides across the floor at constant speed, this means that it's not accelerated.According Newton's 2nd Law, if the acceleration is zero, the net force on the sliding mass must be zero.This means that there must be a friction force opposing to the horizontal component of the applied force, equal in magnitude to it:

       [tex]F_{appx} = F_{app} * cos \theta = 295 N * cos 35 = 242 N (1)[/tex]

In the vertical direction, the block is not accelerated either, so the sum of the normal force and the vertical component of the applied force, must be equal in magnitude to the force of gravity on the block:

      [tex]F_{appy} = F_{app} * cos \theta = 295 N * sin 35 = 169 N (2)[/tex]

⇒    169 N + Fn = Fg = 216 N  (3)

This means that there must be a normal force equal to the difference between Fappy and Fg, as follows:Fn = 216 N - 169 N = 47  N (4)

At the bottom of the air track, the glider hits and stretches a rubber band, that causes the glider to change direction. When the rubber band is maximally stretched, the glider's kinetic energy is zero, because it is momentarily at rest. Since the glider is at the bottom of the air track, its (gravitational) potential energy is also zero. So the sum of the kinetic energy and gravitational potential energies is zero, yet energy is conserved. Where did the energy go?

Answers

Answer:

That energy is the elastic potential energy of the rubber band. At the bottom position, all the energy is being stored in the stretched rubber band, in the form of elastic potential energy.

Explanation:

When the glider reaches the bottom, its kinetic energy and potential energy become zero due to zero velocity and zero height, respectively. So, the sum of these energies will become zero. This will violate the law of conservation f energy. Hence, there must be a third type of energy that accounts for the conservation of the energy of the system at other configurations.

That energy is the elastic potential energy of the rubber band. At the bottom position, all the energy is being stored in the stretched rubber band, in the form of elastic potential energy.

Given that an enormous thunderstorm covers Dallas-Ft. Worth. Your best friend Clark is a storm chaser and heads to the center of the storm to take some readings while you stay dry at home. While Clark is at the center of the storm, he sees and hears lightning strike a tree that is 190 m from where he is standing. You are 140 km from the tree. How long does it take for the sound to reach Clark

Solution.

The distance between the Clark and you will be:

Distance = 140km - 190m

Distance = 140000 - 190

Distance = 139810 m

The radius of the earth is also considered but it will surely be insignificant as you subtracted the two distance values.

Using the formula

Speed = distance/time

Where

The speed of sound = 343 m/s

343 = 139810 / t

Make time the subject of formula

t = 139810 / 343

t = 407.61 s

Therefore, it will take 407.61 seconds for the sound to reach Clark
