Two scientists are experimenting with pure samples of isotope X, a highly radioactive substance. The first scientist has a sample with a mass of 20 grams. He measures a half-life of 232 seconds. The second scientist has a sample of the same substance with a mass of 80 grams. What is the half-life that she is most likely to measure?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

Half-life does not depend on sample size, only on the constituents of the sample.

The second scientist should also observe a half-life of about 232 sec or 40 grams of  X remaining after 232 sec.  

Answer 2

Answer:

As it is the same substance, the half life will remain at 232 seconds.

Explanation:

Verified with correct test results.

Does gravity increase or decrease with greater mass???

Answers

Answer:

Increase

As the mass of either object increases, the force of gravitational attraction between them also increases.

Explanation:

The gravitational force is directly proportional to the mass of both interacting objects, more massive objects will attract each other with a greater gravitational force.

As the mass of either object increases, the force of gravitational attraction between them also increases.

A disk of a radius 50 cm rotates at a constant rate of 100 rpm. What distance in meters will a point on the outside rim travel during 30 seconds of rotation? ​ ​

Answers

Answer:

The point will travel a distance of 15708 centimeters in 30 seconds of rotation.

Explanation:

In this case, we see a disk rotating at constant rate, the travelled distance of a point on the outside rim ([tex]s[/tex]), in centimeters, is determined by using this expression:

[tex]s = \omega \cdot r\cdot t[/tex] (1)

Where:

[tex]\omega[/tex] - Angular speed, in radians per second.

[tex]r[/tex] - Radius of the disk, in centimeters.

[tex]t[/tex] - Time, in seconds.

If we know that [tex]\omega \approx 10.472\,\frac{rad}{s}[/tex], [tex]r = 50\,cm[/tex] and [tex]t = 30\,s[/tex], then the travelled distance of the point is:

[tex]s = \omega \cdot r\cdot t[/tex]

[tex]s = 15708\,cm[/tex]

The point will travel a distance of 15708 centimeters in 30 seconds of rotation.

Two ice skaters, with masses of 40.0 kg and 65.0 kg , are at the center of a 50.0 m -diameter circular rink. The skaters push off against each other and glide to opposite edges of the rink. Part A If the heavier skater reaches the edge in 10.0 s , how long does the lighter skater take to reach the edge

Answers

Answer:

6.15 s

Explanation:

From the question,

Applying the law of conservation of momentum

Momentum of the Heavier skater = Momentum of the lighter skater.

Mv = mV................. Equation 1

Where M = mass of the heavier skater, m = mass of the lighter skater, v = Velocity of heavier skater, V = velocity of the lighter skater.

But,

v = r/t........................ Equation 2

V = r/t'................ Equation 3

Where r = radius of the circular rink, t = time taken for the heavier skater to reach the edge, t' = time taken for the lighter skater to reach the edge.

Substitute equation 2 and equation 3 into equation 1

M(r/t) = m(r/t')............. Equation 4

Given: M = 65 kg, m = 40 kg, r = 50/2 = 25 m, t = 10 s.

Substitute into equation 4 and solve for t'

65(25/10) = 40(25/t')

162.5 = 1000/t'

t' = 1000/162.5

t' = 6.15 seconds

g A projectile of mass 3 kg is launched horizontally from an initial height 3 m with an initial velocity 10 m/s. This velocity in the x direction is preserved when you ignore air resistance. The projectile still accelerates in the vertical y direction toward the ground, but this is exactly the energy lost from potential energy. Energy is conserved as long as you use the total mechanical energy equation. What is the final kinetic energy as the projectile just reaches the ground

Answers

Answer:

The kinetic energy at ground will be "238.2 J".

Explanation:

The given values are:

mass,

m = 3 kg

Initial height,

h = 3 m

Initial velocity,

v = 10 m/s

By using the conservation of energy at points A and B,

⇒  [tex]E_A=E_B[/tex]

⇒  [tex]mgh+\frac{1}{2}mv^2=k_B[/tex]

On substituting the values, we get

⇒  [tex]3\times 9.8\times 3+\frac{1}{2}\times 3\times (10)^2=k_B[/tex]

⇒             [tex]88.2+0.5\times 3\times 100=k_B[/tex]

⇒                            [tex]88.2+150=k_B[/tex]

⇒                                    [tex]238.2 =k_B[/tex]

Answers

Answer:

Natural selection.

Explanation:

Natural selection can be defined as a biological process in which species of living organisms having certain traits that enable them to adapt to environmental factors such as predators, competition for food, climate change, sex mates, etc., tend to survive and reproduce, as well as passing on their genes to subsequent generations.

Simply stated, natural selection entails the survival of the fittest. Therefore, the species that are able to adapt to the environment will increase in number while the ones who can't adapt will die and go into extinction.

On the other hand, artificial selection is also known as selective breeding and it is a process that involves humans (breeders) selecting the animal or plant with desirable traits in order to reproduce favorable offspring having phenotypic traits.

When a mass is suspended from a spring the latter extends over a distance of 10cm. What will be the period of oscillations of the same system if it is placed horizontal on a frictionless surface​

Answers

Answer:

0.64 s

Explanation:

It's period of oscillation (T) can be determined by,

T = 2[tex]\pi[/tex][tex]\sqrt{\frac{l}{g} }[/tex]

Where l is the length (extension on the spring), and g the acceleration due to gravity.

But,

l = 10 cm = 0.1 m

g = 9.8 m/[tex]s^{2}[/tex]

Thus,

T = 2 x [tex]\frac{22}{7}[/tex] [tex]\sqrt{\frac{0.1}{9.8} }[/tex]

  = 0.6350

T = 0.64 s

The period of oscillation would be 0.64 s.

Answer:

The correct solution is "1230 K".

Explanation:

The given values are:

[tex](V_{rms})_1= 200 \ m/sec[/tex]

[tex](V_{rms})_2= 350 \ m/sec[/tex]

[tex]T_1=400 \ K[/tex]

As we know,

⇒  [tex]V_{rms} \propto \sqrt{T}[/tex]

or,

⇒  [tex]\frac{(V_{rms})_1}{(V_{rms})_2} =\sqrt{\frac{T_1}{T_2} }[/tex]

On substituting the values, we get

⇒  [tex]\frac{200}{350} =\sqrt{\frac{400}{T_2} }[/tex]

Determine the spring constant.

B.) How much would the spring in the previous question compress if a 5.2 kg mass was placed on the scale?

Answers

Explanation:

Given that,

Mass, m = 1.8 kg

Compression, x = 2.6 cm

We know that,

Force on spring = weight

So,

[tex]mg=kx[/tex]

Where

k is spring constant

[tex]k=\dfrac{mg}{x}\\\\k=\dfrac{1.8\times 9.8}{2.6\times 10^{-2}}\\\\k=678.46\ N/m[/tex]

(2) If m = 5.2 kg

[tex]x=\dfrac{mg}{k}\\\\x=\dfrac{1.8\times 9.8}{678.46}\\\\x=2.6 \ cm[/tex]

Hence, this is the required solution.

A 45.7 kg woman starts from rest at the bottom of a flight of stairs that has
a total height of 2.54 meters. She reaches the top of the stairs
in 5.00 seconds. How much power does she generate if she is moving at
2.63 m/s at the top of the stairs? Use g = 9.8 m/s2, and only include 3
numbers in your answer.

Answers

Answer:

The power generated by the woman is 259 W

Explanation:

Given;

mass of the woman, m = 45.7 kg

initial velocity of the woman, u = 0

total height ascended by the woman, h = 2.54 m

time of the woman's motion, t = 5.0 s

final velocity of the woman, v = 2.63 m/s

acceleration due to gravity, g =  9.8 m/s²

The potential energy of the woman due to the height she ascended;

P.E = mgh

P.E = 45.7 x 9.8 x 2.54

P.E = 1137.564 J

The kinetic energy of the woman due to her final velocity;

K.E = ¹/₂mv²

K.E = ¹/₂ x 45.7 x (2.63)²

K.E = 158.051 J

The total mechanical energy of the woman at the top of the stairs;

M.E = P.E + K.E

M.E = 1137.564 J  +  158.051 J

M.E = 1295.615 J

The power generated by the woman;

Power = Energy/time

Power = 1295.615 J / 5 s

Power = 259.123 W

Power = 259 W
