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

2069 (Set B) Q. No. 9d How much force is required to punch a hole 1 cm in diameter in a steel sheet 5mm thick whose shearing strength is 2.76 × 108 Nm 2. X [4]​

Answers

The force required to punch a hole 1 cm in diameter in a steel sheet is 0.176 x 10¹³ N.

What is force?

The force is defined as the shear stress or pressure applied per unit area.

F = P/A

Given is a steel sheet whose thickness t = 5mm = 5x 10⁻³ m, shearing strength P = 2.76 × 10⁸ N/m², diameter of hole d = 1cm = 1x 10⁻² m

The area to be punched A = πd xt

A = π x 1x 10⁻² x5x 10⁻³

A = 15.7 x 10⁻⁵ m²

The force required to punch a hole is

F = 2.76 × 10⁸ /  15.7 x 10⁻⁵

F = 0.176 x 10¹³ N.

Thus, the punching force is  0.176 x 10¹³ N.

You want to lift a heavy box with a mass L = 56.0 kg using the two-ideal pulley system as shown. With what minimum force do you have to pull down on the rope in order to lift the box at a constant velocity? One pulley is attached to the ceiling and one to the box.

Answers

The minimum force required to lift the box at constant velocity is determined as 274.4 N.

Minimum force required

The minimum force required to lift the box at constant velocity is the tension in one of the pulleys, and the magnitude is calculated as follows;

2T = mg

where;

m is mass of the boxT is the minimum force required

2T = mg

T = mg/2

T = (56 x 9.8)/2

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]

?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 enthalpy of vaporization is a function of the pressure at which that transformation takes place. 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 ).

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%

If 12 photovoltaic cells at 0.5 V each produce a total of 6 V of potential energy and carry a 1 A current to your phone, what are the power output of these cells and the resistance inside your phone? P = VI and R = V/I (Show calculations and units)

Answers

The power output of the cells is 6 watts and the resistance inside the phone is 6 Ohms.

What is power output?

Power Output can be defined as the average rate of electric energy delivery in a circuit.

The S.I unit of power is Watts (W)

Resistance can be defined as the opposition to the flow of electric current caused by a substance.

The S.I unit of resistance is Ohm, denoted with the symbol (Ω)

How to calculate the power output and resistance

Using the formula given;

Power output, P = VI

where V = voltage = 0.5 × 12 V = 6V

I = current = 1 A

Power output = 6 × 1 = 6 Watts

Resistance = V ÷ I = 6 ÷ 1 = 6 Ohms

Therefore, the power output of the cells is 6 watts and the resistance inside the phone is 6 Ohms.
