The nucleus 22Na undergoes β+ decay with a half life of 2.6 years (note: 1 year = 3.2x10^7 seconds). You start out with a sample of 22Na with an activity of 3.0 x 10^4 Bq. (a) What is the number of 22Na atoms in your initial sample? (b) After two half lives (5.2 years), what is the activity of your sample?

Answers

Answer 1

The number of 22Na atoms in the initial sample N = 3.56 x 10¹² atoms. The activity of the sample is 1/4 of the initial activity: A = 7.5 x 10³ Bq.

The decay of radioactive isotopes follows an exponential decay law, which means that the amount of the radioactive substance remaining after a certain time can be expressed as a fraction of its initial amount. This fraction is determined by the isotope's half-life, which is the time it takes for half of the initial amount to decay.

In the case of 22Na, the half-life is 2.6 years. This means that after 2.6 years, half of the original 22Na atoms would have decayed, and only half would remain. After another 2.6 years, half of the remaining atoms would decay again, leaving only one-quarter (1/2 x 1/2 = 1/4) of the original number of atoms.

So, if the initial sample contained N atoms of 22Na, after two half-lives, the remaining number of atoms would be N/4. This exponential decay of radioactive isotopes is the basis of many applications in science and technology, such as radiocarbon dating and nuclear power generation.

state and explain the joules law​

Answers

Answer:

Joule’s law of heating states that when a current ‘i ' passes through a conductor of resistance ‘r’ for time ‘t’ then the heat developed in the conductor is equal to the product of the square of the current, the resistance and time.

H = i 2 rt

The reason behind the heat produced is the collision of the free electrons with the lattice ions or atoms while accelerating in presence of the external electric field.

we know that

volt= work done/ total charge or v = w/q

from this we get w= vq

we know that current i = q / t

so q = it

putting this in prev equation

we get w = vit

from ohms law v = ir

putting it in prev eq we get

w = irit = i2rt joule as work is stored as heat soH = I2RT Joules

if a current carrying conductor having resistance (r) gets heated by to passing of current (i) for time (t) and the heat thereby produced be H

joules law states that

H propotional to i^ 2 when r and t are constant

H propotional to r when I and t are constant

H propotional to t when r and I constant

The electromagnetic spectrum is divided into regions by Group of answer choices a.wavelengths and frequencies b.the way they are used c.speed d.colors

Answers

Answer:

Generally, by wavelengths and frequencies.

Colors only occur for a narrow portion of the spectrum.

The speed for these waves is c the speed of light regardless of wavelength.

The way they are used seems somewhat irrelevant.

The electromagnetic spectrum is divided into regions by wavelengths and frequencies. The spectrum is arranged in the order of increasing frequency.

What is electromagnetic spectrum ?

The electromagnetic spectrum is the arrangement of waves in  the  order increasing frequency or decreasing wavelength. The order of the spectra starts from radio waves, microwaves, infrared, visible light, ultraviolet, x -rays and gamma rays.

The visible light that we can see is in between IR and UV rays. Hence, visible light has a frequency greater than IR rays but shorter than IR. Similarly visible light is longer than UV- rays but less frequency than UV rays.

Gamma  rays are the most energetic and shorter waves in the electromagnetic spectrum with smaller wavelength and greater frequency. Hence, options a is correct.

If a storm is 7.5 kilometers away, how much time is expected between observations of lightning and thunder?

Answers

Answer. Time taken to hear the thunder is : 7500 / 343 = 21.88 Seconds.

Answer:

≈ 22 seconds

Explanation:

7,5 km = 7500 m

Speed of light 300 000 000 m/s (for lightning)

Speed of sound 343 m/s (for thunder)

time = distance / speed

lightning time = 7500 m / 300 000 000 m/s = 0.000025 s

thunder time = 7500 m / 343 m/s ≈ 22 s

thunder time - lightning time = 22 s - 0.000025 s ≈ 22 s

Explanation

The correct answer is (b) [tex]5.17*10^{5}m[/tex]

Let us consider an object of mass m on the planet Q.

On planet Q, let the acceleration due to gravity be g = 2.24 m/[tex]s^{2}[/tex]

Mass of the planet is M = [tex]8.96*10^{21} kg[/tex]

Let its radius be R

Gravitational Force acting on the object:

[tex]mg=\frac{GMm}{R^{2} }[/tex]

[tex]R=\sqrt{\frac{GM}{g} } \\R=\sqrt{\frac{6.67*10^{-11}*8.96*10^{21} }{2.24} }\\R=5.17*10^{5} m[/tex] is the radius of the planet Q.

The electrostatic force between two charged metal spheres is 2N. If the charge on each sphere is doubled, what is the new force between the spheres?

Question 2 options:
A. 2N
B. 4N
C. 1N
D. 8

Answers

Answer:

8 N

Explanation:

The force between two charges is given by :

[tex]F=\dfrac{kq_1q_2}{d^2}[/tex]

Where

k is electrostatic constant

d is the distance between two charges

It means,

[tex]F\propto \dfrac{1}{d^2}[/tex]

When the distance is d, the force is 2 N. If the charge on each sphere is doubled, q₁' = q₂' = 2q₁ = 2q₂. New force will becomes:

[tex]F'=\dfrac{kq_1'q_2'}{d^2}\\\\F'=\dfrac{k2q_1\times 2q_2}{d^2}\\\\F'=4\times \dfrac{kq_1q_2}{d^2}\\\\F'=4\times 2\\\\F'=8\ N[/tex]

So, the new force becomes 8N. Hence, the correct option is (d).

Motion and acceleration may only be used to refer to physical objects moving or changing speed/direction

Answers

Answer:

True

Explanation:

It is TRUE that Motion and acceleration may only be used to refer to physical objects moving or changing speed/direction.

This is because if an object is not moving or changing speed/direction to a determined point of reference, the object is considered to be at rest or motionless, thereby, with no absolute point of reference, absolute motion or acceleration cannot be distinguished.

If a girl walks 6km due west changes directions and walk another 5km due north. Find her displacement in both magnitude and direction

Answers

Answer:

the girl's displacement in both magnitude and direction is 7.81 m at 50.2⁰ North west.

Explanation:

Given;

6km due west, and

5km due north

The magnitude of her displacement is calculated by forming a right angled triangle. The hypotenuse side of the triangle is the girl's displacement.

d² = 5² + 6²

d² = 25 + 36

d² = 61

d = √61

d = 7.81 m

The direction of the girl is calculated as;

[tex]tan \ \theta = \frac{6}{5} \\\\tan \ \theta = 1.2\\\\\theta = tan^{-1} (1.2)\\\\\theta = 50.2^0[/tex]

Therefore, the girl's displacement in both magnitude and direction is 7.81 m at 50.2⁰ North west.

Electric field strength of a point charge is E. What is the electric potential at a point where electric field will be E/4?

Answers

Answer:

Explanation:

We shall find first the distance where electric field is E/4 .

Let the charge be Q and distance be d where electric field is E . From the coulomb's Law

E = k Q / d²

Let distance be d₁ where field is E/4

E/4 = kQ / d₁²

Dividing the two equation

4 = d₁² / d²

d₁ = 2d

We shall have to find Potential at d₁ which is equal to 2 d .

Potential at d₁

V = k Q / 2d

= kQ d / 2d²

= E d / 2 . where d is distance of the point where field is E .

1. Compare the speed that light waves travel in air to the speed that sound waves travel in the air. How many times faster do light waves travel in air in comparison to sound waves in air?
Water-1500 meters per second
steel-5000 meters per second
Air-335 meters per second

Answers

Answer:

895522 times faster.

Explanation:

From the question given above, the following data were obtained:

Speed of sound in air (v) = 335 m/s

Speed of light in air (c) = 3×10⁸ m/s

How many times faster =.?

To obtain how many times faster light travels in air than sound, do the following

c : v => 3×10⁸ : 335

c/v = 3×10⁸ / 335

c/v = 895522

Cross multiply

c = 895522 × v

From the illustrations made above, we can see that the speed of the light in air (c) is 895522 times the speed of sound in air.

Thus, light travels 895522 times faster than sound in air.

Why is the overall charge of the atom neutral or zero?
A. The zero charge on the neutrons in the nucleus create a neutral atom.

C. Equal numbers of neutrons, protons, and electrons work together to keep the charge of the atom neutral or zero.

D. Atoms are not electrical and therefore have no charge.

Answers

Answer:

B

Explanation:

this is because the neutrons do not have a charge, the things that have charge in an atom are electrons and protons.

and in the nucleus of an atom, there are protons and neutrons so you can see that A is not the answer

if you see the periodic table, you will know that the number of electrons and protons are equal, so the charges cancel each other out, hence the charge of an atom will be neutral

let me give you a tip which I got from my teacher, never write there is no charge in the atom, this suggests that there is no protons or electrons.

instead, write, the it is neutral
