The half-value layer for lead for g rays from 60Co is 12.8 mm. An electrometer gave a count rate of 35 pulses per second when at a
certain distance from a source, with no lead between source and detector. If 6 mm of lead were then inserted between source and
detector, the count rate (in pulses per second) would be nearest to:
A. 16
OB. 8
OC. 20
D. 25
OE. 75

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

  D.  25

Explanation:

The number of pulses per second (p) for x mm of lead can be modeled by the exponential equation ...

  p = 35(0.5^(x/12.8))

Then for x=6, the value of p is ...

  p = 35·0.5^(6/12.8) ≈ 25.29

The expected count rate would be nearest 25 pps.

Answer:

d) 14.1 m

e) 8.57 m/s

Explanation:

(a) There are three forces on the ball:

Normal force Fn pushing up,

Weight force Fg pulling down,

Kinetic friction Fk pushing left (resisting motion).

FBD is the correct free body diagram.

(b) Sum of forces in the y direction:

∑F = ma

Fn − Fg = 0

Fn = Fg

Sum of forces in the x direction:

∑F = ma

-Fk = ma

-Fn μk = ma

-mg μk = ma

a = -g μk

a = -(10 m/s²) (0.25)

a = -2.5 m/s²

(c) Sum of torques about the ball's center:

∑τ = Iα

Fk r = ⅖ mr² α

mg μk r = ⅖ mr² α

g μk = ⅖ r α

α = 5g μk / (2r)

α = 5 (10 m/s²) (0.25) / (2 × 0.2 m)

α = 31.25 rad/s²

(d) The velocity and angular velocity at time t is:

v = at + v₀

v = -2.5t + 12.0

ω = αt + ω₀

ω = 31.25t + 0

When the ball begins to roll without slipping, v = ωr.

-2.5t + 12.0 = (31.25t) (0.2)

-2.5t + 12.0 = 6.25t

12.0 = 8.75t

t = 1.37

The distance the ball moves is:

Δx = v₀ t + ½ at²

Δx = (12) (1.37) + ½ (-2.5) (1.37)²

Δx = 14.1 m

(e) v = at + v₀

v = (-2.5 m/s²) (1.37 s) + 12.0 m/s

v = 8.57 m/s

Answers

Answer:

28 m/s

Explanation:

v(final)^2=v(initial)^2+2a(delta y)

=sqrt(2*-9.8 m/s^2*-40)

28 m/s

The speed of the camera with which it hits the water is 27.93 meters per second.

What is the speed?

The speed of an object is the rate of change of position of an object in any of the directions. Speed can be measured as the ratio of distance covered by the object to the total time taken in which the distance was covered by the object. Speed is a scalar quantity because it has only magnitude and no direction.

v = gt

where, v is the velocity,

g is the acceleration due to gravity,

and t is the time taken by the object

v = (9.8 m/s²) (2.85s)

v = 27.93 m/s

Therefore, the speed of the camera as it hits the water is 27.93 meters per second.

A family is visiting the Statue of Liberty in New York City. One of the children accidentally drops her backpack from the top of the viewing platform which is 300 feet above the ground. At what height will the kinetic energy of the backpack be equal to it's potential energy?

Answers

Have you figured out this answer yet. Pls say yes

In fact the actual height at which the two energies are equal can be determined only if there is a specified velocity. So by theoretically equating the energy equation we will arrive at the point that the height equal to 4.9 V².

What is kinetic energy?

The kinetic energy of a body is the energy formed by virtue of its motion. It is directly proportional to the mass and velocity of the moving body and the equation is written as:

KE = 1/2 MV².

Potential energy is formed by virtue of the position of a body and it is equal to mgh. Where, g is gravitational acceleration equal to 9.8 m/s² and m is mass and h is the height from the ground.

The total of these two energy is called mechanical energy of a body and the total mechanical energy of a body is always conserved.

If the kinetic energy and potential energy are equal then the equations can be equated as:

1/2 mV² = mgh

 V²/2 = gh.

         =9.8 h

 h  = 4.9 V²

Therefore at a height of 4.9 V² the energies of the falling body will be equal where v is the velocity of the moving body.

(a) the coin will reach the bottom first.
(b) the feather will reach the bottom first.
(c) both objects will reach the bottom at the same instant.

• If this experiment is repeated at a place 2000 kilometers above the sea-level, the acceleration due to gravity gexp is expected to :
(a) increase. (b) decrease. (c) remain constant.

Answers

Answer:

c-) both objects will reach the bottom at the same instant.

(b) decrease.

Explanation:

Although the feather is lighter than the coin, the tube where the experiment is performed is evacuated. Therefore there is no air that prevents the feather from falling freely with the same acceleration and speed as the coin.

In fact in the equations of kinematics proposed by Newton, the mass of the bodies is not taken into account, as we can see in the following equation:

[tex]v_{f}= v_{i} +g*t[/tex]

where:

Vf = final velocity [m/s]

Vi = initial velocity [m/s]

g = gravity acceleration [m/s^2]

t = time [s]

Therefore the answer is C.

Gravitational pull is a function of height, as the height of the body increases, the force of gravity decreases.

To solve this we must be knowing each and every concept related to energy and its different types. Therefore,  the correct option is option A among all the given options.

What is energy?

In physics, energy is the capacity to accomplish work. It can be potential, kinetic, thermal, electric, chemical, radioactive, or in other forms.

There is also heat and work—energy inside the process of being transferred by one body to the other. Energy is always classified according to its type once it has been transmitted. As a result, heat transported could become thermal energy, whereas labor done may emerge as mechanical energy. Radiation is a t type of energy that transfer energy that causes a sunburn  because particles of hot air move in space.

Therefore,  the correct option is option A among all the given options.

Sea water must be desalinated by reverse osmosis. For a feed rate of 1000 lb/h sea water containing 3.1% salt (by weight) is desalinated water with only 500 ppm salt and the brine tailings containing 5.25% salt. Part of the brine tailings is recycled and the inlet stream in the reverse osmosis cell contains 4.0% salt. Determine:

a) A brine removal taxon (ṁ3);
b) The production rate of desalinated water (ṁ2);
c) The rate of brine that is recycled (ṁR).

Answers:

ṁ1 = 1720 lb / h

ṁ2 = 409.37 lb / h

ṁ3 = 590.63 lb / h

ṁR = 720 lb / h

Answers

Answer:

m₁ = 1720

m₂ = 413.46

m₃ = 586.54

mr = 720

Explanation:

Draw a diagram.  Sea water (1000 lb/h, 3.1% salt) is mixed with the recycled brine (mr, 5.25% salt) to create the inlet stream (m₁, 4.0% salt).  This inlet stream is fed into the osmosis cell.  The osmosis cell produces desalinated water (m₂, 500 ppm) and brine tailings.  Part of the tailings is recycled (mr, 5.25% salt), and the rest is removed (m₃, 5.25%).

The mass of water is conserved, so:

1000 + mr = m₁

m₁ = mr + m₂ + m₃

The mass of salt is conserved, so:

0.031 (1000) + 0.0525 mr = 0.040 m₁

0.040 m₁ = 0.0525 mr + 0.0005 m₂ + 0.0525 m₃

Four unknown variables, and four equations.  We can use the first and third to find mr and m₁.

0.031 (1000) + 0.0525 mr = 0.040 (1000 + mr)

31 + 0.0525 mr = 40 + 0.040 mr

0.0125 mr = 9

mr = 720

m₁ = 1720

Now we can use these values and the second and fourth equations to solve for the remaining variables.

1720 = 720 + m₂ + m₃

0.040 (1720) = 0.0525 (720) + 0.0005 m₂ + 0.0525 m₃

1000 = m₂ + m₃

68.8 = 37.8 + 0.0005 m₂ + 0.0525 m₃

68.8 = 37.8 + 0.0005 m₂ + 0.0525 (1000 − m₂)

68.8 = 37.8 + 0.0005 m₂ + 52.5 − 0.0525 m₂

0.052 m₂ = 21.5

m₂ = 413.46

m₃ = 586.54

A capacitor consists of two closely spaced metal conductors of large area, separated by a thin insulating foil.

Tries 0/20 Calculate the charge on this capacitor when the electrical energy stored in the capacitor is 6.53 J. Tries 0/20 If the two plates of the capacitor have their separation increased by a factor of 5 while the charge on the plates remains constant, by what factor is the energy stored in the capacitor increased?

Answers

Answer:

1 = 5.4 J

2 = 0.1979 C

3 = 5

Explanation:

Energy in a capacitor, E is

E = 1/2 * C * V²

E = 1/2 * 3000*10^-6 * 60²

E = 1/2 * 3000*10^-6 * 3600

E = 1/2 * 10.8

E = 5.4 J

E = Q²/2C = 6.53 J

E * 2C = Q²

Q² = 6.53 * 2 * 3000*10^-6

Q² = 13.06 * 3000*10^-6

Q² = 0.03918

Q = √0.03918

Q = 0.1979 C

The Capacitor, C is inversely proportional to the distance of separation, D. Thus, if D is increased by 5 to be 5D, then C would be C/5. And therefore, our energy stored in the capacitor is increased by a factor of 5.
