Answer:

Half life of S = 3.76secs

Explanation:

The concept of half life in radioactivity is applied. Half life is the time taken for a radioactive material to decay to half of its initial size.

For part 1 - How much signal will be degraded in 1secs = 1/3.9 = 0.2564

for part 2 - How much signal will be degraded in 1secs = 1/104 = 0.009615

Simply say = 1/3.9 + 1/104 = 0.266015

So both part 1 and part 2 took 1/0.266015 = 3.76secs is the half life of S when both pathways are active

The human heart is a powerful and extremely reliable pump. Each day it takes in and discharges about 7500 L of blood. Assume tha
gregori [183]

The answers are:

a) Work=125,923.61J

b) Power=1.46watt

Why?

It seems that you forgot to write the questions of the problem, however, in order to help you, I will try to complete it.

The questions are:

a) How much work does the heart do in a day?

b) What is its power output in watts?

So, solving we have:

We need to convert from liter to cubic meters in order to use the given information, so:

1L=0.001m^{3}\\\\7500L*\frac{0.001m^{3} }{1L}=7.5m^{3}

Also, we need to find the mass given the density of the blood.

1050}\frac{kg}{m^{3}}*7.5m^{3}=7875kg

Now, calculating how much work does the heart do in a day, we have:

Work=Fd=mgh\\\\Work=7875kg*9.81\frac{m}{s^{2}}*1.63m=125,923.61J

Then, calculating what is the power output and its horsepower, we have:

Power=\frac{Work}{time}\\\\Power=\frac{125,923.61J}{86,400s}=1.46watt

Have a nice day!

Which of the following best describes a capacitor?
galben [10]

Answer:

B

Explanation:

The capacitor is a component which has the ability to store energy in the form of an electrical charge  making a potential difference on those two metal plates

A capacitor consists of two or more parallel conductive (metal) plates. They are electrically seperated by an insulating material (ex: air, mica,ceramic etc.) which is called as Dielectric Layer

Due to this insulating layer, DC current can not flow through the capacitor.But it allows a voltage to be present across the plates in the form of an electrical charge.

What is the internal energy (to the nearest joule) of 10 moles of Oxygen at 100 K?
kkurt [141]

Answer:

U = 12,205.5 J

Explanation:

In order to calculate the internal energy of an ideal gas, you take into account the following formula:

U=\frac{3}{2}nRT        (1)

U: internal energy

R: ideal gas constant = 8.135 J(mol.K)

n: number of moles = 10 mol

T: temperature of the gas = 100K

You replace the values of the parameters in the equation (1):

U=\frac{3}{2}(10mol)(8.135\frac{J}{mol.K})(100K)=12,205.5J

The total internal energy of 10 mol of Oxygen at 100K is 12,205.5 J

A professor's office door is 0.99 m wide, 2.2 m high, 4.2 cm thick; has a mass of 27 kg, and pivots on frictionless hinges. A "d
ANEK [815]

Answer:

I=8.8209\ kg.m^2

\alpha=0.6348\ rad.s^{-2}

Explanation:

Given:

  • width of door, w=0.99\ m
  • height of the door, h=2.2\ m
  • thickness of the door, t=4.2\ cm
  • mass of the door, m=27\ kg
  • torque on the door, \tau=5.6\ N.m

<em>∵Since the thickness of the door is very less as compared to its other dimensions, therefore we treat it as a rectangular sheet.</em>

  • For a rectangular sheet we have the mass moment of inertia inertia as:

I=\frac{1}{3} m.w^2

I=\frac{1}{3}\times 27\times 0.99^2

I=8.8209\ kg.m^2

We have a relation between mass moment of inertia, torque and angular acceleration as:

\alpha=\frac{\tau}{I}

\alpha=\frac{5.6}{8.8209}

\alpha=0.6348\ rad.s^{-2}

If the gas in a container absorbs 275 Joules of heat, has 125 Joules of work done on it, then does 50 Joules of work, what is th
cluponka [151]

Answer:

    The increase in the internal energy = 350 J

Explanation:

Given that

Q= 275  J

W= - 125 J

W' = 50 J

W(net)= -125  + 50 = -75 J

Sign -

1.Heat rejected by system - negative

2.Heat gain by system - Positive

3.Work done by system = Positive

4.Work done on the system-Negative

Lets take change in the  internal energy =ΔU

We know that

Q= ΔU + W(net)

275 = ΔU -75

ΔU= 275 + 75 J

ΔU=350 J

The increase in the internal energy = 350 J
