We use the exponential decay formula to solve for the percentage of atoms in a sample of Plutonium-238 will remain radioactive after 263.1 years.
We are given with a half-life of 87.7 years and so, we can get the decay constant:
k = ln 2 / 87.7
k = 0.0079
A/A0 = exp(-kt)
A/A0 = exp (-0.0079(263.1))
A/A0 = 0.125
or

Vector A⃗ has magnitude 8.00 m and is in the xy-plane at an angle of 127∘ counterclockwise from the +x–axis (37∘ past the +y-axi
WINSTONCH [101]

Answer:

293.7 degrees

Explanation:

A = - 8 sin (37) i + 8 cos (37) j

A + B = -12 j

B = a i+ b j , where and a and b are constants to be found

A + B = (a - 8 sin (37) ) i + ( 8cos(37) + b ) j

- 12 j = (a - 8 sin (37) ) i + ( 8cos(37) + b ) j

Comparing coefficients of i and j:

a = 8 sin (37) = 4.81452 m

b = -12 - 8cos(37) = -18.38908

Hence,

B = 4.81452 i  - 18.38908 j  ..... 4 th quadrant

Hence,

cos ( Q ) = 4.81452 / 12

Q = 66.346 degrees

360 - Q = 293.65 degrees from + x-axis in CCW direction

When a pendulum is pulled back from its equilibrium position by 10∘, the restoring force is 1.0 N. When it is pulled back to 30∘
jarptica [38.1K]

Answer: B

Explanation: I said B because if you pull something back what is going to be more of a force pulling back or letting it go for a rubier band yes it will have more force if you let it go

A 20kg mass approaches a spring at a speed of 30 m/s. The mass compresses the spring 12cm before coming to a stop. Calculate the
Oksana_A [137]

Answer:

625000 N/ m

Explanation:

m= 20 kg

v= 30 m/s

x= 12 cm

k = ?

Here when the mass when hits at spring its speed is

Vi= 30 m/s

Finally it comes to rest after compressing for 12 cm

i-e Vf = 0 m/s

Distance= S= 12 cm = 0.12 m

using

2aS= Vf2 - Vi2

==> 2a ×0.12 = o- 30 × 30

==> a = 900 ÷ 0.24 = 3750 m/sec2

Now we know;

F = ma

F= -Kx

==> ma= -kx

==> 20 × 3750 = -K × 0.12

==> k = 625000 N/ m
