What is the number N0 of 99mTc atoms that must be present to have an activity of 15mCi?

1 answer:

4 0

Base on my research, within 2 hours you have a number of atoms which remain.
N= N0*2^(-t/6.020 = N= N0*2^-0.33223= 07943 N0

So, the number of atoms that are being disintegrated is N0-N=N0*(1-0.79430)=0.2057 N0

It must be equal to 15 mCi = 15*3.7*10^7= 5.55*10^8 atoms

N0= 5.55*10*8/0.2057 = 2.698*10^9 atoms

Therefore, 2.698*10^9 atoms is the number of N0

As we know that

$\frac{1}{d_i} + \frac{1}{d_0} = \frac{1}{f}$

here we know that

$d_0 = 6 cm$

$f = 10 cm$

now from above equation we have

$\frac{1}{d_i} + \frac{1}{6} = \frac{1}{10}$

$d_i = -15 cm$

so image will form on left side of lens at a distance of 15 cm

Bjorn is holding a tennis ball outside a second floor window (3.5 meters from the ground) and billie jean is holding one outside

MArishka [77]

The answer is 1.01 x 10^(-11) N. I arrived to this answer through calculating the GPEs of both balls. Bjorn's ball has a GPE of 1.402 x 10^(-11) N. Billie Jean's ball has a GPE of <span>2.503 x 10^(-11) N. I subtracted the two and I found that Billie Jean's tennis ball has a GPE of 1.01 x 10^(-11) more than Bjorn's tennis ball.</span>

north is 700+400+100 =1200m n

south=1200m

1200-1200=0

east is 300+300=600m

west is 600m
