The radioactive isotope that would take the least amount of time to become stable is rubidium-91. This is because this isotope is the most stable compared to the rest. This was determined by subtracting its atomic mass by its atomic number. The isotope with the least number of difference is the most stable, while the one with the greatest difference is the most unstable.

Difference:
Rubidium: 54 (most stable)
Iodine: 78
Cesium: 80
Uranium: 146 (least stable)

550 J of work must be done to compress a gas to half its initial volume at constant temperature. How much work must be done to c
Over [174]

Answer:

The amount of work that must be done to compress the gas 11 times less than its initial pressure is 909.091 J

Explanation:

The given variables are

Work done = 550 J

Volume change = V₂ - V₁ = -0.5V₁

Thus the product of pressure and volume change = work done by gas, thus

P × -0.5V₁ = 500 J

Hence -PV₁ = 1000 J

also P₁/V₁ = P₂/V₂ but V₂ = 0.5V₁ Therefore  P₁/V₁ = P₂/0.5V₁ or P₁ = 2P₂

Also to compress the gas by a factor of 11 we have

P (V₂ - V₁) = P×(V₁/11 -V₁) = P(11V₁ - V₁)/11 = P×-10V₁/11 = -PV₁×10/11 = 1000 J ×10/11  = 909.091 J of work

Two climbers are on a mountain. Simon, of mass m, is sitting on a snow covered slope that makes an angle θ with the horizontal.
elena-14-01-66 [18.8K]

Answer:

Explanation:

It is required that the weight of Joe must prevent Simon from being pulled down . That means he is not slipping down but tends to be towed down . So in equilibrium , force of friction will act in upward direction on Simon.

Let in equilibrium , tension in rope be T

For balancing Joe

T = M g

For balancing Simon

friction + T = mgsinθ

μmgcosθ+T = mgsinθ

μmgcosθ+Mg = mgsinθ

M = (msinθ - μmcosθ)

M = m(sinθ - μcosθ)

The current in a long solenoid of radius 6 cm and 17 turns/cm is varied with time at a rate of 5 A/s. A circular loop of wire of
jonny [76]

Answer:

53.63 μA

Explanation:

radius of solenoid, r = 6 cm

Area of solenoid = 3.14 x 6 x 6 = 113.04 cm^2 = 0.0113 m^2

n = 17 turns / cm = 1700 /m

di / dt = 5 A/s

The magnetic field due to the solenoid is given by

B = μ0 n i

dB / dt = μ0 n di / dt

The rate of change in magnetic flux linked with the solenoid =

Area  of coil x dB/dt

= 3.14 x 8 x 8 x 10^-4 x μ0 n di / dt

= 3.14 x 64 x 10^-4 x 4 x 3.14 x 10^-7 x 1700 x 5 = 2.145 x 10^-4

The induced emf is given by the rate of change in magnetic flux linked with the coil.

e = 2.145 x 10^-4 V

i = e / R = 2.145 x 10^-4 / 4 = 5.36 x 10^-5 A = 53.63 μA

An electric power plant uses energy from burning coal to generate steam at 450∘C. The plant is cooled by 20∘C water from a nearb
Goryan [66]

Answer:

40 MJ (D)

Explanation:

Quantity of heat (Qh) = 100 MJ

temperature of steam (Th) = 450°c = 450 + 273 = 723 K

emperature of water (TI) = 20 °c = 20 + 273 = 293 k

efficiency = (Qh-Qi)/Qh = (Th-Ti)/Th

 \frac{100x10x^{6}-Qi }{100x10^{6}} = \frac{723-293}{723}

100x10^{6} - Qi= 0.5947 x 100 x 10 ^{6}

100x10^{6} - (0.5947 x 100x10^{6}) = Qi

Qi = 40.5 MJ equivalent to 40 MJ (D)
