You want to find out how many atoms of the isotope 65Cu are in a small sample of material. You bombard the sample with neutrons to ensure that on the order of 1% of these copper nuclei absorb a neutron. After activation, you turn off the neutron flux and then use a highly efficient detector to monitor the gamma radiation that comes out of the sample. Assume half of the 66Cu nuclei emit a 1.04-MeV gamma ray in their decay. (The other half of the activated nuclei decay directly to the ground state of 66Ni.) (Enter your answer using one of the following formats: 1.2e-3 for 0.0012 and 1.20e 2 for 120.)
Required:
a. If after 10 min (two half-lives) you have detected 10000 MeV of photon energy at 1.04 MeV, approximately how many 65Cu atoms are in the sample?
b. Assume the sample contains natural copper. Refer to the isotopic abundances listed in your text (Chemical and Nuclear Information for Selected Isotopes) and estimate the total mass of copper in the sample.
Answer:
a) number of copper atoms 65 (⁶⁵Cu) is 7.692 10⁶ atoms
b) m_total Cu = 1.585 10⁹ u = 2.632 10⁻¹⁸ kg
Explanation:
a) For this exercise let's start by using the radioactive decay ratio
N = N₀ [tex]e^{- \lambda t}[/tex]o e - lambda t
The half-life time is defined as the time it takes for half of the radioactive (activated) atoms to decay, therefore after two half-lives there are
N = ½ (½ N₀) = ¼ N₀
N₀ = 4 N
in each decay a photon is emitted so we can use a direct rule of proportions. If an atom emits a photon it has Eo = 1,04 Mev, how many photons it has energy E = 10,000 MeV
# _atoms = 1 atom (photon) (E / Eo)
# _atoms = 1 10000 / 1.04
# _atoms = 9615,4 atoms
N₀ = 4 #_atoms
N₀ = 4 9615,4
N₀= 38461.6 atoms
in the exercise indicates that half of the atoms decay in this way and the other half decays directly to the base state of Zinc, so the total number of activated atoms
N_activated = 2 # _atoms
N_activated = 2 38461.6
N_activated = 76923.2
also indicates that 1% = 0.01 of the nuclei is activated by neutron bombardment
N_activated = 0.01 N_total
N_total = N_activated / 0.01
N_total = 76923.2 / 100
N_total = 7.692 10⁶ atoms
so the number of copper atoms 65 (⁶⁵Cu) is 7.692 10⁶
b) the natural abundance of copper is
⁶³Cu 69.17%
⁶⁵Cu 30.83%
Let's use a direct proportion rule. If there are 7.692 10⁶ ⁶⁵Cu that represents 30.83, how much ⁶³Cu is there that represents 69.17%
# _63Cu = 69.17% (7.692 10⁶ / 30.83%)
# _63Cu = 17.258 10⁶ atom ⁶³Cu
the total amount of comatose is
#_total Cu = #_ 65Cu + # _63Cu
#_total Cu = (7.692 + 17.258) 10⁶
#_total Cu = 24.95 10⁶
the atomic mass of copper is m_Cu = 63.546 u
m_total = #_totalCu m_Cu
m_total = 24.95 10⁶ 63,546 u
m_total = 1.585 10⁹ u
let's reduce to kg
m_total Cu = 1.585 10⁹ u (1,66054 10⁻²⁷ kg / 1 u)
m_total Cu = 2.632 10⁻¹⁸ kg

Explanation:
A ball is attached to one end of a wire, the other end being fastened to the ceiling. The wire is held horizontal, and the ball is released from rest. It swings downward and strikes a block initially at rest on a horizontal frictionless surface. Air resistance is negligible, and the collision is elastic. The masses of the ball and block are, respectively, 1.48 kg and 2.77 kg, and the length of the wire is 1.11 m. Find the velocity of the ball just after the collision.
Answer: Velocity of the ball just after the collision is -1.414 m/s.
Explanation:
As energy is conserved in a reaction so here, energy before collision will be equal to the energy after collision.
[tex]E_{before} = mgh = E_{after} = \frac{1}{2}mv_{o}^{2}[/tex]
where,
m = mass
g = gravitational energy = [tex]9.8 m/s^{2}[/tex]
h = height or length
[tex]v_{o}[/tex] = initial velocity
Also here, height is the length of wire. Let the height be denoted by 'L'. Therefore,
[tex]\frac{1}{2}mv_{o}^{2} = mgL\\v_{o}^{2} = 2gL\\v_{o} = \sqrt{2gL}\\= \sqrt{2 \times 9.8 m/s^{2} \times 1.11 m}\\= 4.66 m/s[/tex]
Formula used to calculate velocity after the collision is as follows.
[tex]v_{f ball} = v_{o} [\frac{m_{ball} - m_{block}}{m_{ball} + m_{block}}][/tex]
where,
[tex]v_{f ball}[/tex] = final velocity of ball after collision
[tex]m_{ball}[/tex] = masses of ball
[tex]m_{block}[/tex] = masses of block
Substitute the values into above formula as follows.
[tex]v_{f ball} = v_{o} [\frac{m_{ball} - m_{block}}{m_{ball} + m_{block}}]\\= 4.66 m/s [\frac{1.48 kg - 2.77 kg}{1.48 kg + 2.77 kg}]\\= 4.66 m/s \times (-0.303)\\= -1.414 m/s[/tex]
Thus, we can conclude that velocity of the ball just after the collision is -1.414 m/s.

⦁ An electron is moving through a 10 T magnetic field at a speed of 3.5 x107m/s perpendicular to the direction of the field. What is the force that applied on the charge?
Answer:
F = 5.6 10⁻¹¹ N
Explanation:
The magnetic force is given by
F = q v x B
The bold indicate vectors, the scalar form of this expression is
F = q v B sin θ
in this case they indicate that the speed and the magnetic field are perpendicular, so the angle is 90º and the sin 90 = 1
F = q v B
the magnitude of the force is
F = 1.6 10⁻¹⁹ 3.5 10⁷ 10
F = 5.6 10⁻¹¹ N
If objects are traveling in opposite directions, what do you know about the signs of their momenta?
Explanation:
the impulse and momentum change on each object are equal in magnitude and opposite in directions. Thus the total momentum is reserved
They have no overall momentum at all. They are travelling in opposing directions yet having the same mass and velocity. Their momentum vectors add up to exactly zero when added together.
What If objects are travelling in opposite directions?When two objects collide, opposite-direction forces of equal magnitude are exerted to each item. When there are such pressures, it usually happens that one item speeds up and gains momentum, while the other object slows down (lose momentum).
Think about a situation where two similar objects are going in opposite directions at the same speed. It's noteworthy to note that despite both items moving, the momentum of the system as a whole is zero because the oppositely oriented vectors cancel out.
Therefore, Every object experiences an equal but opposite change in impulse and momentum. Thus, the entire momentum is held back.

Imagine you are on a space mission and you are 6 AU's from the Sun and you use a light sensor to measure the brightness of the Sun. The amount of sunlight received per square centimeter would be different by what factor compared to the same measurement on Earth at AU
Answer:
36 times less.
Explanation:
The distance from you to the sun is 6AU's, and from the sun to the earth is 1 AU.
Therefore,
At Earth sunlight received per unit cm² is:
[tex]I_{earth} = \dfrac{I_o}{4 \pi \times (1)^2}[/tex]
[tex]I_{earth} = \dfrac{I_o}{4 \pi}[/tex]
[tex]I_{me} =\dfrac{I}{4 \pi (6)^2}[/tex]
[tex]I_{me} = \dfrac{I_o}{36(4 \pi)}[/tex]
Thus, [tex]I_{earth} = 36 \times I_{me}[/tex]
Thus, the right answer is 36 times less.

A skater spins with an angular speed of 5.9 rad/s with her arms outstretched. She lowers her arms, decreasing her moment of inertia by a factor of 1.7. Ignoring friction on the skates, determine the ratio of her final kinetic energy to her initial kinetic energy.
Answer:
the ratio of her final kinetic energy to her initial kinetic energy is 1.7.
Explanation:
Given;
initial angular speed, ω₁ = 5.9 rad/s
let her initial moment of inertia = I₁
her final moment of inertia [tex]I_2 = \frac{I_1}{1.7}[/tex]
Apply the principle of conservation of angular momentum to determine the final angular speed of the girl;
[tex]\omega_1I_1 = \omega_f I_2\\\\\omega_f = \frac{\omega _1 I_1}{I_2} \\\\\omega_f = \frac{5.9 \times I_1}{I_1/1.7} \\\\\omega = 5.9 \times 1.7 \\\\\omega_f = 10.03 \ rad/s[/tex]
The initial rotational kinetic energy is given as;
[tex]K.E_I = \frac{1}{2}I_1 \omega_I ^2[/tex]
The final rotational kinetic energy is given as;
[tex]K.E_f = \frac{1}{2}I_2 \omega_f ^2[/tex]
The ratio of her final kinetic energy to her initial kinetic energy is given as;
[tex]\frac{K.E_f}{K.E_I}= \frac{\frac{1}{2}I_2 \omega_f^2 }{\frac{1}{2} I_1\omega _1^2} \\\\\frac{K.E_f}{K.E_I}= \frac{I_2 \omega_f^2}{ I_1\omega _1^2} \\\\\frac{K.E_f}{K.E_I}= \frac{I_1/1.7 \times \omega_f^2}{ I_1 \times \omega _1^2} \\\\\frac{K.E_f}{K.E_I}= \frac{ \omega_f^2}{ 1.7 \omega _1^2} \\\\\frac{K.E_f}{K.E_I}= \frac{ (10.03)^2}{ 1.7(5.9)^2} = \frac{17}{10} = 1.7[/tex]
Therefore, the ratio of her final kinetic energy to her initial kinetic energy is 1.7.
A wheel rotating about a fixed axis with a constant angular acceleration of 2.0 rad/s2 starts from rest at t = 0. The wheel has a diameter of 20 cm. What is the magnitude of the total linear acceleration of a point on the outer edge of the wheel at t = 0.60 s? Hint: To find total linear acceleration (in m/s2)you need to have tangential and radial acceleration . Tangential acceleration can be calculated using angular acceleration at=rα To find redial acceleration you need to calculate final linear speed of that point and use ar=vf2r . And vf=rωf.
Answer:
The total linear acceleration is approximately 0.246 meters per square second.
Explanation:
The total linear acceleration ([tex]a[/tex]) consist in two components, radial ([tex]a_{r}[/tex]) and tangential ([tex]a_{t}[/tex]), in meters per square second:
[tex]a_{r} = \omega^{2}\cdot r[/tex] (1)
[tex]a_{t} = \alpha \cdot r[/tex] (2)
Since both components are orthogonal to each other, the total linear acceleration is determined by Pythagorean Theorem:
[tex]a = \sqrt{a_{r}^{2}+a_{t}^{2}}[/tex] (3)
Where:
[tex]r[/tex] - Radius of the wheel, in meters.
[tex]\omega[/tex] - Angular speed, in radians per second.
[tex]\alpha[/tex] - Angular acceleration, in radians per square second.
Given that wheel accelerates uniformly, we use the following kinematic equation:
[tex]\omega = \omega_{o}+ \alpha\cdot t[/tex] (4)
Where:
[tex]\omega_{o}[/tex] - Initial angular speed, in radians per second.
[tex]t[/tex] - Time, in seconds.
If we know that [tex]r = 0.1\,m[/tex], [tex]\alpha = 2\,\frac{rad}{s^{2}}[/tex], [tex]\omega_{o} = 0\,\frac{rad}{s}[/tex] and [tex]t = 0.60\,s[/tex], then the total linear acceleration is:
[tex]\omega = \omega_{o}+ \alpha\cdot t[/tex]
[tex]\omega = 1.2\,\frac{rad}{s}[/tex]
[tex]a_{r} = \omega^{2}\cdot r[/tex]
[tex]a_{r} = 0.144\,\frac{m}{s^{2}}[/tex]
[tex]a_{t} = \alpha \cdot r[/tex]
[tex]a_{t} = 0.2\,\frac{m}{s^{2}}[/tex]
[tex]a = \sqrt{a_{r}^{2}+a_{t}^{2}}[/tex]
[tex]a \approx 0.246\,\frac{m}{s^{2}}[/tex]
The total linear acceleration is approximately 0.246 meters per square second.

10 POINTS!! SPACE QUESTION!!
Answer: A (first option)
Explanation: In general, the surface temperatures decreases with increasing distance from the sun. Any warm object in space loses heat via infrared radiation; also visible radiation if it is hot enough. The hotter is the object, the faster it loses heat. Consequently any object warmed by the Sun stays at equilibrium temperature - it warms up until the radiative heat loss equals to the heat received, and cannot get any warmer beyond that.

Consider a block of mass m at rest on an inclined plane of angle theta. An acrobat of mass m_A is standing on the top corner of the block so that their weight presses vertically (perpendicular to the flat ground under the incline) downward. If the coefficient of static friction between the block and the incline is mu_s find an expression relating m_A, m, theta, and mu_s just before the block begins slipping. If the condition for slipping does not involve some of these parameters, leave them out.
Enter your expression as best you can and I will check it. Do not forget to upload your work as well.
Answer:
μ = tan θ
Explanation:
For this exercise let's use the translational equilibrium condition.
Let's set a datum with the x axis parallel to the plane and the y axis perpendicular to the plane.
Let's break down the weight of the block
sin θ = Wₓ / W
cos θ = W_y / W
Wₓ = W sin θ
W_y = W cos θ
The acrobat is vertically so his weight decomposition is
sin θ = = wₐₓ / wₐ
cos θ = wₐ_y / wₐ
wₐₓ = wₐ sin θ
wₐ_y = wₐ cos θ
let's write the equilibrium equations
Y axis
N- W_y - wₐ_y = 0
N = W cos θ + wₐ cos θ
X axis
Wₓ + wₐ_x - fr = 0
fr = W sin θ + wₐ sin θ
the friction force has the formula
fr = μ N
fr = μ (W cos θ + wₐ cos θ)
we substitute
μ (Mg cos θ + mg cos θ) = Mgsin θ + mg sin θ
μ = [tex]\frac{(M +m) \ sin \ \theta }{(M +m) \ cos \ \theta }[/tex]
μ = tan θ
this is the minimum value of the coefficient of static friction for which the system is in equilibrium.

In a physics lab experiment for the determination of moment of inertia, a team weighs an object and finds a mass of 4.07 kg. They then hang the object on a pivot located 0.155 m from the object's center of mass and set it swinging at a small amplitude. As two of the team members carefully count 113 cycles of oscillation, the third member measures a duration of 247 s. What is the moment of inertia of the object with respect to its center of mass about an axis parallel to the pivot axis
Answer:
I = 0.65 kgm²
Explanation:
Since the mass is an inertial pendulum, we use the formula for the period, T of an inertial pendulum.
T = 2π√(I/mgh) where I = moment of inertia of object about pivot point, m = mass of object5 = 4.07 kg, g = acceleration due to gravity = 9.8 m/s² and h = distance of center of mass of object from pivot point = 0.155 m.
Given that the team measures 113 cycles of oscillation in 247 s, the period, T = time of oscillations/total number of oscillations = 247 s/113 oscillations = 2.186 s/oscillation
So, T = 2.186 s
We now find I by making it subject of the formula in the equation for T.
So,
T = 2π√(I/mgh)
dividing both sides by 2π, we have
T/2π = √(I/mgh)
squaring both sides, we have
(T/2π)² = [√(I/mgh)]²
T²/4π² = I/mgh
multiplying both sides by mgh, we have
T²mgh/4π² = I
I = T²mgh/4π²
substituting the values of the variables into the equation, we have
I = T²mgh/4π²
I = (2.186 s)² × 4.07 kg × 9.8 m/s² × 0.155 m/4π²
I = 4.778 s² × 4.07 kg × 9.8 m/s² × 0.155 m/4π²
I = 29.539 kgm²/4π²
I = 0.748 kgm²
Now I = I' + mh² (parallel axis theorem) where I' = moment of inertia of object about its center of mass, m = mass of object = 4.07 kg and h = distance of center of mass object from pivot point.
So, I' = I - mh²
Substituting the values of the variables into the equation, we have
I' = I - mh²
I' = 0.748 kgm² - 4.07 kg × (0.155 m)²
I' = 0.748 kgm² - 4.07 kg × 0.02403 m²
I' = 0.748 kgm² - 0.098 kgm²
I = 0.65 kgm²

Increasing the telescope diameter beyond the value found in part (a) will increase the light-gathering power of the telescope, allowing more distant and dimmer astronomical objects to be studied, but it will not improve the resolution. In what ways are the Keck telescopes (each of 10-m diameter) atop Mauna Kea in Hawaii superior to the Hale Telescope (5-m diameter) on Palomar Mountain in California
Answer:
Ability of the Keck telescope to capture more distant object despite been atop Mauna kea that Hale Telescope may not capture even if it is atop Palomar mountain in California
Explanation:
If increasing the Diameter of a Telescope beyond a given value will increase the ability of the telescope to capture more light and also capture astronomical objects located in a very distant position without improving resolution.
Hence the superiority of Keck telescope atop Mauna Kea over Hale Telescope atop Palomar mountain in California is the ability of the Keck telescope to capture more distant object despite been atop Mauna kea that Hale Telescope may not capture even if it is atop Palomar mountain in California
