Consider the accompanying diagram. Ball A is allowed to fall and strike ball B. Assume that all of ball As energy is transferred to ball B at point I, and that there is no loss of energy to other sources. What is the kinetic energy and the potential energy of ball B at point II? The potential energy is given by PE = mgz, where m is the mass in kilograms, g is the gravitational constant (9.81 m/s2), and z is the distance in meters.
The second law of thermodynamics has been called the arrow of time. Explain why this is so.
Marie Curie was born in Poland but studied and carried out her research in Paris. In 1903, she shared the Nobel Prize in Physics with H. Becquerel and her husband Pierre for their discovery of radioactivity. (In 1911 she received the Nobel Prize in Chemistry for the discovery of two new chemical elements, radium and polonium, the latter named for her homeland, Poland.) They and others observed that a radioactive substance could emit three types of radiation: alpha (), beta (), and gamma (). If the radiation from a radioactive source is passed between electrically charged plates, some particles are attached to the positive plate, some to the negative plate, and others feel no attraction. Which particles are positively charged, which are negatively charged, and which have no charge? Of the two charged particles, which has the most mass? Radioactivity. Alpha (), beta I(), and gamma () rays from a radioactive element are separated by passing them between electrically charged plates.
Palladium-103 is a radioactive isotope used in prostate brachytherapy and has a half-life of 14.3 days. If 1.5 grams of palladium-103 is administered to the patient how much will remain after 28.6 days? Be sure to use correct significant figures and units in your answer.
A woman weighs 59.0 kg and is given 720. mg pills of a drug The concentration of drug inside the patient should be no less than 3.20 mg/kg. The drug's half-life is 3.00 hours. How much time should pass between doses?
A radioactive substance decays exponentially: The mass at time t is m(t) = m(0)ek", where m(0) is the initial mass and k is a negative constant. The mean life M of an atom in the substance is M = -k tekt dt. For a radioactive isotope, the value of k is -0.000149. Find the mean life (in years) of the isotope's atom. (Round your answer to one decimal place.) yr

The half-life os sodium -24 is 15 hours _________ ng sodium -24 remain check_circle Expert Answer thumb_up thumb_down Step 1 Radioactive decay is a first order reaction. Conversion of days into hours: 1 day2.5 days===24 hrs2.5×2460 hrs1 day=24 hrs2.5 days=2.5×24=60 hrs Calculation of k: k===0.693t1/20.69315 hrs0.0462 hrs−1k=0.693t1/2=0.69315 hrs=0.0462 hrs-1 Step 2 Radioactive decay is a first order reaction, therefore: [A]=[Ao] e−kt[A]=[Ao] e-kt where [A] is the final amount remained at time t, [Ao] is the initial amount. Putting values: [A]====102.0 ng×e−0.0462 hrs−1×60 hrs102.0 ng×e−2.772102.0 ng×0.062546.38 ng[A]=102.0 ng×e-0.0462 hrs-1×60 hrs=102.0 ng×e-2.772=102.0 ng×0.06254=6.38 ng Thus 6.38 ng of sodium-24 remained.
