Antwoorddetails
Electrical appliances in homes are normally earthed so that a person touching the appliances is safe from electric shock. Earthing provides a safety mechanism by connecting the metal case of an electrical appliance to the earth through a conductor. In the event of a fault in the appliance, such as a short circuit, the current will flow through the earth wire instead of the person's body, preventing electric shock. By connecting the metal case of an appliance to the earth, the potential difference (PD) between the appliance and the earth is reduced to zero, ensuring that the appliance is maintained at a lower PD than the earth. Therefore, "the appliances are maintained at a lower pd than the earth" is the correct answer.

A solid weighs 45N and 15N respectively in air and water. Determine the relative density of the solid
Antwoorddetails
The relative density of a substance is defined as the ratio of its density to the density of a reference substance, usually water at 4 degrees Celsius. In this problem, we can use the principle of buoyancy to determine the density of the solid. When an object is submerged in a fluid, it experiences an upward force called the buoyant force, which is equal to the weight of the fluid displaced by the object. If the object is less dense than the fluid, it will float, and if it is more dense, it will sink. We are given that the solid weighs 15 N in water, which means it displaces 15 N of water. The weight of the water displaced is equal to the buoyant force on the solid, which is equal to the weight of the solid when it is completely submerged in water. Therefore, the weight of the solid when it is completely submerged in water is 15 N. We are also given that the weight of the solid in air is 45 N. The difference between the weight of the solid in air and water is equal to the weight of the water displaced, which is 30 N. This means that the volume of water displaced by the solid is 30/9.8 = 3.06 L (since the density of water is 1000 kg/m^3 or 9.8 N/L). The relative density of the solid is equal to its density divided by the density of water. We can find the density of the solid by dividing its weight in air by its volume: Density of solid = Weight of solid in air / Volume of solid Density of solid = 45 N / (45 N - 15 N) [since weight of displaced water is 15N] Density of solid = 45 N / 30 N Density of solid = 1.5 N/L Therefore, the relative density of the solid is: Relative density = Density of solid / Density of water Relative density = 1.5 N/L / 1000 N/L Relative density = 0.0015 So the answer is 0.33 (rounded to two decimal places).

The energy needed to move a unit positive charge around a complete electric circuit is called the
Antwoorddetails
The energy needed to move a unit positive charge around a complete electric circuit is called the "electromotive force", also known as "emf". This is because the emf is what drives the flow of electric charge, or current, around the circuit. Think of it like a battery in a flashlight. The battery provides the emf that drives the flow of electric current through the wires and the light bulb. Without the emf from the battery, the electric charges wouldn't be able to flow and the light wouldn't turn on. The other answer options, such as electric potential difference and electric energy, are related to the emf but don't specifically refer to the energy needed to move a unit positive charge around a circuit. Kinetic energy, on the other hand, is not related to the movement of electric charges around a circuit at all.

The process by which protons are converted into helium atoms with a tremendous release of energy is called?
Antwoorddetails
The process by which protons are converted into helium atoms with a tremendous release of energy is called "thermonuclear fusion". In this process, two light atomic nuclei combine to form a heavier nucleus, releasing a huge amount of energy in the form of light and heat. This is the same process that powers the sun and other stars. The high temperatures and pressures required for fusion to occur can only be achieved in stars or in controlled environments such as fusion reactors. Thermonuclear fusion is different from nuclear fission, which is the process of splitting a heavy nucleus into lighter nuclei with the release of energy. Thermionic emission and photoelectric emission are different processes that involve the emission of electrons from a material due to heating or exposure to light, respectively.

Antwoorddetails
A vernier caliper is a measuring device used to precisely measure linear dimensions. It is a very useful tool to use when measuring the diameter of a round objects like cylinders because the measuring jaws can be secured on either side of the circumference.
Vernier calipers have both a fixed main scale and a moving vernier scale. The main scale is graduated in either millimetres or tenths of an inch. The vernier scale allows much more precise readings to be taken (usually to the nearest 0.02mm or 0.001 inch) in comparison to a standard ruler (which only measures to th nearest 1mm or 0.25 inch).
The vernier scale was invented by French mathematician Pierre Vernier in 1631. As part of the vernier caliper, it is used together with the main scale, and helps to provide very precise measurements. Vernier calipers usually show either imperial or metric measurements, but some measure in both.

The amount of heat needed to raise the temperature of 10kg of Copper by 1K is its
Antwoorddetails
The correct answer is "specific heat capacity." Specific heat capacity is a measure of how much heat energy is required to raise the temperature of a certain amount of a substance by 1 degree Celsius (or 1 Kelvin, which is the same size as 1 degree Celsius). In this case, we are dealing with 10kg of copper, so we need to know the specific heat capacity of copper. The specific heat capacity of copper is 0.385 J/g°C (joules per gram per degree Celsius). To calculate the amount of heat needed to raise the temperature of 10kg of copper by 1K, we need to know the total mass of copper (10kg) and the specific heat capacity of copper (0.385 J/g°C). The formula for calculating the amount of heat energy required is: Heat energy = mass x specific heat capacity x change in temperature Since we want to raise the temperature by 1K, the change in temperature is 1K. So, the amount of heat energy required to raise the temperature of 10kg of copper by 1K is: Heat energy = 10kg x 0.385 J/g°C x 1K = 3.85 kJ Therefore, it takes 3.85 kilojoules (kJ) of heat energy to raise the temperature of 10kg of copper by 1K.

An electric heating coil rated at 1KW is used to heat 2kg of water for 2 minutes. The initial water temperature is 30o C. Taking the specific heat of the water as 4,000Jkg −1 and neglecting that of the container, the final water temperature is
Antwoorddetails
To determine the final temperature of the water, we can use the formula: Q = mcΔT where Q is the heat transferred, m is the mass of the water, c is the specific heat capacity of water, and ΔT is the change in temperature. We know that the power of the electric heating coil is 1KW, which means it transfers 1000 Joules of energy per second. In 2 minutes, or 120 seconds, it transfers 120,000 Joules of energy to the water. The mass of the water is given as 2kg and the specific heat capacity of water is 4000 J/kg°C. We can assume that the initial temperature of the water is 30°C. Using the formula, we can solve for the change in temperature: 120,000 J = (2 kg)(4000 J/kg°C)(ΔT) ΔT = 15°C Therefore, the final temperature of the water is 30°C + 15°C = 45°C. So, the final water temperature is 45.0oC.
Vraag 11 Verslag
What type of reaction is represented by the following scheme?
21X + 21Y -----> 32Z + 01n + energy
Antwoorddetails
The type of reaction represented by the given scheme is a nuclear fission reaction. Nuclear fission is a process where a heavy nucleus is split into smaller nuclei with the release of energy. In the given scheme, a heavy element X is split into two lighter elements, Y and Z, along with the release of energy and some neutrons (n). In a nuclear fission reaction, a neutron is usually absorbed by the nucleus of the heavy element, which then becomes unstable and splits into two smaller nuclei and some neutrons. These neutrons can then go on to split other heavy nuclei, resulting in a chain reaction. In the given scheme, the release of energy and the presence of neutrons suggest that it is a fission reaction. Moreover, the scheme depicts the process of splitting a heavy element into two lighter elements, which is a characteristic of a fission reaction. Therefore, the type of reaction represented by the given scheme is a nuclear fission reaction.

A lens of focal length 15cm forms on erect image which is three times the size of the object. The distance between the object and the image is ___.
Antwoorddetails
We can use the lens formula, 1/f = 1/v - 1/u, where f is the focal length of the lens, v is the distance between the lens and the image, and u is the distance between the lens and the object. From the problem, we know that the focal length of the lens is 15 cm, and the image is erect and three times the size of the object. This means that the image distance v is positive and the object distance u is negative (since the object is in front of the lens). Let's assume that the object distance u is -x cm, where x is a positive number. Then, the image distance v is +3x cm, since the image is three times the size of the object. Substituting these values into the lens formula, we get: 1/15 = 1/(+3x) - 1/(-x) Simplifying the right-hand side, we get: 1/15 = (1 + 3)/3x Multiplying both sides by 3x, we get: 3x/15 = 4 Simplifying, we get: x = 20 Therefore, the distance between the object and the lens is -20 cm (since it is in front of the lens), and the distance between the image and the lens is +60 cm (since it is behind the lens). The distance between the object and the image is the sum of these distances, which is: (-20) + (+60) = 40 cm Therefore, the answer is 40cm.

Antwoorddetails
Different musical instruments playing the same note can be distinguished from one another due to the difference in their "timbre" or "tone color." Timbre refers to the unique character or quality of a sound that allows us to distinguish it from other sounds even when they have the same pitch and loudness. For example, a piano and a guitar playing the same note will sound different due to the differences in their timbre. This is why we can tell the difference between different instruments and why some instruments are better suited to certain styles of music than others.

The density of 400cm3 of palm oil was 0.9gcm-3 before frying. If the density of the oil was 0.6gcm-3 after frying, assuming no loss of oil due to spilling, its new volume was?
Antwoorddetails
The density of a substance is defined as its mass per unit volume. Therefore, the mass of the palm oil before frying was: Mass = Density x Volume = 0.9 g/cm³ x 400 cm³ = 360 g After frying, the mass of the palm oil remains the same, but its density changes to 0.6 g/cm³. Therefore, the new volume of the palm oil can be calculated by rearranging the density formula: Volume = Mass / Density = 360 g / 0.6 g/cm³ = 600 cm³ So the new volume of the palm oil after frying is 600 cm³. is the correct answer.
Vraag 15 Verslag
What flows to the earth by connecting the conductor to the earth?
Antwoorddetails
When a conductor is connected to the earth, electrons flow to the earth. Electrons are negatively charged particles that are present in all conductors. When a conductor is connected to the earth, it creates a path for electrons to flow from the conductor to the earth, which helps to balance the electric potential and prevent the buildup of electric charge. This flow of electrons is known as grounding and is an important safety measure in electrical systems.
Vraag 16 Verslag
The tendency of a body to remain at rest when a force is applied to it is called.
Antwoorddetails
The tendency of a body to remain at rest or to continue moving with a constant velocity (in a straight line at a constant speed) when no force is acting on it is called inertia. Inertia is a property of matter, and the amount of inertia depends on the mass of an object. Inertia can also be thought of as a resistance to changes in motion, meaning that an object at rest will tend to stay at rest, and an object in motion will tend to stay in motion unless acted upon by an external force. This property of inertia is what makes it difficult to start, stop, or change the direction of motion of an object. The force required to overcome the inertia of an object depends on the mass of the object and the magnitude of the acceleration desired. Therefore, the greater the mass of an object, the greater its inertia, and the more force required to change its motion.

A car traveled at a uniform speed of 100km/h, spends 15m moving from point A to point B along its route. The distance between A and B is
Antwoorddetails
To calculate the distance between point A and point B, we can use the formula: Distance = Speed x Time where the speed is given as 100 km/h and the time is given as 15 minutes, which we need to convert to hours. 1 hour = 60 minutes, so 15 minutes = 15/60 hours = 0.25 hours. Now, we can substitute these values into the formula: Distance = 100 km/h x 0.25 h = 25 km Therefore, the distance between point A and point B is 25 km. is the correct answer.

Vraag 19 Verslag
A force of 5N acts at a point Y on a rod XYZ as shown in this diagram. If XYZ is 2m, what is the moment of the force about point X?
Antwoorddetails
To find the moment of the force about point X, we need to first understand what moment is. Moment is the turning effect of a force around a pivot point. It is calculated by multiplying the force by the perpendicular distance between the pivot point and the line of action of the force. In this case, the force of 5N is acting on the rod at point Y. To find the moment of this force about point X, we need to find the perpendicular distance between point X and the line of action of the force. From the diagram, we can see that the perpendicular distance between point X and the line of action of the force is 2m (the length of the rod). So, the moment of the force about point X is: Moment = force x perpendicular distance = 5N x 2m = 10Nm Therefore, the correct answer is: 10Nm.

Which of the following does NOT describe the Image formed by a plane minor?
Antwoorddetails
The option that does NOT describe the image formed by a plane mirror is "Magnified". When an object is placed in front of a plane mirror, the image formed is: 1. Erect: The orientation of the object in the mirror is the same as the orientation of the object in real life. For example, if you raise your right hand in front of a plane mirror, the image in the mirror will also show your right hand raised. 2. Laterally inverted: The image formed in the mirror is flipped horizontally, which means that the left side of the object appears on the right side of the image and vice versa. For example, if you wear a shirt with the letter "H" on it and look at it in a plane mirror, the image will show the letter "H" flipped horizontally. 3. Same distance from the mirror as object: The image formed in the mirror is located behind the mirror at the same distance as the object is located in front of the mirror. For example, if you stand 1 meter away from a plane mirror, the image of yourself will also be located 1 meter away from the mirror, behind the mirror. 4. NOT magnified: The image formed in the plane mirror is of the same size as the object, which means that there is no magnification or reduction in the size of the image. For example, if you stand in front of a plane mirror with a height of 1 meter, the image of yourself in the mirror will also have a height of 1 meter. Therefore, the correct answer is "Magnified", as the image formed by a plane mirror is not magnified.

The process whereby a liquid turns spontaneously into vapour is called
Antwoorddetails
The process whereby a liquid turns spontaneously into vapor is called evaporation. Evaporation is the process by which a liquid changes into a gas at a temperature below its boiling point. This happens when the molecules of the liquid gain enough energy to escape from the surface of the liquid into the air as a gas. The rate of evaporation depends on factors such as the temperature, the humidity of the air, and the surface area of the liquid. For example, a shallow pool of water will evaporate faster than a deep one because it has a larger surface area. Boiling, on the other hand, is the process by which a liquid changes into a gas at its boiling point. This happens when the pressure of the gas generated by the boiling liquid is equal to the atmospheric pressure. The temperature remains constant during boiling. Regelation and sublimation are different processes altogether. Regelation is the process by which a solid changes into a liquid when it is subjected to pressure. Sublimation is the process by which a solid changes directly into a gas, bypassing the liquid state.

Antwoorddetails
The pitch of an acoustic device refers to the perceived highness or lowness of a sound, and is determined by the frequency of the sound wave. To increase the pitch of an acoustic device, you need to increase the frequency of the sound wave. This can be done by increasing the number of vibrations per second that the device produces. So, the correct answer is to "increase the frequency".

Shadows and eclipses result from the
Antwoorddetails
The rectilinear propagation of light means that light travels in straight lines as a wave. This can be observed in the well-defined shadows formed when an object blocks a light source and through the use of a pinhole camera.
According to Sudipa Sarkar, the formation of shadows with sharp edges demonstrates the rectilinear propagation of light, i.e. The fact that light travels in straight line. When an opaque obstacle is placed between a source of light and a screen, a shadow of the obstacle is formed on the screen. The kind of shadow depends on the size of the source of light. If it is a point source (light from a small hole), the shadow obtained is a region of total darkness, called umbra.
If an extended source of light, e.g. a bulb, is used, the umbra is surrounded by a region of partial darkness, called penumbra. The moon is seen because it reflects the sun's light. An eclipse of the moon (lunar eclipse) occurs when the earth comes between the sun and the moon and prevents some of the light from the sun from reaching the moon. In other words, the earth casts its shadow on the moon. The solar eclipse occurs when the moon comes between the sun and the earth.

The linear expansivity of brass is 2 x 10?5
C?1
. If the volume of a piece of brass is 15.00cm at 0°C, what is the volume at 100°C
Antwoorddetails
The linear expansivity of brass is given as 2 x 10^-5 /°C. This means that for every 1°C increase in temperature, the brass expands by 2 x 10^-5 of its original size. To find the new volume of the brass at 100°C, we need to take into account the expansion in all three dimensions (length, width, and height). Since the expansivity given is for length only, we need to find the expansivity in all three dimensions by multiplying it by 3. The expansivity in all three dimensions is: 3 x (2 x 10^-5 /°C) = 6 x 10^-5 /°C To find the new volume, we can use the formula: Vf = Vi (1 + αΔT) where Vf is the final volume, Vi is the initial volume, α is the expansivity in all three dimensions, and ΔT is the change in temperature. Plugging in the values, we get: Vf = 15.00 cm3 (1 + (6 x 10^-5 /°C) x (100°C - 0°C)) Vf = 15.09 cm3 Therefore, the volume of the brass at 100°C is 15.09 cm3.
Vraag 26 Verslag
A ball of mass 800g moving horizontally with a speed of 5m/s hits a vertical wall and rebounds with the same speed. The impulse experienced by the ball is?
Antwoorddetails
The impulse experienced by the ball can be calculated using the principle of conservation of momentum, which states that the total momentum before the collision is equal to the total momentum after the collision. In this case, the momentum of the ball before the collision is: p1 = m * v1 where m is the mass of the ball and v1 is its velocity before the collision. Substituting the values given in the problem, we get: p1 = 0.8 kg * 5 m/s = 4 kg m/s After the collision, the ball rebounds with the same speed but in the opposite direction, so its velocity after the collision is: v2 = -5 m/s The momentum of the ball after the collision is: p2 = m * v2 Substituting the values, we get: p2 = 0.8 kg * (-5 m/s) = -4 kg m/s The negative sign indicates that the direction of the momentum is opposite to that before the collision. The change in momentum of the ball is given by: Δp = p2 - p1 Substituting the values, we get: Δp = (-4 kg m/s) - (4 kg m/s) = -8 kg m/s The negative sign indicates that the impulse experienced by the ball is in the opposite direction to its initial momentum, which is the direction of the wall. Therefore, the impulse experienced by the ball is 8 kg m/s. Therefore, the correct option is: 8kgm/s.

The electrochemical equivalent of silver is 0.0012g/C. If 36.0g of silver is to be deposited by electrolysis on a surface by passing a steady current for 5mins, the current must be?
Antwoorddetails
The electrochemical equivalent of silver is a measure of the amount of silver that is deposited on a surface per unit of charge. In this case, the electrochemical equivalent of silver is 0.0012 grams per Coulomb of charge. To deposit 36.0 grams of silver by electrolysis, we need to know the amount of charge that must be passed through the solution. The amount of charge is given by: Q = m/z where m is the mass of silver to be deposited, 0.0012 is the electrochemical equivalent of silver, and z is the charge on one mole of electrons (z = 1 for a single electron). So, the amount of charge required is: Q = 36.0 g / 0.0012 g/C = 30000 C The current, I, is given by: I = Q / t where t is the time for which the current is flowing. In this case, t = 5 minutes. So, the current required is: I = 30000 C / (5 x 60 s) = 100 A Therefore, the current must be 100 Amperes.
Vraag 28 Verslag
The product of force and time is?
Antwoorddetails
The product of force and time is known as impulse. Impulse can be defined as the change in momentum that an object experiences as a result of a force being applied to it over a period of time. In simpler terms, impulse is the "push" that an object receives from a force acting on it for a certain amount of time. The more force applied, or the longer the time the force is applied, the greater the impulse and the greater the change in momentum of the object. It's important to note that impulse is a vector quantity, meaning it has both magnitude and direction. Impulse is a measure of the ability of a force to cause an object to change its velocity, and can be used to explain many phenomena in physics, such as why a heavy object is harder to stop than a lighter one, or why a soccer ball changes direction when it is kicked.

One of the features of the fission process is that
Antwoorddetails
The fission process refers to the splitting of an atomic nucleus into two or more smaller nuclei. One of the key features of the fission process is that it can lead to a chain reaction, where the neutrons released during fission can go on to trigger additional fission reactions. This chain reaction can produce a large amount of energy, as is the case in nuclear power plants and nuclear weapons. Another feature of the fission process is that it typically produces radioactive products. These products can remain radioactive for a long time, which is why there are concerns about the safe disposal of nuclear waste. Additionally, the fission process typically releases neutrons, which can go on to cause further fission reactions. This neutron release is an important aspect of the chain reaction mentioned earlier. Finally, the fission process is accompanied by a small loss of mass, which is converted into energy according to Einstein's famous equation E=mc². This loss of mass is what allows the large amount of energy to be released during a fission reaction.

A narrow beam of white light can be split up into different colours by a glass prism. The correct explanation is that
Antwoorddetails
The correct explanation for why a narrow beam of white light can be split up into different colors by a glass prism is that different colors of white light travel with different speeds in glass. White light is made up of different colors with different wavelengths, ranging from violet to red. When a narrow beam of white light passes through a glass prism, the different colors refract at slightly different angles due to the fact that their wavelengths are different. This causes the different colors to spread out and form a spectrum. The amount of refraction that occurs depends on the speed of light in the medium. Different colors of light have different speeds in glass due to the fact that their wavelengths are different. This means that they will refract at different angles as they pass through the glass prism, causing them to spread out. So, the correct explanation for why a narrow beam of white light can be split up into different colors by a glass prism is that different colors of white light travel with different speeds in glass. Therefore, is the correct explanation. is incorrect because it describes what white light is made up of, but does not explain how it is split up into colors by a prism. is incorrect because a prism does not have all the colors of white light, but rather it separates the colors that are already present in white light. is incorrect because total internal reflection occurs when light is completely reflected back into the same medium, which is not what happens when white light is split up by a prism.

A man walks 1km due east and then 1 km due north. His displacement is
Antwoorddetails
The man first walks 1 km due east, which means he has moved 1 km horizontally to the right of his starting point. Then, he walks 1 km due north, which means he has moved 1 km vertically upwards from his previous position. To find his displacement, we need to draw a straight line from his starting point to his final position, which represents the shortest distance between the two points. This line is called the displacement vector. We can use the Pythagorean theorem to calculate the length of the displacement vector. The horizontal and vertical distances are the two legs of a right-angled triangle, and the hypotenuse is the length of the displacement vector. Using the Pythagorean theorem, we get: displacement = √((1 km)^2 + (1 km)^2) = √2 km The direction of the displacement vector is the angle between the displacement vector and the due north direction. We can find this angle using trigonometry. The tangent of the angle is the ratio of the horizontal distance to the vertical distance: tan(θ) = (1 km) / (1 km) = 1 Using a calculator, we can find that the angle is 45°. Therefore, the man's displacement is √2 km in the direction N 45° E. So, the correct answer is √2km N 45°E.

A man hears his echo from a nearby hill 2s after he shouted. If the frequency of his voice is 260Hz and the wavelength is 1.29m, how far away is the hill
Antwoorddetails
The speed of sound in air is approximately 343 meters per second at room temperature. The formula for the speed of sound is:
Speed of sound = Frequency × Wavelength
In this problem, we are given the frequency (260 Hz) and the wavelength (1.29 m) of the sound wave. We can use these values to calculate the speed of sound:
Speed of sound = 260 Hz × 1.29 m = 335.4 m/s
Next, we need to use the fact that the man hears his echo 2 seconds after he shouted. Since the sound wave traveled from the man to the hill and then back to the man, the total distance traveled by the sound wave is twice the distance from the man to the hill. We can use the formula:
Distance = Speed × Time
to calculate the distance from the man to the hill:
Distance = (335.4 m/s) × (2 s/2) = 335.4 m
Therefore, the hill is 335.4 meters away from the man. The answer is option (B), 335.4m.

Which of the following is an essential physical property of the wires uses for making fuses ?
Antwoorddetails
The essential physical property of the wire used for making fuses is low melting point. This means that the wire should have a low temperature at which it melts and breaks, interrupting the flow of electrical current. This is important in a fuse because when there is an overload of electrical current, the wire will melt, breaking the circuit and preventing damage to the electrical system. The other options, low density, low electrical resistivity, and hypothermal conductivity, are not as important for a fuse wire. Low density is the property of a material to be light, and it doesn't necessarily affect the performance of a fuse wire. Low electrical resistivity is the property of a material to have low resistance to the flow of electrical current, and it doesn't necessarily affect the performance of a fuse wire either. Hypothermal conductivity is the property of a material to conduct heat poorly, and it also doesn't necessarily affect the performance of a fuse wire.

Antwoorddetails
The main way that the occupants of a room standing away from a charcoal fire are warmed is by radiation. Radiation is the transfer of heat energy through electromagnetic waves, and it can travel through empty space. In this scenario, the charcoal fire emits radiation in the form of infrared waves, which travel through the air and warm up the objects (including the occupants) in the room. Convection, on the other hand, is the transfer of heat through the movement of fluids (such as air), but in this case, the air in the room is not being actively circulated by a fan or other mechanism. Conduction involves the transfer of heat through direct contact between two objects, but the occupants are not in direct contact with the fire. Reflection refers to the bouncing of radiation off a surface, but it is not a significant factor in this scenario as most of the radiation is absorbed by the objects in the room.

If the fraction of the atoms of a radioactive material left after 120years is 164 , what is the half-life of the material? 164
Antwoorddetails
The half-life of a radioactive material is the time it takes for half of the atoms in a sample to decay. The fraction of atoms left after a certain number of half-lives can be calculated using the formula: fraction left = (1/2)^(number of half-lives) Let's use this formula to solve the problem. We know that the fraction of atoms left after 120 years is 1/64, which means that: (1/2)^(number of half-lives) = 1/64 To solve for the number of half-lives, we can take the logarithm of both sides: log[(1/2)^(number of half-lives)] = log(1/64) Using the rule that log(a^b) = b*log(a), we can simplify the left side of the equation: number of half-lives * log(1/2) = log(1/64) Dividing both sides by log(1/2), we get: number of half-lives = log(1/64) / log(1/2) Using a calculator or the change of base formula, we can evaluate this expression: number of half-lives = 6 Therefore, the half-life of the material is 120/6 = 20 years.

An object moves in a circular path of radius 0.5m with a speed of 1ms−1 . What is its angular velocity?
Antwoorddetails
Angular velocity is a measure of how fast an object is rotating around a center point. It's usually measured in radians per second (rad/s). To calculate angular velocity, we use the formula: angular velocity = linear velocity / radius. In this case, the linear velocity is 1 m/s, and the radius is 0.5 m. So, the angular velocity would be: 1 m/s / 0.5 m = 2 rad/s Therefore, the answer is 2 rad/s or 2rads^-1
