Answer:
1.77 x 10^-8 C
Explanation:
Let the surface charge density of each of the plate is σ.
A = 4 x 4 = 16 cm^2 = 16 x 10^-4 m^2
d = 2 mm
E = 2.5 x 10^6 N/C
ε0 = 8.85 × 10-12 C2/N ∙ m2
Electric filed between the plates (two oppositively charged)
E = σ / ε0
σ = ε0 x E
σ = 8.85 x 10^-12 x 2.5 x 10^6 = 22.125 x 10^-6 C/m^2
The surface charge density of each plate is ± σ / 2
So, the surface charge density on each = ± 22.125 x 10^-6 / 2
= ± 11.0625 x 10^-6 C/m^2
Charge on each plate = Surface charge density on each plate x area of each plate
Charge on each plate = ± 11.0625 x 10^-6 x 16 x 10^-4 = ± 1.77 x 10^-8 C
1 year = (365 / 121) = 3.02 half-lifes. Let's call it 3 .
The amount of radioactive isotope remaining after 3 half-lifes is
(1/2) x (1/2) x (1/2) = 1/8
A year after the medical lab received the 24 kg of W-181,
there will still be 24 kg of stuff in the container.
But only 3 kg of it will still be W-181. The other 21 kg will be
whatever substances W-181 becomes when it decays.
Sadly, even the 3 kg of good stuff won't be usable anymore ...
it'll be thoroughly mixed with the 21 kg of junk. It would be harder
and more expensive to try and separate them than to buy a new
can of pure W-181, and USE it before 7/8 of it has deteriorated.
<span>Vibration waves from earth quakes travel through the earth and have measurable speed. And the different temperatures and fluidity of the various regions of the mantle will change that speed and or reflect the vibration waves in different directions. With multiple vibration sensors around the world the time that it takes for vibrations to travel from one part of the world to another will tell you what is inside.</span>
