Particles in a nucleus are bound by the strong force. A reasonable model of this binding would be a barrier potential of finite energy. Quantum mechanics allows a small, nonzero probability for a particle to "tunnel" through a potential barrier. Working with this rough model, we can say that, for a given unstable nucleus, there is a constant probability of some particle, say an alpha particle, tunneling through the barrier and being emitted as radiation. Since this probability is constant, depending only on the particular nuclide involved, you would expect the number of decays per second to be proportional to the number of nuclei present. Since the number of decays is the same as the amount by which the total number of nuclei (of the particular type being considered) is reduced, you can construct the relationship dN(t)dt=−λN(t), where N(t) is the number of nuclei at a time t. The constant of proportionality λ is called the decay constant. If N(t)=Ce−λt, where C is some constant, what is dN(t)dt? Express your answer in terms of C, λ, and t.

Electroplating is a way to coat a complex metal object with a very thin (and hence inexpensive) layer of a precious metal, such as silver or gold. in essence the metal object is made the cathode of an electrolytic cell in which the precious metal cations are dissolved in aqueous solution. suppose a current of 480.ma is passed through an electroplating cell with an aqueous solution of agno3 in the cathode compartment for 46.0 seconds. calculate the mass of pure silver deposited on a metal object made into the cathode of the cell. round your answer to 3 significant digits. also, be sure your answer contains a unit symbol. ×10μ

Air enters a gas turbine with two stages of compression and two stages of expansion at 100 kpa and 17°c. this system uses a regenerator as well as reheating and intercooling – the intercooler returns the air to the inlet temperature. the pressure ratio across each compressor is 4 ; 300 kj/kg of heat are added to the air in each combustion chamber; and the regenerator operates perfectly while increasing the temperature of the cold air by 20°c. determine the system’s thermal efficiency. assume isentropic operations for all compressor and the turbine stages and use constant specific heats at room temperature.

We will use a video to study faraday’s law of electromagnetic induction by analyzing the induction that occurs due a coil of copper wire sliding along an air track that passes through an external magnetic field. specifically, we will: examine some of the main principles behind faraday’s law. apply lenz’s law to determine the direction of the induced emf. take measurements of the induced emf from the voltmeter as the coil passes into and out of the external magnetic field. use the horizontal scale provided to determine the speed of the coil. calculate the magnetic field induced in the coil as it passes into and out of the external magnetic field.
