Trace amounts of la (lanthanum), 4 = 139, will be investigated by irradiating a 10-g soil sample in a thermal neutron aux of 10 neutrons/cm's for 14 days, and determining the induced holа. if the "la activity was found to be 10 bq 1 hour after the end of the irradiation time, calculate the la concentration in the soil in units of ug org and ppm (parts per million by weight). given: 1) la abundance - 100% (activation) - 96 tua ( la) = 1.7 days

The graph represents the distance a car travels over time while on the highway. which statement about the car's trip is accurate? a) the car does not move over time. b) the car travels at a constant velocity. c) the car's velocity increases constantly over time. d) the car's velocity decreases constantly over time.

The ultracentrifuge is an important tool for separating and analyzing proteins. because of the enormous centripetal accelerations, the centrifuge must be carefully balanced, with each sample matched by a sample of identical mass on the opposite side. any difference in the masses of opposing samples creates a net force on the shaft of the rotor, potentially leading to a catastrophic failure of the apparatus. suppose a scientist makes a slight error in sample preparation and one sample has a mass 10 mg larger than the opposing sample. if the samples are 12 cm from the axis of the rotor and the ultracentrifuge spins at 70,000 rpm, what is the magnitude of the net force on the rotor due to the unbalanced samples? ( be thorough on your answer)

Sawyer is studying diffraction. he draws a diagram of a plane wave to show how light waves travel. which best describes sawyer’s error? the wave fronts should be perpendicular to the direction in which the waves move. the arrow showing the direction of movement of the waves should be pointing to the left. the arrow showing the direction of movement of the waves should be pointing downward. the wave fronts should be both parallel and perpendicular to the direction in which the waves move.
