Explain why the expression 300 × 2–n can be used to find the amount of the substance that remains after n half-lives.


Answer:

Given, 300 grams of a substance decrease to 300 × 2-3 after 3 half-lives.


⇒ Evaluating 300 × 2-3


We know by laws of exponents, a-n =


⇒ 300 × 2-3 = = = = 37.5 grams


∴ 3.75 grams of the substance are left.



Question 155.

Consider a quantity of a radioactive substance. The fraction of this quantity that remains after t half-lives can be found by using the expression 3–t.

A. What fraction of substance remains after 7 half-lives?

B. After how many half-lives will the fraction be of the original?


Answer:

Given that the fraction of radioactive substance that remains after t half-lives can be found by the expression 3-t.


A. Here, t = 7


∴ Fraction of substance that remains after 7 half-lives = 3-7


We know by laws of exponents, a-n =


⇒ 3-7 = =


of radioactive substance remains after 7 half-lives.


B. Fraction of substance that remains after t half-lives =


But fraction of radioactive substance that remains after t half-lives = 3-t


∴ 3-t =


243 can also be written as 35.



We know that by laws of exponents, .


⇒ 3-t = 3-5


As bases are equal, we equate the powers.


⇒ -t = -5


∴ t = 5


∴ After 5 half-lives the fraction will be of the original.



Question 156.

One Fermi is equal to 10–15 metre. The radius of a proton is 1.3 Fermis. Write the radius of a proton in metres in standard form.


Answer:

Given 1 Fermi = 10-15 m


Radius of proton = 1.3 Fermis


Radius of proton in metres = 1.3 × 10-15


Moving 1 decimal to the right,


⇒ 1.3 × 10-15 = 13 × 101 × 10-15


We know that by properties of exponents, am × an = am + n.


⇒ 13 × 101 × 10-15 = 13 × 101-15


= 13 × 10-14


∴ The radius of a proton in standard form is 13 × 10-14 m.

Question 161.

Shikha has an order from a golf course designer to put palm trees through a ( × 23) machine and then through a ( × 33) machine. She thinks she can do the job with a single repeater machine. What single repeater machine should she use?



Answer:

Let W1 be the work done by (x23)machine.


Let W2 be the work done by (x33) machine.


Work done by both the machines is Wt = W1xW2


Wt = 23x33


Wt = 2x2x2x3x3x3 = 8x27 = 216


If a single repeater has to be used, then the machine is of the form (x Am) where A and m are both natural numbers.


216 = 6x6x6 = 63


A = 6, m = 3.


Therefore, Shikha should use a (x63) single repeater machine.



Question 162.

Neha needs to stretch some sticks to 252 times their original lengths, but her ( × 25) machine is broken. Find a hook-up of two repeater machines that will do the same work as a ( × 252) machine. To get started, think about the hook up you could use to replace the ( × 25) machine.



Answer:

Let W1 be the work done by firstmachine.


Let W2 be the work done by second machine.


Work done by both the machines is Wt = W1xW2


Wt = 252 = 625


625 = 5x5x5x5 = 52x52


W1xW2 = 52x52


W1 = W2 = 52


Therefore, Neha can use a hook-up of two (x52) machines.



Question 163.

C.

D.


Answer:

A. From the figure, it is evident that the input is 5cm and the output is 5cm. = 1. Therefore, it is a (x1) repeater.


B. From the figure, it is evident that the input is 3cm and the output is 15cm. = 5. Therefore, it is a (x5) repeater.


C. From the figure, it is evident that the input is 1.25cm and the repeater is a (x4). = 4, gives Output = 1.25x4 = 5cm.


D. From the figure, it is evident that the output is 36cm and the repeater is a (x4) and a (x3) = (x12). = 12, gives Input = = 3cm.



Question 164.

If possible, find a hook-up of prime base number machine that will do the same work as the given stretching machine. Do not use ( × 1) machines.



Answer:

(a)


(x100)


Prime factorization of 100 = 2x2x5x5 = 22 x 52


The hook-up is (x22) and (x52)


(b)


(x99)


Prime factorization of 99 = 3x3x11 = 32 x 11


The hook-up is (x32) and (x11)


(c)


(x37)


37 itself is a prime number. A hook-up machine by definition must contain more than one machines. Since the factors of 37 are 1 and 37 and we are forbidden to use (x1) machines, no hook-up is possible.


(d)


(x1111)


Prime factorization of 1111 = 11x101


The hook-up is (x11) and (x101)



Question 165.

Find two repeater machines that will do the same work as a ( × 81) machine.


Answer:

Let W1 be the work done by firstmachine.


Let W2 be the work done by second machine.


Work done by both the machines is Wt = W1xW2


Wt = 81 = 9x9


9x9 = 3x3x3x3


W1xW2 = 32x32


W1 = W2 = 32


Therefore, the two repeater machines are (x32) and (x32).



Question 166.

Question 170.

Long back in ancient times, a farmer saved the life of a king’s daughter. The king decided to reward the farmer with whatever he wished. The farmer, who was a chess champion, made an unusual request:

“I would like you to place 1 rupee on the first square of my chessboard,

2 rupees on the second square, 4 on the third square, 8 on the fourth square, and so on, until you have covered all 64 squares.

Each square should have twice as many rupees as the previous square.” The king thought this to be too less and asked the farmer tothink of some better reward, but the farmer didn’t agree.

How much money has the farmer earned?

[Hint: The following table may help you. What is the first square on which the king will place at least Rs 10 lakh?]



Answer:

A chess board consist of 8 by 8 squares.


It is evident from the problem that the arrangement is in the powers of 2.


The first square has 20 rupee coin.


The second square has 21 rupee coin.


The third square has 22 rupee coin, and so on.


Total sum S = 20 + 21 + 22 + 23 + 24 + … + 263 (64 terms)


This is in a series called a geometric progression, whose sum can be calculated using the formula S = where a is the first term, i.e 20 = 1, n is the number of terms and r is the common ratio which is 2.


S = = Rs. 3,68,93,48,81,47,41,91,03,230.

What is distance between the Moon and the Sun at that particular time? (Question given is wrong, corrected.)


Answer:


From the problem, SE = 3.84 × 1011 m


ME = 1.496 × 108 m


SM = x m


SM = SE-ME


3.84 × 1011 m - 1.496 × 108 m


3.84 × 1011 m – 0.001496 × 1011 m


3.84 × 1011 m – 0.001496 × 1011 m


SM = 3.838 × 1011 m
