Element X decays radioactively with a half life of 13 minutes. If there are 560 grams

Mathematics

The time taken for the element X to decay from 560 grams to 150 grams is 24.7 mins

<h3>How to determine the number of half-lives </h3>
  • Original amount (N₀) = 560 g
  • Amount remaining (N) = 150 g
  • Number of half-lives (n) =?

2ⁿ = N₀ / N

2ⁿ = 560 / 150

2ⁿ = 3.73

Take the log of both side

Log 2ⁿ = Log 3.73

nLog 2 = Log 3.73

Divide both side by Log 2

n = Log 3.73 / Log 2

n = 1.9

<h3>How to determine the time </h3>
  • Number of half-lives (n) = 1.9
  • Half-life (t½) = 13 mins
  • Time (t) =?

t = n × t½

t = 1.9 × 13

t = 24.7 mins

28. Barrett's mom has a flower vase that is shaped like a perfect cylinder.
zimovet [89]

Answer:

Vase volume is 452.16 in³

Step-by-step explanation:

The question asks for the volume of a cylinder of radius r and height h.  The relevant formula is V = (pi)(r)^2*h

With h = 9 in and r = 4 in, that max volume (of water) is

V = (3.14)(4 in)^2*(9 in) = 452.`16 in³

What is the value of​ x?
olchik [2.2K]

Answer:

x = 4 sqrt(2)

Step-by-step explanation:

This is a right triangle so we can use trig functions

sin theta = opp/ hypotenuse

sin 45 = 4/x

Multiply x to each side

x sin 45 = 4/x *x

x sin 45 = 4

Divide each side by sin 45

x sin 45 / sin 45 = 4 /sin 45

x = 4/ sin 45

We know sin 45 = sqrt(2)/2

x = 4/ sqrt(2) /2

x = 8/ sqrt(2)

We do not leave a sqrt in the denominator so multiply by sqrt(2)/ sqrt(2)

x = 8/ sqrt(2) * sqrt(2)/sqrt(2)

x = 8 * sqrt(2) /2

x = 4 sqrt(2)
