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

Mathematics
1 answer:
deff fn [24]2 years ago
7 0

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

Classwork 12.1 surface area
s344n2d4d5 [400]

Answer:

6) LA = 90 units² and SA = 202 units²

7) LA = 377 units² and SA = 477.5 units²

8) LA = 208 units² and SA = 232 units²

9) LA = 455 units² and SA = 591 units²

Step-by-step explanation:

* Lets revise the rules of lateral area and surface area

- Lateral area of the solid = perimeter of its base × its height

- Surface area = lateral area + 2 × area of its base

* Now lets solve the problems

6) The solid is a rectangular prism

- Its base is a rectangle with dimensions 8 units and 7 units

- Its height is 3 units

∵ Perimeter of the rectangle = 2(L + W)

∴ Perimeter of the base = 2(8 + 7) = 2(15) = 30 units

∴ LA = 30 × 3 = 90 units²

∵ Area of the rectangle = L × W

∴ Area of the base = 8 × 7 = 56 units²

∴ SA = 90 + 2 × 56 = 90 + 112 = 202 units²

7) The solid is a cylinder

- Its base is a circle with diameter 8 units

∴ Its radius = 8 ÷ 2 = 4 units

- Its height is 15 units

∵ The perimeter of the circle is 2πr

∴ The perimeter of the base = 2π(4) = 8π

∴ LA = 8π(15) = 120π = 376.99 ≅ 377 units²

∵ The area of the circle = πr²

∴ The area of the base = π(4)² = 16π

∴ SA = 120π + 2 × 16π = 120π + 32π = 152π = 477.5 units²

6) The solid is a triangular prism

- Its base is a triangle with sides 5 , 5 , 6 units and height 4 units

- Its height is 13 units

∵ Perimeter of the triangle is the sum of the 3 sides

∴ Perimeter of the base = 5 + 5 + 6 = 16 units

∴ LA = 16 × 13 = 208 units²

∵ Area of the triangle = 1/2 × base × height

∴ Area of the base = 1/2 × 6 × 4 = 12 units²

∴ SA = 208 + 2 × 12 = 208 + 24 = 232 units²

9) The solid is a prism

- Its base is an isosceles trapezium with parallel bases 7 units and 10

 units, 2 non-parallel bases 9 units and height 8 units

- Its height is 13 units

∵ Perimeter of the trapezium is the sum of its sides

∴ Perimeter of the base = 7 + 10 + 9 + 9 = 35 units

∴ LA = 35 × 13 = 455 units²

∵ Area of the trapezium = 1/2(b1 + b2) × h

∴ Area of the base = 1/2(7 + 10) × 8 = 68 units²

∴ SA = 455 + 2 × 68 = 455 + 136 = 591 units²

\mathbb P(286
\mathbb P(286

The empirical rule says that approximately 68% of any normal distributed data set lies within one standard deviation of the mean.

\mathbb P(-2
\implies\mathbb P(-2

The same rule states that about 95% lies within two standard deviations of the mean. Using this rule, and the fact that any normal distribution is symmetric about its mean, you have

\mathbb P(-2
0.95=2\mathbb P(-2
\implies\mathbb P(-2

\implies\mathbb P(-2
