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

Mathematics

deff fn [24]2 years ago

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

You start driving north for 24 miles, turn right, and drive east for another 10 miles. At the end of driving, what is your strai
yawa3891 [41]

Answer:

26 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: 24 miles drive to north.

          10 miles drive to east.

Driving pattern form a right angle triangle, which has three leg including straight line distance from starting point (hypotenous).

Now, using Pythogorean theoram to find straight line distance from starting point.

h²= a²+b²

Where, h is hypotenous

            a is opposite leg

            b is adjacent leg.

⇒h²= 24^{2} + 10^{2}

⇒h^{2} = 576+100

⇒h^{2} = 676

Taking square root on both side, remember; √a²= ±a

⇒h=\sqrt{676}

∴ h= \pm 26

Ignoring -26 as distance cannot be negative.

Hence, 26 miles is the straight line distance from starting point.

When conducting a significance test in practice, how should you choose the alpha level?.
iVinArrow [24]

The alpha level should always be set to 0.05.

The supplied statement;

How should you select the alpha() level when doing a significance test in practice,

⇒ Use a higher alpha when the consequences of wrongly rejecting the null hypothesis are more severe. Select alpha () = 0.05 in every situation since it is the best option. Use a smaller alpha when the consequences of wrongly rejecting the null hypothesis are more severe.
