From the calculations, the half life of the material is 6.5 days.

<h3>What is radioactivity?</h3>

The term radioactivity has to do with the spontaneous disintegration of a specie.

Uisng the formula;

N=Noe^-kt

N= amount at time t = 0.135 Ci or 4.995 ×10^9 Bq

No = amount initially present =  1.75 x 10^12 Bq

k = rate constant = ?

t = time taken = 55 days

Hence;

4.995 ×10^9  = 1.75 x 10^12e^-55k

4.995 ×10^9/1.75 x 10^12 = e^-55k

2.85 * 10^-3 = e^-55k

ln2.85 * 10^-3 = -55k

k = ln2.85 * 10^-3/-55

k = 0.1066 day-1

Half life = 0.693/ 0.1066 day-1

= 6.5 days

A sample of air was collected on a day when the total atmosphere pressure was
zhuklara [117]

Answer:

1. The gas law used: Dalton's law of partial pressure.

2. Pressure of nitrogen = 331 mmHg

Explanation:

From the question given above, the following data were obtained:

Total pressure (Pₜ) = 592 mmHg

Pressure of Oxygen (Pₒ) = 261 mmHg

Pressure of nitrogen (Pₙ) =?

The pressure of nitrogen in the sample can be obtained by using the Dalton's law of partial pressure. This is illustrated below:

Pₜ = Pₒ + Pₙ

592 = 261 + Pₙ

Collect like terms

592 – 261 = Pₙ

331 = Pₙ

Pₙ = 331 mmHg

Therefore, the pressure of nitrogen in the sample is 331 mmHg

What is the acceleration of an object that goes from 3 m/s to 5 m/s in 8 s?
nikdorinn [45]

Answer: 0.25m/s2

Explanation:

Acceleration is change in velocity with time

V = final velocity = 5m/s

U =Initial velocity = 3m/s

t = time = 8s

a = Acceleration =?

a = V — U / t

a = (5 — 3) / 8

a = 2/8

a = 0.25m/s2
