The number of nuclei that have decayed after three half-lives is 12.5% of the original mass.

<h3>What is half live of radioactive isotope?</h3>

The half life of a radioactive isotope is the time taken for the element to decay to half of its original mass.

<h3>Number of nuclei decayed after 3 half lives</h3>

N = N₀/(2³)

N = N₀/8

N = 0.125N₀

N = 12.5% of N₀

where;

  • N is n number of nuclei that have decayed after 3 half lives
  • N₀ is the original mass

Thus, the number of nuclei that have decayed after three half-lives is 12.5% of the original mass.

Antelope: uniform motion => V = d/t => d = Vt = 7m/s * t

Lion: uniformly accelerated motion, with initial velocity = 0 => d = [1/2]a*t^2 = [1/2]*[5m/s^2]*t^2

7*t = 2.5*t^2=> 2.5t^2 - 7t =0 => t(2.5t - 7) = 0

2.5t - 7 = 0 => t = 7/2.5 = 2.8 m/s^2

A scientist should be creative in order to
uysha [10]

Answer:

find possible answers to problems

Explanation:

Science can be defined as a branch of intellectual and practical study which systematically observe a body of fact in relation to the structure and behavior of non-living and living organisms (animals, plants and humans) in the natural world through experiments.

Science is applied to many fields in the world such as medicine, information technology, cybersecurity, engineering, environmental etc.

Basically, knowing how to apply science simply means a scientist understands the appropriate method or technique to be used in the application of a technology such as when solving a problem.

Creativity implies being able to use an idea to proffer solutions to a problem in an intelligent manner.

Hence, a scientist should be creative in order to find possible answers to problems.

A feather of mass 0.001 kg falls from a height of 2 m. Under realistic conditions, it experiences air resistance. Based on what
snow_tiger [21]

As per initial given conditions first we will find the initial potential energy of the feather

U = mgh

m = 0.001 kg

g = 9.8 m/s^2

h = 2m

U = (0.001kg)(9.8 m/s^2)(2m)

U = 0.0196 J

now we know that few amount of its initial energy is lost in form of frictional energy loss

so remaining energy will be less than the initial potential energy

So final answer would be

<u><em>A. KE < 0.0196 J</em></u>

For a spacecraft or a molecule to leave the moon, it must reach the escape velocity (speed) of the moon, which is 2.37 km/s. The
guapka [62]

Answer:

Vrms = 291 m/s

Explanation:

The root mean square velocity or vrms is the square root of the average square velocity and is. vrms=√3RTM. Where M is equal to the molar mass of the molecule in kg/mol.

Temperature = 365 K

Root mean square velocity = ?

molar mass of oxygen = 16 g/mol.

But xygen gas (O2) is comprised of two oxygen atoms bonded together. Therefore:

   molar mass of O2 = 2 x 16

   molar mass of O2 = 32 g/mol

   Convert this to kg/mol:

   molar mass of O2 = 32 g/mol x 1 kg/1000 g

   molar mass of O2 = 3.2 x 10-2 kg/mol

Molar mass of Oxygen = 3.2 x 10-2 kg/mol

Vrms = √[3(8.3145 (kg·m2/sec2)/K·mol)(365 K)/3.2 x 10-2 kg/mol]

Vrms = 291 m/s
