The time taken for the substance to decay to 1 g of its original mass is 350 mins.

<h3>What is half life?</h3>

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

N = N₀(¹/₂)^t/h

where;

  • N is the remaining mass
  • N₀ is the original mass
  • h is half life
  • t is time

1 = 220(¹/₂)^t/h

1/220 = (¹/₂)^t/h

log(1/220) = log(¹/₂)^t/h

log(1/220) = t/h [log(¹/₂)]

-2.342 = t/h (-0.301)

7.78 = t/h

7.78 x h = t

7.78 x 45 min = t

350 mins = t

Thus, the time taken for the substance to decay to 1 g of its original mass is 350 mins.

A standing wave of the third overtone is induced in a stopped pipe, 2.5 m long. The speed of sound is The frequency of the sound
NemiM [27]

Answer:

f3 = 102 Hz

Explanation:

To find the frequency of the sound produced by the pipe you use the following formula:

f_n=\frac{nv_s}{4L}

n: number of the harmonic = 3

vs: speed of sound = 340 m/s

L: length of the pipe = 2.5 m

You replace the values of n, L and vs in order to calculate the frequency:

f_{3}=\frac{(3)(340m/s)}{4(2.5m)}=102\ Hz

hence, the frequency of the third overtone is 102 Hz

The closest star to our solar system is Alpha Centauri, which is 4.12 × 10^16 m away. How long would it take light from Alpha Ce
bonufazy [111]

Time = (distance) / (speed)

Time = (4.12x10^16 m) / (3 x10^8 m/s)

Time = 1.37 x 10^8 seconds

Divide the seconds by 86,400 to get days. Then divide the days by 365 to get years.

Time = about 4.35 years

a lump of putty and a rubber ball have equal mass. both are thrown with equal speed against a wall. the putty sticks to the wall
RUDIKE [14]
The bouncy ball experiences the greater momentum change.

To understand why, you need to remember that momentum is actually
a vector quantity ... it has a size AND it has a direction too.

The putty and the ball have the same mass, and you throw them
with the same speed.  So, on the way from your hand to the wall,
they both have the same momentum.
Call it " M in the direction toward the wall ".

After they both hit the wall:

-- The putty has zero momentum.
    Its momentum changed by an amount of  M .

-- The ball has momentum of " M in the direction away from the wall ".
    Its momentum changed by an amount of  2M .

How many miles must you travel to make the Earth fall the same amount?
Ede4ka [16]

Let's take the analogy of the baseball pitcher a step farther. When a baseball is thrown in a straight line, we already said that the ball would fall to Earth because of gravity and atmospheric drag. Let's pretend again that there is no atmosphere, so there is no drag to slow the baseball down. Now, let's assume that the person throwing the ball throws it so fast that as the ball falls towards the Earth, it also travels so far, before falling even a little, that the Earth's surface curves away from the ball's path.

In other words, the baseball falls as it did before, but the ball is moving so fast that the curvature of the Earth becomes a factor and the Earth "falls away" from the ball. So, theoretically, if a pitcher on a 100 foot (30.48 m) high hill threw a ball straight and fast enough,the ball would circle the Earth at exactly 100 feet and hit the pitcher in the back of the head once it circled the globe! The bad news for the person throwing the ball is that the ball will be traveling at the same speed as when they threw it, which is about 8 km/s or several times faster than a rifle bullet. This would be very bad news if it came back and hit the pitcher, but we'll get to that in a minute.

The olive oil in a bottle has a mass of 360 g. If the density of olive oil is 0.9 g/mL, what is its volume?
andreev551 [17]
Mass/density= volume so it will be 360/0.9 which equals to 400 and if you want to find mass you just need to multiple volume•density
