If a substance has a half-life of 45 min, how many minutes will it take for 220 g of the substance to be depleted to 1.00 g?.

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.

Newton’s Second Law of motion defines force in terms of mass and acceleration, F= ma. Which of the following is false? The term
NikAS [45]

Answer:

The forces creating the net force must lie in the same direction.

Explanation:

newton's second law states that the net force acting on the body is equal to the product of mass and the acceleration of the body.

If there are several forces acting on the body in different directions, then we have to find teh net force by using the vector sum and then find the acceleration.

It is not necessary that all the forces acting in the same direction.

if they are in different directions then we have to find the net force by t=using the formula for the vector sum.

A professor, with dumbbells in his hands and holding his arms out, is spinning on a turntable with an angular velocity. What hap
Olenka [21]

Answer:

<em>His angular velocity will increase.</em>

Explanation:

According to the conservation of rotational momentum, the initial angular momentum of a system must be equal to the final angular momentum of the system.

The angular momentum of a system = I'ω'

where

I' is the initial rotational inertia

ω' is the initial angular velocity

the rotational inertia = mr'^{2}

where m is the mass of the system

and r' is the initial radius of rotation

Note that the professor does not change his position about the axis of rotation, so we are working relative to the dumbbells.

we can see that with the mass of the dumbbells remaining constant, if we reduce the radius of rotation of the dumbbells to r, the rotational inertia will reduce to I.

From

I'ω' = Iω

since I is now reduced, ω will be greater than ω'

therefore, the angular velocity increases.

Means/end analysis involves:_________
polet [3.4K]

a. a gradual approximation to the final solution

Explanation:

Means/end analysis is a process that involves creation of an end goal to enable the identified means to apply.

In this techniques sub-goals are formed to eliminate the challenges faced in application of a selected operator.

It starts by identifying a predetermined goal which is followed by actions that will led to the goal.
