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.

Atomic nuclei are made of protons and neutrons. This fact by itself shows thatthere must be some other type of force in addition
Stells [14]

Protons and neutrons are packed together in a very small region called nucleus. Protons are positively charged and we know that like charges repel. Then how is it that protons are not repelling each other and flying away from nucleus?

You may think that gravitational force is holding all the protons together but it is not so. Gravitational force is many times weaker than repulsive force.

It is actually strong force which holds proton together. At this short distance, strong force comes into play and is several times stronger than the repulsive force.

There is the more role of the moon than the sun to occur tides in the oceans,why?
Nana76 [90]

Answer:

The ocean tides on earth are caused by both the moon's gravity and the sun's gravity. ... Even though the sun is much more massive and therefore has stronger overall gravity than the moon, the moon is closer to the earth so that its gravitational gradient is stronger than that of the sun.

On a highway curve with a radius of 46 meters, the maximum force of static friction that can act on a 1,200 kg car going around
Mekhanik [1.2K]

Answer:

v\approx 16.956\,\frac{m}{s}

Explanation:

The motion of the vehicule on a highway curve can be modelled by the following equation of equilibrium:

\Sigma F = f = m\cdot \frac{v^{2}}{R}

The maximum speed is:

v = \sqrt{\frac{f\cdot R}{m} }

v = \sqrt{\frac{(7500\,N)\cdot (46\,m)}{1200\,kg} }

v\approx 16.956\,\frac{m}{s}

Suppose the electrostatic force between two electrons is F. What is the electrostatic force between an electron and a proton
mars1129 [50]

Answer:

D. −F

Explanation:

the rest of the answers are

2/3F

The force is represented as a positive quantity and is repulsive.

Electrostatic force is inversely proportional to the square of the distance.

The direction of the force changes, and the magnitude of the force quadruples.

hope this helps sorry if i was too late! :)
