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.

The frequency of a wave is 200 Hz. The wavelength is 0.1 m. What is the period of the wave?
Aleks04 [339]
The formula for the period of wave is: wave period is equals to 1 over the frequency.waveperiod=\frac{1}{frequency}
To get the value of period of wave you need to divide 1 by 200 Hz. However, beforehand, you have to convert 200 Hz to cycles per second. So that would be, 200 cyles per second or 200/s.
By then, you can start the computation by dividing 1 by 200/s. Since 200/s is in fractional form, you have to find its reciprocal form and multiply it to one which would give you 1 (one) second over 200. This would then lead us to the value 0.005 seconds as the wave period.

wave period= 1/200 Hz
Convert Hz to cycles per second first
200 Hz x 1/s= 200/second
Make 200/second as your divisor, so:

wave period= 1/ 200/s

get the reciprocal form of 200/s which is s/200

then you can start the actual computation:

wave period= 1 x s divided by 200

this would give us an answer of 0.005 s.

The Earth and Moon are separated by about 4.0 10^6 m. Suppose Mars is [{MathJax fullWidth='false' 2.9 \times 10^{11} }] m from E
Shalnov [3]

Answer:

a) α=7.9x10^-4 rad

b) θ=1.12x10^-4 rad

c) The Earth and the Moon cannot be seen without a telescope.

Explanation:

In this exercise we will use the concepts of angular resolution, which depends on both the wavelength of the rays and the diameter of the eye or lens on the meter. Its unit of measure is the radian. The attached image shows the solution step by step.

Objects in space that are moving at a constant velocity in a straight line ___________.
nikdorinn [45]
The best answer is A) <span>keep moving at a constant velocity until some forces act on them

As the man you're probably tired of hearing about said:

"Every object persists in its state of rest or in uniform motion in a straight line unless a new force acts upon it" 
This is Isaac Newton's 1st law of motion, or the law of inertia. 

Put more simply, objects in motion tend to stay in motion, and tend the maintain the same velocity (direction and speed) and objects at rest tend to stay at rest. </span>
