A plane glides towards a ground-based radar dish. Radar locates the plane at a distance D = 22 km from the dish, at an angle θ =
1 answer:
The correct answer is :
Unit vectors I and j along the x-axis and y-axis, respectively, define the Cartesian coordinate system. The radial unit vector r, which indicates the direction from the origin, and the unit vector t, which is orthogonal (perpendicular) to the radial direction, together create the polar coordinate system.
We can obtain the horizontal component by applying the trigonometric identity of Cos(Ф), and if we obtain the component on the x axle, such as 22000 (m)×Cos(51°) = x, we may determine that x = 13845.05 metres. We need to obtain the vector components because we already know the distance and the angle.

Answer: a) 3.85 days
b) 10.54 days
Explanation:-
Expression for rate law for first order kinetics is given by:
where,
k = rate constant = ?
t = time taken for decomposition = 3 days
a = let initial amount of the reactant = 100 g
a - x = amount left after decay process =
First we have to calculate the rate constant, we use the formula :
Now put all the given values in above equation, we get
a) Half-life of radon-222:
Thus half-life of radon-222 is 3.85 days.
b) Time taken for the sample to decay to 15% of its original amount:
where,
k = rate constant =
t = time taken for decomposition = ?
a = let initial amount of the reactant = 100 g
a - x = amount left after decay process =
Thus it will take 10.54 days for the sample to decay to 15% of its original amount.
