4. Two scientists are experimenting with pure samples of isotope X, a highly radioactive substance. The first scientist has a sa

mple with a mass of 20 grams. He
measures a half-life of 232 seconds. The second scientist has a sample of the same substance with a mass of 80 grams. What is the half-life that she is most likely
to measure?
A. 58 seconds
B.232 seconds
C.464 seconds
D. 928 seconds
Physics

Answer:

D

Explanation:

The substances are the exact same!

The half life should be the same too :)

A half life is how long it takes for a substance to break down and leave your system.

So for 20 grams, it goes away in 232 seconds, but for 80 grams, which is 4 times the amount, you would also multiply the half life by 4

I hope this is correct!

Being able to see a square in the middle of the image despite not having lines to form a square represents the Gestalt principle
vredina [299]

Answer: The correct answer for the blank is -

C. closure.

Gestalt principle of closure describes how we perceive complete figures even when the information that form the figure is missing.

This is due the fact that our brain responds to the familiar patterns inspite of getting incomplete information.

For instance, in the given question, we are able to perceive an image of square in the center despite not having actual lines that form a square.

Thus, it represents principle of closure.

Find the final temperature of 375 grams of tea (c = 4.184 J/g°C) if its initial temperature is 95°C just before it is placed in
Minchanka [31]

Answer:

the final temperature of the tea is 7.39⁰C.

Explanation:

Given;

mass of the tea, m = 375 g

specific heat capacity of the tea, C = 4.184 JJ/g°C

initial temperature of the tea, t₁ = 95°C

the final temperature of the tea, t₂ = ?

Energy lost by the refrigerator, Q = 137,460 J

The energy lost by the refrigerator is given by the following formula;

-Q = mc(t₂ - t₁)

-137,460 =375 x 4.184(t₂ - 95°C)

-137,460 = 1569(t₂ - 95°C)

t_2-95 = \frac{-137,460}{1569} \\\\t_2-95 = -87.61\\\\t_2 = -87.61 + 95\\\\t_2 = 7.39 \ ^0 C

Therefore, the final temperature of the tea is 7.39⁰C.

A 50.0 kg object is moving at 18.2 m/s when a 200 N force
gayaneshka [121]

Answer:

distance = 21.56 m

Explanation:

given data

mass = 50 kg

initial velocity  = 18.2 m/s

force = -200 N ( here force applied to opposite direction )

final velocity = 12.6 m/s

solution

we know here acceleration will be as

acceleration a  = force ÷ mass

a = \frac{-200}{50}   =  -4 m/s²

we get here now required time that is

required time = \frac{V_{(final)} - V_{(initial)}}{a}     ...............1

put here value

required time = \frac{12.6-18.2}{-4}  

so distance will be

distance = \frac{V_{(final)}^2 - V_{(initial)}^2}{2a}    ........2

distance = \frac{12.6}^2 -{18.2}^2}{2\times (-4)}  

distance = 21.56 m
