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

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!

You toss a ball straight up with an initial speed of 30m/s. How high does it go, and how long is it in the air (neglecting air r
Brut [27]

Explanation:

Given that,

A ball is tossed straight up with an initial speed of 30 m/s

We need to find the height it will go and the time it takes in the air.

At its maximum height, its final speed, v = 0 and it will move under the action of gravity. Using equation of motion :

v = u +at

Here, a = -g

v = u -gt

i.e. u = gt

t=\dfrac{u}{g}\\\\t=\dfrac{30\ m/s}{9.8\ m/s^2}\\\\t=3.06\ s

So, the time for upward motion is 3.06 seconds. It means that it will in air for 3.06×2 = 6.12 seconds

Let d is the maximum distance covered by it.

d=ut-\dfrac{1}{2}gt^2

Putting all values

d=30(3.06)-\dfrac{1}{2}\times 9.8\times (3.06)^2\\\\d=45.91\ m

Hence, it will go to a height of 45.91 m and it will in the air for 6.12 seconds.

Eris is slightly more massive than Pluto. However, both of them are smaller than Earth's Moon.
This should conclude that Eris is a dwarf planet.
