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!

A transverse wave is described by the expression y= 0.05 cos(5.25x-1775t) 1- What is the wavelength of this wave?​
jeka57 [31]

Answer:

1.196 m

Explanation:

Given the wave equation :

y= 0.05 cos(5.25x-1775t)

Recall the general traverse wave relation :

y(x, t) = Acos(kx - wt)

A = Amplitude

To Obtian the wavelength ;

We compare the both equations :

Take the value of k ;

kx = 5.25x

k = 5.25

Recall;

k = 2π/λ

5.25 = 2π/λ

5.25λ = 2π

λ = 2π / 5.25

λ = (2 * 3.14) / 5.25 = 1.196 m
