Answer : H = 484 feet

Explanation :    

Given that,  

Initial height = 160 feet

Initial speed = 144 feet/ sec

Using third equation of motion

v^{2} = u^{2} + 2gh

0 = (144)^{2}\ feet/s+2\times -32feet/s^{2}\times h

h = 324 feet

Now the maximum height

H = h + initial height

H = 324 feet + 160 feet

H = 484 feet

Hence, this is the required solution.

Assuming Earth's gravity, the formula for the flight of the particle is: 

<span>s(t) = -16t^2 + vt + s = -16t^2 + 144t + 160. </span>

<span>This has a maximum when t = -b/(2a) = -144/[2(-16)] = -144/(-32) = 9/2. </span>

<span>Therefore, the maximum height is s(9/2) = -16(9/2)^2 + 144(9/2) + 160 = 484 feet. </span>

An unknown radioactive sample is observed to decrease in activity by a factor of two in a one hour period. What is its half-life
elena55 [62]

Answer:

The half-life is t_{1/2} = 1.005 h

Explanation:

Using the decay equation we have:

A=A_{0}e^{-\lambda t}

Where:

  • λ is the decay constant
  • A(0) the initial activity
  • A is the activity at time t

We know the activity decrease by a factor of two in a one hour period (t = 1 h), it means that A = \frac{A_{0}}{2}

\frac{A_{0}}{2}=A_{0}e^{-\lambda*1 h}

0.5=e^{-\lambda*1 h}

Taking the natural logarithm on each side we have:

ln(0.5)=-\lambda

\lambda=0.69 h^{-1}

Now, the relationship between the decay constant λ and the half-life t(1/2) is:

\lambda = \frac{ln(2)}{t_{1/2}}

t_{1/2} = \frac{ln(2)}{\lambda}

t_{1/2} = \frac{ln(2)}{0.69}

t_{1/2} = 1.005 h

I hope it helps you!

Which describes refraction? *
sergey [27]

Answer:

Refracted rays travel through a boundary into a new medium.

Explanation:

Refracted rays travel through a boundary into a new medium. is only true for refraction.

The angle of incidence is the same for angle of refraction, is not true for refraction. Refraction follows Snell's law, states that ratio of the sine of the angle of refraction and the sine of the angle of incidence is always constant and equivalent to the ratio of phase velocities of the two mediums it is passing through.

Refracted rays change direction and go back to the original medium is false for refraction however, it is true for reflection.
