10% =  1/2 ^n
*where n is number of half lives to reach 10%

n = ln10/ln2

and multiply by 25 gives 83.05 years to 2dp

Hope this helps

Assume the following values: d1 = 0.880 m , d2 = 1.11 m , d3 = 0.560 m , d4 = 2.08 m , F1 = 510 N , F2 = 306 N , F3 = 501 N , F4

Answer:

= 2630.6 N.m

Explanation:

(FR)x = ΣFx = -F4 = -407 N

(FR)y = ΣFy =-F1-F2 -F3 = -510 - 306 - 501 = -1317 N

(MR)B =ΣM + Σ(±Fd)

= MA + F1(d1 +d2) + F2d2 - F4d3

= 1504 + 510(0.880+1.11) +306(1.11) - 407(0.560)

= 2630.64 N.m (counterclockwise)

An irrigation canal has a rectangular cross section. At one point whare the canal is 16.0 m wide, and the water is 3.8 m deep, t
Irina-Kira [14]

Answer:

The depth of the water at this point is 0.938 m.

Explanation:

Given that,

At one point

Wide= 16.0 m

Deep = 3.8 m

Water flow = 2.8 cm/s

At a second point downstream

Width of canal = 16.5 m

Water flow = 11.0 cm/s

We need to calculate the depth

Using Bernoulli theorem

A_{1}V_{1}=A_{2}V_{2}

Put the value into the formula

16.0\times3.8\times2.8=16.5\times x\times 11.0

x=\dfrac{16.0\times3.8\times2.8}{16.5\times11.0}

x=0.938\ m

Hence,  The depth of the water at this point is 0.938 m.

A charge of 12 c passes through an electroplating apparatus in 2. 0 min. what is the average current?
NemiM [27]

The average current is 0.10 A.

<h3>Current </h3>

Charge moving through a location on a circuit at a constant rate is called current. When numerous coulombs of charge pass over a wire's cross section in a circuit, it produces a large current. It is not necessary for a wire to be moving at a fast speed in order to have a high current if the charge carriers are tightly packed into the wire. To put it another way, many charge carriers traveling through the cross section is sufficient; they do not need to travel a great distance in a single instant. The amount of charges that flow through a cross section of wire on a circuit, as opposed to how far they travel in a second, is what determines current.

Does latitude has an effect on weight? PLEASE HELP!​
kotegsom [21]

Answer:

yes

it does you weigh less on the equator than at the North or South Pole, but the difference is small. Note that your body itself does not change. Rather it is the force of gravity and other forces that change as you approach the poles. These forces change right back when you return to your original latitude.
