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

Which of the below statements are true?
andrezito [222]

Answer:

B

Explanation:

Displacement is the distance from the start point to the endpoint, displacement disregard the path taken or the amount traveled.

if you start at point A, then go to point B, and back to point A, the displacement is zero because you started and ended at the same point.

for this question, pretend you started at point A, went east 20 km to point B, and then west 8 km to point C, your displacement is 12 km. 12 km is the distance between point A and point C.

A transformer is designed to provide 6 V from a 150 V supply. If the primary coil has 1000 turns, how many turns does the second
zavuch27 [327]
The applicable relationship is N1/N2 = V1/V2, meaning the ratio of primary voltage to secondary voltage is equal to the ratio of primary turns to secondary turns.

Here N1 = 1000, V1 = 250, V2 = 400V and N2 = TBD.

Rewriting the above relationship, N2 = N1 V2/V1 = 1000 x 400/250 = 1600 turns.
