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

.3.3: Populating a vector with a for loop. Write a for loop to populate vector userGuesses with NUM_GUESSES integers. Read integ
Reptile [31]

Answer:

#include <iostream>

#include <vector>

using namespace std;

int main() {

  const int NUM_GUESSES = 3;

  vector<int> userGuesses(NUM_GUESSES);

  int i = 0;

int uGuess = 0;

for(i = 0; i <= userGuesses.size() - 1; i++){

 cin >> uGuess;

 userGuesses.at(i) = uGuess;

}

cout << endl;

  return 0;

}

Explanation:

First inbuilt library were imported. Then inside the main( ) function, 3 was assigned to NUM_GUESSES meaning the user is to guess 3 numbers. Next, a vector was defined with a size of NUM_GUESSES.

Then a for-loop is use to receive user guess via cin and each guess is assigned to the vector.

If the force of gravity changes, what happens to the weight of an object?
Nataly [62]
The "weight" is the name we give to the force of gravity on the object. They're the same thing.

A 1400-kg car traveling east at 25m/s collides with a 1800-kg car traveling at a speed of 20m/s in a direction that makes angle
julia-pushkina [17]
M1*V1 + M2*V2 = M1*V + M2*V.
1400*25 + 1800*20[180+40]=1400*V+1800*V.
Divide both sides by 100:
14*25 + 18*20[220o] = 14V + 18V.
350 + 360[220o] = 32V.
350 - 276-231i = 32V.
74 - 231i = 32V.
242.6[-72.2o] = 32V.
V = 7.6m/s[-72.2o]=7.6m/s[72o] S. of E.

An electric train moving at 5m/s accelerates to a speed of 8m/s in 20 seconds. Fine the distance travelled in meters during the
adelina 88 [10]
<h3>Answer:  130 meters</h3>

===================================================

Explanation:

vi = 5 and vf = 8 are the initial and final velocities respectively. The change in time is t = 20 seconds.

So,

x = 0.5*(vi + vf)*t

x = 0.5*(5+8)*20

x = 130 meters

represents the distance traveled. The first equation shown above is one of the four kinematics equations.
