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

Answer:

Greater than

Explanation:

Here, angular momentum is conserved.

l_1\omega_1 =l_2\omega_2

When the cloud shrinks under the right conditions, a star may be formed.

Thus, Diameter of clouds are much higher than a star.

Moment of inertia of cloud is greater than the star's inertial.

so, angular velocity of the star would be greater than angular velocity of the rotating gas.

A boxer punches a sheet of paper in mid air, and brings it from rest up to a speed of 25 m/s in 0.05 s. if the mass of the paper
zepelin [54]
Ok, so you've got to figure out a force F and you have the speed in which the boxer punches on determinate time and the mass of the sheet of paper.

So based on the formula that says that the Force is equal to the mass multiplied by the acceleration => F=ma.
You look at it and see that you only have mass which is measured on KG so there is no problem.
then you have the acceleration which is measured on meters and is defined by: a = Δv/Δt 
So now you can replace the velocity and the time you have there
⇒ a 25m/s / 0.05s 
you have computing that ⇒ 50m because the seconds were cancelled out.
and then you plug the meters into the force equation.
F=(0.005kg)(50)
F=0.25N
so the boxer will have a force of 0.25 Newton's.
