Answer:

Work done = 9  Joules

Explanation:

Work is done when a force applied to an object causes a displacement. When a force applied to an object causes a distance , work is said to be done . Example A woman pushing a cart in a shopping mall. Work is done because force is applied by the woman and it causes the object(cart) to move a distance.  The S.I unit of work is joules.

Work can be represented mathematically as

Work = force × displacement

Force = 15 N

distance = 0.60 m

W = F × d

W = 15 × 0.60

Work done = 9  Joules

Note that weight is a force and is defined as the force exerted on a body.

Work Done = force x displacement. So in this case the 15N is the force (because weight is a force) and 0.60m is the displacement. Therefore 15 x 0.6 = 9 Joules of work done (btw, work done can also be referred to as energy transferred)

How do I solve the following word problem: The half-life of Phosphorus - 32 is 14.3 days. It is used to study a plant's use of f
BaLLatris [955]

Half life is the time that it takes for half of the original value of some amount of a radioactive element to decay.

We have the following equation representing the half-life decay:

A=A_o\times2^{(-\frac{t}{t_{half}})_{}_{}}

A is the resulting amount after t time

Ao is the initial amount = 50 mg

t= Elapsed time

t half is the half-life of the substance = 14.3 days

We replace the know values into the equation to have an exponential decay function for a 50mg sample

A=\text{ 50 }\times2^{\frac{-t}{14.3}}

That would be the answer for a)

To know the P-32 remaining after 84 days we have to replace this value in the equation:

\begin{gathered} A=\text{ 50 }\times2^{\frac{-84}{14.3}} \\ A=0.85\text{ mg} \end{gathered}

So, after 84 days the P-32 remaining will be 0.85 mg

Calculate the number of moles of caco3 (calcium carbonate, or limestone) in a 20.0g sample of this substance
Brrunno [24]
First calculate for the molar mass of the given formula unit, CaCO₃. This can be done by adding up the product when the number of atom is multiplied to its individual molar mass as shown below.

     molar mass of CaCO₃ = (1 mol Ca)(40 g Ca/mol Ca) + (1 mol C)(12 g of C/1 mol of C) + (3 mols of O)(16 g O/1 mol O) = 100 g/mol of CaCO₃

Then, divide the given amount of substance by the calculated molar mass.
            number of moles = (20 g)(1 mol of CaCO₃/100 g)
             number of moles = 0.2 moles of CaCO₃

<em>Answer: 0.2 moles</em>

How many ants would 6 giant anteaters need to eat in one year to get the matter and energy they need? Write a simple formula to
prohojiy [21]

Answer:

180,000 ants

Explanation:

For this problem we can create the following simple formula to solve this problem...

f(x) = 6x

where the variable x represents the number of ants that a single Anteater needs to eat per day. After a quick online search we can see that a single Anteater eats roughly 30,000 ants per day. If we use this value and plug it into the simple formula we can get the total number of ants 6 anteaters need to eat to survive.

f(x) = 6 * 30,000

f(x) = 180,000
