If there are 50 grams of U-238 on day zero of radioactive decay, how much will there be after 4.5 billion years

2 answers:

4 0

We use the formula of the half-life to calculate for the remaining U-238 after 4.5 billion years. The formula is expressed as A = A₀ (1/2)^(t/h) where A is the final amount, A₀ is the initial amount of the substance, t is the time and h is the half-life of the substance wherein for U-238 h is equal to 4.47 billion years.

<span>A = A₀ (1/2)^(t/h)
</span>A = 50 (1/2)^(4.5 / 4.47)
A = 24.88 g

In a compression wave, particles in the medium move

nikdorinn [45]

in the same direction as the wave

Explanation:

In a compression wave, the particles in the medium moves in the same direction as the wave source.

A wave is generally defined as a disturbance that transmits energy.

There are two types of waves based on the direction through which they are propagated.
Transverse waves are directed perpendicularly in the direction of propagation.
Examples are electromagnetic waves.
Longitudinal waves are parallel to their source. Examples are sound waves, p-waves.
They are made up of series of rarefaction and compression.

A 5.0-kilogram sphere, starting from rest, falls freely 22 meters in 3.0 seconds near the surface of a planet. Compared to the a

Whitepunk [10]

Answer:

C) one-half as great

Explanation:

We can calculate the acceleration of gravity in that planet, using the following kinematic equation:

$\Delta x=v_0t+\frac{gt^2}{2}$

In this case, the sphere starts from rest, so $v_0=0$ . Replacing the given values and solving for g':

$g'=\frac{2\Delta x}{t^2}\\g'=\frac{2(22m)}{(3s)^2}\\g'=4.89\frac{m}{s^2}$

The acceleration due to gravity near Earth's surface is $g=9.8\frac{m}{s^2}$ . So, the acceleration due to gravity near the surface of the planet is approximately one-half of the acceleration due to gravity near Earth's surface.
