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

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

A ball is thrown vertically upwards with a velocity of 9.8 m/s. Its velocity after 1 second will be
Reil [10]

\LARGE{ \underline{\underline{ \purple{ \bf{Required \: answer:}}}}}

GiveN:

  • Initial velocity = 9.8 m/s²
  • Accleration due to gravity = -9.8 m/s²
  • Time taken = 1 s

To FinD:

  • Final velocity of the ball?

Step-by-step Explanation:

Using the first Equation of motion,

⇒ v = u + gt

⇒ v = 9.8 + -9.8(1)

⇒ v = 0 m/s

The final velocity is hence <u>0</u><u> </u><u>m</u><u>/</u><u>s</u><u>.</u>

<h3>Note:</h3>

  • While solving questions of under gravity motions using equations of motion, remember the sign convection to avoid mistakes.
  • You can consider positive above the ground and negative for towards it.

Answer:

a) b = -5

b) slope = 3/2

Explanation:

a) The equation of a line is given as y = mx + b, where m is the slope of the line and b is the intercept on the y axis.

Given that y = 3x + b and it passes through the point (2, 1). Hence when x = 2, y = 1. Therefore, substituting for x and y:

1 = 3(2) + b

1 = 6 + b

b = 1 - 6

b = -5

b) The equation of a line passing through two points (x_1,y_1) and x_2,y_2 is given by:

y-y_1=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}(x-x_1)

The equation of the line passing through the two points (0,3) and (4,9) is:

y-3=\frac{9-3}{4-0}(x-0)\\ \\y-3=\frac{3}{2}x\\ \\y = \frac{3}{2}x+3

Comparing y = (3/2)x + 3 with y = mx + b, the slope (m) is 3/2
