Answer: Behind you

Explanation:

The edge of the pool is the boundary of two different mediums-air and water. the light from coin would bend away from the normal at the interface of the two mediums before reaching the eyes. It means the coin would be closer than expected position and hence on reaching the bottom, the coin would be found behind you.

8. Three grams of Bismuth-218 decay to 0.375 grams in one hour. What is the half-
Evgen [1.6K]

Answer: 0.333 h

Explanation:

This problem can be solved using the <u>Radioactive Half Life Formula</u>:  

A=A_{o}.2^{\frac{-t}{H}} (1)  

Where:  

A=0.375 g is the final amount of the material  

A_{o}=3 g is the initial amount of the material  

t=1 h is the time elapsed  

H is the half life of the material (the quantity we are asked to find)  

Knowing this, let's substitute the values and find h from (1):

0.375 g=(3 g)2^{\frac{-1h}{H}} (2)  

\frac{0.375 g}{3 g}=2^{\frac{-1h}{H}} (3)  

Applying natural logarithm in both sides:

ln(\frac{0.375 g}{3 g})=ln(2^{\frac{-1 h}{H}}) (4)  

-2.079=-\frac{1 h}{H}ln(2) (5)  

Clearing H:

H=\frac{-1h}{-2.079}(0.693) (6)  

Finally:

h=0.333 h This is the half-life of the Bismuth-218 isotope

1. Two-point charges, QA = +8 μC and QB = -5 μC, are separated by a distance r = 10 cm. What is the magnitude and direction of t
tiny-mole [99]

Explanation:

Charges,q_1=8\ \mu C=8\times 10^{-6}\ C

q_2=-5\ \mu C=-5\times 10^{-6}\ C

The distance between charges, r = 10 cm = 0.1 m

We need to find the magnitude and direction of the electric force. It is given by :

F=\dfrac{kq_1q_2}{r^2}\\\\F=\dfrac{9\times 10^9\times 8\times 10^{-6}\times 5\times 10^{-6}}{(0.1)^2}\\\\F=36\ N

So, the required force between charges is 36 N and it is towards positive charge i.e. +8 μC.

A 5.0 kg chunk of putty moving at 10m/s collides and sticks to a 7.0 kg bowling ball that is initially at rest.What is the total
Flura [38]

Answer:

Total momentum = 50kgm/s

Explanation:

<u>Given the following data;</u>

Mass, M1 = 5kg

Mass, M2 = 7kg

Velocity, V1 = 10m/s

Velocity, V2 = 0m/s (since it's at rest).

To find the total momentum;

Momentum can be defined as the multiplication (product) of the mass possessed by an object and its velocity. Momentum is considered to be a vector quantity because it has both magnitude and direction.

Mathematically, momentum is given by the formula;

Momentum = Mass * Velocity

The law of conservation of momentum states that the total linear momentum of any closed system would always remain constant with respect to time.

Total momentum = M1V1 + M2V2

Substituting into the equation, we have;

Total momentum = 5*10 + 7*0

Total momentum = 50 + 0

<em>Total momentum = 50 kgm/s</em>

<em>Therefore, the total momentum of the bowling ball and the putty after they collide is 50 kgm/s. </em>

What is the dependent variable in this
Whitepunk [10]

Answer:

"the plants had already started growing."

Explanation:

I think this is the answer because the definition of a dependent variable is the variable that is being affected by the change. Since the plants had already started growing BECAUSE of "They ran out of the farmer's compost, so

some of the plants received that compost

when the seeds were planted and other

plants got hardware store compost after

the plants had already started growing."

Sorry if I am wrong, I am just a 4th grader, pls don't hate on me, I am just trying to help :)
