Answer:

c) 2.5 g

Explanation:

half-life is the time it takes the radioactive isotope to decay to half of the intial sample.

so if the isotope decays to 2 half-lives, it will decay half the intial sample twice.

in the first half-life, the sample will decay from 10 g to 5 g. during the second half-life, the isotope will decay from 5 g to 2.5 g.

The radius of the aorta is about 1 cm and the blood flowing through it has a speed of about 30 cm/s. Calculate the average speed

puteri [66]

Answer:

The average speed of the blood in the capillaries is 0.047 cm/s.

Explanation:

Given;

radius of the aorta, r₁ = 1 cm

speed of blood, v₁ = 30 cm/s

Area of the aorta, A₁ = πr₁² = π(1)² = 3.142 cm²

Area of the capillaries, A₂ = 2000 cm²

let the average speed of the blood in the capillaries = v₂

Apply continuity equation to determine the average speed of the blood in the capillaries.

A₁v₁ = A₂v₂

v₂ = (A₁v₁) / (A₂)

v₂ = (3.142 x 30) / (2000)

v₂ = 0.047 cm/s

Therefore, the average speed of the blood in the capillaries is 0.047 cm/s.

A geosynchronous Earth satellite is one that has an orbital period of precisely 1 day. Such orbits are useful for communication

koban [17]

Answer:

r = 4.24x10⁴ km.

Explanation:

To find the radius of such an orbit we need to use Kepler's third law:

$\frac{T_{1}^{2}}{T_{2}^{2}} = \frac{r_{1}^{3}}{r_{2}^{3}}$

<em>where T₁: is the orbital period of the geosynchronous Earth satellite = 1 d, T₂: is the orbital period of the moon = 0.07481 y, r₁: is the radius of such an orbit and r₂: is the orbital radius of the moon = 3.84x10⁵ km. </em>

From equation (1), r₁ is:

$r_{1} = r_{2} \sqrt[3] {(\frac{T_{1}}{T_{2}})^{2}}$

$r_{1} = 3.84\cdot 10^{5} km \sqrt[3] {(\frac{1 d}{0.07481 y \cdot \frac{365 d}{1 y}})^{2}}$

$r_{1} = 4.24 \cdot 10^{4} km$

Therefore, the radius of such an orbit is 4.24x10⁴ km.

I hope it helps you!

Imagine that you are going to visit your friend. Before you get there, you decide to stop at the variety store. If you walk 200

SashulF [63]

Answer:

400m

Explanation:

Brainliest? :))

Let your initial displacement from your home to the store be

1 and your displacement from the store to your friend’s house

be Dd

Given: Dd

1 = 200 m [N]; Dd

2 = 600 m [S]

Required: Dd

Analysis: Dd

T 5 Dd

1 1 Dd

Solution: Figure 6 shows the given vectors, with the tip of Dd

joined to the tail of Dd

2. The resultant vector Dd

T is drawn in red,

from the tail of Dd

1 to the tip of Dd

2. The direction of Dd

T is [S].

T measures 4 cm in length in Figure 6, so using the scale of

1 cm : 100 m, the actual magnitude of Dd

T is 400 m.

Statement: Relative to your starting point at your home, your

total displacement is 400 m [S].
