➷ After 10,000 years the mass will be:

1,000 / 2 = 500

After 20,000 years the mass will be:

500/2 = 250

As you can see, the correct answer would be A. 20,000 years

Answer:

A). t = 20,000 years

Explanation:

Half life is the total time after which the substance will decay and remains only half of the initial amount

So here we will say that

initial amount is 1000 gram

Now after one half life only half of the amount will remain

so it is

m_1 = 1000/2 = 500 gram

now again after another half life it will remain half of the initial amount

so it is

m_2 = 500/2 = 250 gram

so it took two half lives

t = 10,000 + 10,000

t = 20,000 years

What is latent heat of fusion?
Naddik [55]

If you have a lump of solid at its melting point ... like ice at 32°F ...
you have to put a certain amount of heat into it just to change it
to water at 32°F.  That amount of heat, that's used just to change
a solid lump into liquid without changing its temperature, is called
the heat of fusion for that substance.

The number is different for every substance.

For water, it takes 336 joules of heat to melt 1 gram of ice
into 1 gram of water, all at 32°F (0°C).
That's an enormous latent heat of fusion ... more than almost any
other known substance.  That's why ice is such a good choice
when you need something to put in your drink to cool it down.
Ice absorbs a huge amount of heat before it melts and the drink
gets watered down.

A bus accelerates from 5.75 m/s at a rate of 1.25 m/s/s for 3.50
marysya [2.9K]

Answer:

10.125 meters?

Explanation:

Im taking 5.75m/s + 1.25 m/s/s (3.5) = my answer.

In those 3.5 seconds it travels 4.375.

I added that to 5.75 to get 10.125m

When the weight of the object increase block what is the force of friction applied? Explanation?
erik [133]

Answer:

There is absolutely No relationship between the weight of an object (which is constant) and the frictional force. If a block is sliding on a surface, that surface will be exerting a force on the block. That force can be resolved into a component parallel to the surface (which we call the frictional component), and a component perpendicular to the surface (called the normal component). For many situations, we find experimentally that the frictional component is approximately proportional to the normal component. The frictional component divided by the normal component is defined to be a quantity called the coefficient of kinetic or sliding friction. The coefficient of kinetic friction obviously depends on the nature of the surfaces involved. The normal component on an object can be decreased if you pull in the direction of the normal component (the weight does not change). However pulling this way on the object not only decreases the normal component, but it also decreases the frictional component since they are proportional. This is why it is easier to slide something if you pull up on it while you push it. If you push down, the normal and frictional components increase so it is harder to slide the object. The weight of an object is the downward force exerted by Earth’s gravity on that object, and it does not change no matter how you push or pull on the object.
