The instantaneous velocity of the object is its speed and direction at that instant.

The instantaneous velocity of the object is its speed and its direction at that particular point.

Basically it also has two features like velocity the magnitude and the direction but in this case as its the instantaneous velocity it is the velocity at a specific instant too.

It is determined similarly to the average velocity of an object, but we narrow the period of the time so that it approaches zero.

Leto [7]

Answer:

Explanation:

In the question it is given that From 10 identical cuts of lamb, 2 are randomly selected to roast using each of the time-temperature combinations in the same oven. Here it is an act of copying the exact sahpe size of the lamb in all cuts, which is nothing but replication. Moreover, this replication can help in proper comparision.

Relationship between frequency, amplitude, wavelength and energy in a transverse wave.

liq [111]

In a transverse wave:
- Oscillations are perpendicular to the direction of energy travelling
- Frequency is the amount of complete waves passing a certain point in one second (measured in hertz, Hz)
- Wavelength is the distance from any point on one wave to the same point on the following wave
- The amplitude is the maximum displacement of the particles from their average position (and be measured from the horizontal mid-point of the wave to either the peak or trough)

There isn't always a defined relationship between these features. However, frequency × wavelength = velocity of the wave.

Which. describe newtons law of univesel gravitation

Fed [463]

Newton's law of universal gravitation, says that every particle attracts every other particle in the universe with a force which is directly proportional to the product of their masses and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between their centers.

Or in simple words, every particle in the world attracts each other to themselves, but the particle with most mass would attract with more force compared to a particle with less mass.

The half-life of Iodine-131 is 8.0252 days. If 14.2 grams of I-131 is released in Japan and takes 31.8 days to travel across the

MakcuM [25]

Answer:

Explanation:

Half-life problems are modeled as exponential equations. The half-life formula is $P=P_o\left (\dfrac{1}{2} \right)^{\frac{t}{k}}$ where $P_o$ is the initial amount, $k$ is the length of the half-life, $t$ is the amount of time that has elapsed since the initial measurement was taken, and $P$ is the amount that remains at time $t$ .

$P=14.2\left (\dfrac{1}{2} \right)^{\frac{t}{8.0252}}$

Deriving the half-life formula

If one forgets the half-life formula, one can derive an equivalent equation by recalling the basic an exponential equation, $y=a b^{t}$ , where $t$ is still the amount of time, and $y$ is the amount remaining at time $t$ . The constants a and b can be solved for as follows:

Knowing that amount initially is 14.2g, we let this be time zero:

$y=a b^{t}$

$(14.2)=ab^{(0)}$

$14.2=a *1$

$14.2=a$

So, $a=14.2$ , which represents out initial amount of the substance, and our equation becomes: $y=14.2 b^{t}$

Knowing that the "half-life" is 8.0252 days (note that the unit here is "days", so times for all future uses of this equation must be in "days"), we know that the amount remaining after that time will be one-half of what we started with:

$\left(\frac{1}{2} *14.2 \right)=14.2 b^{(8.0252)}$

$\dfrac{7.1}{14.2}=\dfrac{14.2 b^{8.0252}}{14.2}$

$0.5=b^{8.0252}$

$\sqrt[8.0252]{\frac{1}{2}}=\sqrt[8.0252]{b^{8.0252}}$

$\sqrt[8.0252]{\frac{1}{2}}=b$

Recalling exponent properties, one could find that $\left ( \frac{1}{2} \right )^{\frac{1}{8.0252}}=b$ , which will give the equation identical to the half-life formula. However, recalling this trivia about exponent properties is not necessary to solve this problem. One can just evaluate the radical in a calculator:

$b=0.9172535661...$

Using this decimal approximation has advantages (don't have to remember the half-life formula & don't have to remember as many exponent properties), but one minor disadvantage (need to keep more decimal places to reduce rounding error).

So, our general equation derived from the basic exponential function is:

$y=14.2* (0.9172535661)^t$ or $y=14.2*(0.5)^{\frac{t}{8.0252}}$ where y represents the amount remaining at time t.
