Answer:
Option B. 32 g
Explanation:
From the question given above, the following data were obtained:
Original amount (N₀) = 128 g
Half-life (t½) = 2.25 billion years
Number of half-lives (n) = 2
Amount remaining (N) =?
The amount of 128 gram of Radium-226 that will remain after 2 half-lives has elapsed can be obtained as followb
N = 1/2ⁿ × N₀
N = 1/2² × 128
N = 1/4 × 128
N = 0.25 × 128
N = 32 g
Therefore, 32g of the sample will remain.
Answer:
Corpuscular theory of light
Explanation:
In optics, the corpuscular theory of light, arguably set forward by Descartes in 1637, states that light is made up of small discrete particles called "corpuscles" which travel in a straight line with a finite velocity and possess impetus. This was based on an alternate description of atomism of the time period.
Answer:
141.78 ft
Explanation:
When speed, u = 44mi/h, minimum stopping distance, s = 44 ft = 0.00833 mi.
Calculating the acceleration using one of Newton's equations of motion:
Note: The negative sign denotes deceleration.
When speed, v = 79mi/h, the acceleration is equal to when it is 44mi/h i.e. -116206.48 mi/h^2
Hence, we can find the minimum stopping distance using:
The minimum stopping distance is 141.78 ft.
