A 12.65 g sample of a radioactive substance is allowed to decay for 17.22 min. At that time, the sample weighed 3.115 g. What is

the half-life for this substance?

Answer:

8.61 min

Explanation:

original mass= 12.65

first half life = 12.65/2 = 6.325

second half life = 6.325/2 = 3.1625

Note : 3.1625 is the closest to the value (3.115) given so we work with it

total time for decay =17.22

therefore two decays = 17.22/2= 8.61

Which property of light remains unchanged when it enters a different medium?
RideAnS [48]
B. Frequency remains unchanged because the energy in a photon is E=hf. So if the frequency changes so does the energy and that doesn't happen to EM waves entering a medium by the conservation of energy

An 805-kg race car can drive around an unbanked turn at a maximum speed of 54 m/s without slipping. the turn has a radius of cur
SIZIF [17.4K]
(a) Equating centripetal force to friction force, one finds the relation
  v² = kar
for car speed v, coefficient of friction k, radius of curvature r, and downward acceleration a.

There is already downward acceleration due to gravity. The additional accceleration due to the wing is
  a = F/m = 10600 N/(805 kg) ≈ 13.1677 m/s²
We presume this is added to the 9.80 m/s² gravity provides, so the coefficient of friction is
  k = v²/(ar) = (54 m/s)²/((13.1677 m/s² +9.80 m/s²)·(155 m))
  k ≈ 0.8191

(b) The maximum speed is proportional to the square root of the downward acceleration. Changing that by a factor of 9.80/(9.80+13.17) changes the maximum speed by the square root of this factor.
  max speed with no wing effect = (54 m/s)√(9.8/22.97) ≈ 35.27 m/s
