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?
Physics

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

A river is flowing south at a rate of 3 m/s. Steven can roe directly across the river if he aims the raft 30 degrees. What rate
levacccp [35]

Answer:

Steven has to row at a speed to reach the same horizontal spot at the other side of the river is, V = 6 m/s

Explanation:

Given data,

The river flowing south at the rate, v = 3 m/s

To reach the other side directly across the river, he aims the raft, Ф = 30°

The speed of his raft across the river is given by the formula,

                                          V = v / Sin Ф

                                             = 3 / Sin 30°

                                              = 6 m/s

Steven has to row at a speed to reach the same horizontal spot at the other side of the river is, V = 6 m/s
