A car of mass 300kg starts from rest and travels upwards along a straight road of 450m inclined at an angle of 5 degree to the h
orizontal and the speed of the car is 28m/s at the top of the slope. Determine its acceleration, the time taken to travel, the length of the slope, gain in kinetic energy and gain in gravitational potential energy

Answer:
A 1.0 min
Explanation:
The half-life of a radioisotope is defined as the time it takes for the mass of the isotope to halve compared to the initial value.
From the graph in the problem, we see that the initial mass of the isotope at time t=0 is
The half-life of the isotope is the time it takes for half the mass of the sample to decay, so it is the time t at which the mass will be halved:
We see that this occurs at t = 1.0 min, so the half-life of the isotope is exactly 1.0 min.
