The *independent* variable is the one that you always can control. However, the dependent variables are not since they **depend** on another.
The radon-222 sample has a half-life of 3.8 days, and we are asked how many times would the mass divide in half after 23 days. First we calculate the amount of times division occurs by taking the number of days and dividing that by the number of days for one half-life to occur: 23/3.8 = 6.05.
We have 198.6 grams of sample, and we are going to divide it in half 6 times to determine how much of it remains after 23 days:
198.6/2 = 99.3 grams
99.3/2 = 49.65 grams
49.65/2 = 24.83 grams
24.83/2 = 12.41 grams
12.41/2 = 6.21 grams
6.21/2 = 3.1 grams
Therefore, we are left with 3.1 grams of radon-222 after 23 days if one half-life equals to 3.8 days.
Answer: Potential energy is converted to kinetic energy and back again.
Explanation:At points 1 and 3, the pendulum stops moving, and its mechanical energy is purely potential. At point 2, the pendulum is moving the fastest, and its mechanical energy is purely kinetic. Therefore, as the pendulum moves from point 1 to point 3, its potential energy is first converted to kinetic energy, then back to potential.
Hello!
We know that by the Law of Avogrado, for each mole of substance we have 6.02 * 10²³ atoms, if:
The molar mass of water (H2O)
H = 2 * (1u) = 2u
O = 1 * (16u) = 16u
---------------------------
The molar mass of H2O = 2 + 16 = 18 g / mol
If:
1 mol we have 6.02 * 10²³ atoms
1 mole of H2O we have 18 g
Then we have:
18 g ------------- 6.02 * 10²³ atoms
5 g -------------- x
I Hope this helps, greetings ... DexteR! =)
