What was the basic shortcoming of the Greek philosophers approach to studying the material world?

<span>Greek philosophers had a basic approach to studying the world. They like to question the world and incite debates but they never really bothered to gather any real information, just discussions. Due to this, many ideas about matters were put out to be discussed, but they were never resolved.</span>

8. Three grams of Bismuth-218 decay to 0.375 grams in one hour. What is the half-

Evgen [1.6K]

Answer: 0.333 h

Explanation:

This problem can be solved using the <u>Radioactive Half Life Formula</u>:

$A=A_{o}.2^{\frac{-t}{H}}$ (1)

Where:

$A=0.375 g$ is the final amount of the material

$A_{o}=3 g$ is the initial amount of the material

$t=1 h$ is the time elapsed

$H$ is the half life of the material (the quantity we are asked to find)

Knowing this, let's substitute the values and find $h$ from (1):

$0.375 g=(3 g)2^{\frac{-1h}{H}}$ (2)

$\frac{0.375 g}{3 g}=2^{\frac{-1h}{H}}$ (3)

Applying natural logarithm in both sides:

$ln(\frac{0.375 g}{3 g})=ln(2^{\frac{-1 h}{H}})$ (4)

$-2.079=-\frac{1 h}{H}ln(2)$ (5)

Clearing $H$ :

$H=\frac{-1h}{-2.079}(0.693)$ (6)

Finally:

$h=0.333 h$ This is the half-life of the Bismuth-218 isotope

Light bulb 1 operates with a filament temperature of 2700 K whereas light bulb 2 has a filament temperature of 2100 K. Both fila

Lemur [1.5K]

Answer:

0.3659

Explanation:

The power (p) is given as:

P = AeσT⁴

where,

A =Area

e = transmittivity

σ = Stefan-boltzmann constant

T = Temperature

since both the bulbs radiate same power

P₁ = P₂

Where, 1 denotes the bulb 1

2 denotes the bulb 2

thus,

A₁e₁σT₁⁴ = A₂e₂σT₂⁴

Now e₁=e₂

⇒A₁T₁⁴ = A₂T₂⁴

or

$\frac{A_1}{A_2} =\frac{T_{2}^{4}}{T_{1}^{4}}$

substituting the values in the above question we get

$\frac{A_1}{A_2} =\frac{2100_{2}^{4}}{2700_{1}^{4}}$

or

$\frac{A_1}{A_2} }$ =0.3659

larisa [96]

Answer:

B, C, F

Explanation:

B: Sugar can be separated from the water by evaporating the water. This will leave large chunks of sugar.

C: Sugar gets spread out among the water.

F: Sugar water is a homogeneous <u>mixture. </u>Can't see the individual components because of the dissolving.

Hoped this helped! :)

The speed of light inside a medium is (2.0 x 10^8m/s) What is the index of refraction (n) of the medium?

kondor19780726 [428]

Answer:

Refractive index of a medium = Speed of light in vacuum/Speed of light in a medium

1.5 = 3 x 108 / Speed of light in medium

Speed of light in the medium = 3 x 108 /1.5

= 2 x 108 m/s.
