Answer:

48 hours

Explanation:

Using the formula,

R/R' = 2ᵃ/ᵇ..................... Equation 1

Where R = Original amount, R' = Radioactive remain, a = Total time, b = half life.

Given: b = 24 hours,

Let: R = X, then R' = X/4.

Substitute into equation 1

X/(X/4) = 2ᵃ/²⁴

4 = 2ᵃ/²⁴

2² = 2ᵃ/²⁴

Equating the base and solving for a

2 = a/24

a = 24×2

a = 48 hours.

Hence the time = 48 hours

Two​ vehicles, a car and a​ truck, leave an intersection at the same time. the car heads east at an average speed of 50 miles pe
olya-2409 [2.1K]

The car heads east at an average speed of 50 miles per​ hour from the intersection point towards East. The truck heads east at an average speed of 60 miles per​ hour from the intersection point towards South.

The distance of car from the intersection point after t hours is 50t.

The distance of truck from the intersection point after t hours is 60t.

Since these distances are perpendicular to each other, distance apart d​ (in miles) at the end of t hours is

d=\sqrt{(50t)^2+(60t)^2} \\ d=10\sqrt{61} t\\ d=78.1t

Thus the distance apart is d=78.1t \;miles

lisov135 [29]

Answer:

-58.876 kJ

Explanation:

m = mass of air = 1 kg

T₁ = Initial temperature = 15°C

T₂ = Final temperature = 97°C

Cp = Specific heat at constant pressure = 1.005 kJ/kgk

Cv = Specific heat at constant volume = 0.718 kJ/kgk

W = Work done

Q = Heat = 0 (since it is not mentioned we are considering adiabatic condition)

ΔU = Change in internal energy

Q = W+ΔU

⇒Q = W+mCvΔT

⇒0 = W+mCvΔT

⇒W = -mCvΔT

⇒Q = -1×0.718×(97-15)

⇒Q = -58.716 kJ

A metal container with the oil weigh
MA_775_DIABLO [31]

Answer:

16 kg

Explanation:

M - container

m - oil mass

by definition of density ,

relative density is the ratio of the density of a substance to the density of water.

relative density = density/ density of water

density of oil = 1.2*1000 kgm⁻³  = 1200 kgm⁻³

1 Litre =10⁻³ m³

oil volume = 80 *10⁻³ m³

mass of oil = density * volume

                   = 1200*80*10⁻³

                   = 96 kg

Mass of container + mass of  oil =112

mass of container = 112 - 96

                              = 16 kg
