Answer:

18 Days

Explanation:

sineoko [7]3 years ago

Answer:

Let N = N0 where N0 is the number of atoms originally present.

In 6 days    N = N0 / 2

In 12 days   N = N0 / 4

In 18 days   N = N0 / 8    = .125 N0

So it would take 18 days.

How quickly a leaf grows is proportional how big [ie the surface area] the leaf is. If the area of the leaf grows from 2cm2 to 3
marusya05 [52]

Answer: 9 days

Explanation:

  • Step 1

Let the rate of Leaf growth <em>r</em> be defined as, \frac{Increase  in  area}{time taken} = \frac{A1 - A}{t}

where <em>A</em> is initial area of the leaf, <em>A1</em> is the final area of the leaf and<em> t</em> is the time taken for the increase in Area.

  • Express the proportional relationship in equation.

Given that rate of leaf growth, r is proportional to the surface area of the leaf A. we have r ∝ A.

r = kA, where k is the rate constant.

therefore, k = \frac{r}{A}

when A = 2cm^{2}, A1 = 3

so k = \frac{\frac{3 - 2}{3}}{2}

= \frac{1}{3} ÷ 2

= 0.33 ÷ 2

k = 0.167

  • After calculating the rate constant k, we then find the time t when A1 is 5cm^{2}
  • we have r = k × A1 = \frac{A1 - A}{t}

so, 0.167 × 2 = \frac{5 - 2}{t}

0.33 = \frac{3}{t}.

t = 3/0.33

Therefore, t = 9 days.

You are given two rectangular blocks of shiny metal, Block A and Block B, and are asked to determine which one will float in a b
vladimir2022 [97]

Answer:

Explanation:

Volume of block A = 10 x 6 x 1 = 60 cm³

Mass of block A = 630 g

density of mass A = mass / density

= 630 / 60 = 10.5g / cm³

Volume of block B = 5 x 5 x 3 = 75 cm³

Mass of block A = 604 g

density of mass A = mass / density

= 604 / 75 = 8.05 g / cm³

Since density of both A and B are less than that of mercury , both will float in mercury.

A car accelerates at a rate of 13m/s^2[S]. If the car's initial velocity is 120km/h[N]. What will be its final velocity in m/s,
balu736 [363]

Answer:

the final velocity of the car is 59.33 m/s [N]

Explanation:

Given;

acceleration of the car, a = 13 m/s²

initial velocity of the car, u = 120 km/h = 33.33 m/s

duration of the car motion, t = 2 s

The final velocity of the car in the same direction is calculated as follows;

v = u + at

where;

v is the final velocity of the car

v = 33.33 + 13 x 2

v = 59.33 m/s [N]

Therefore, the final velocity of the car is 59.33 m/s [N]
