If you have 10.0 g of a substance that decays with a half-life of 14 days, then how much will you have after 42 days?

1 answer:

6 0

The formula for the mass that remains:
$m=m_0 \times (\frac{1}{2})^\frac{t}{T}$
m₀ - the initial mass, t - time, T - the half-life

$m_0=10 \ g \\
T=14 \ d \\
t=42 \ d \\ \\
m=10 \times (\frac{1}{2})^\frac{42}{14}=10 \times (\frac{1}{2})^3=10 \times \frac{1}{8}=10 \times 0.125=1.25$

The answer is c. 1.25 g.

Gwar [14]

Answer:

- 670 kg.m/s

Explanation:

Newton's third law states that to every action, there is equal and opposite reaction force. Since the force will be same but different in direction and acted in the same time then the impulses ( force multiply by time) of the two car be same in magnitude but different in direction - 670 kg.m/s

A wire of radius R has a current I uniformly distributed across its cross-sectional area. Ampere's law is used with a concentric

MrMuchimi

Answer:

Please refer to the figure.

Explanation:

The crucial point here is to calculate the enclosed current. If the current I is flowing through the whole cross-sectional area of the wire, the current density is

$J = \frac{I}{\pi R^2}$

The current density is constant for different parts of the wire. This idea is similar to that of the density of a glass of water is equal to the density of a whole bucket of water.

So,

$J = \frac{I}{\pi R^2} = \frac{I_{enc}}{\pi r^2}\\I_{enc} = \frac{Ir^2}{R^2}$

This enclosed current is now to be used in Ampere’s Law.

$\mu_o I_{enc} = \int {B} \, dl$

Here, $\int \, dl$ represents the circular path of radius r. So we can replace the integral with the circumference of the path, $2\pi r$ .

As a result, the magnetic field is

$B = \frac{\mu_0}{2\pi}\frac{Ir}{R^2}$

• A flame always points upwards. Why do you think this is so?

valina [46]

Answer:

A flame always point upwards because the flame's gas is hotter than the surrounding air and, like you said, a hot gas is always lighter or less dense than a cold gas.

8. When you see a stopped local bus (1 point)

elena55 [62]

Answer: be alert for pedestrians near the bus.

Explanation: Due to road accidents many Governments around the world has adopted and put in place certain rules and regulations with regards to road safety, this is so to prevent the or reduce the chances of accidents happening.

Road safety rules are rules and guidelines put in place by Government in order to prevent road accidents and maintain a free flow of traffic. An example of such rules is 'be alert for pedestrians near the bus ' when approaching a local bus that is stopped.
