Answer:

525 Bq

Explanation:

The decay rate is directly proportional to the amount of radioisotope, so we can use the half-life equation:

A = A₀ (½)^(t / T)

A is the final amount

A₀ is the initial amount,

t is the time,

T is the half life

A = (8400 Bq) (½)^(18.0 min / 4.50 min)

A = (8400 Bq) (½)^4

A = (8400 Bq) (1/16)

A = 525 Bq

How does frequency relate to pitch?

tensa zangetsu [6.8K]

The sensation of a frequency is commonly referred to as the pitch of a sound. A high pitch sound corresponds to a high frequency sound wave and a low pitch sound corresponds to a low frequency sound wave. ... That is, two sound waves sound good when played together if one sound has twice the frequency of the other.

John’s mass is 95.6 kg, and Barbara’s is 55.3 kg. He is standing on the x axis at xJ = +10.9 m, while she is standing on the x a

Answer:Shifted towards Left by distance of 2.243 m

Explanation:

Given

Mass of john $m_1=95.6 kg$

Mass of barbara $m_2=55.3 kg$

John is standing at $x=10.9 m$

Barbara is standing at $x=2.50 m$

$x_{com}=\frac{m_1x_1+m_2x_2}{m_1+m_2}$

$x_{com}=\frac{95.6\times 10.9+55.3\times 2.5}{95.6+55.3}$

$x_{com}=\frac{1180.29}{150.9}$

$x_{com}=7.821 m$

Now if they change their Position then

$x'_{com}=\frac{95.6\times 2.5+55.3\times 10.9}{95.6+55.3}$

$x'_{com}=\frac{841.77}{150.9}$

$x'_{com}=5.578$

Thus we can see that center of mass shifted towards left by a distance of $2.243 m$ because heavier is shifted towards left

During the process of _____, two rails or sides break apart and attract new nucleotide bases to form a new and complete strand.

netineya [11]

Answer: The correct answer for the blank is- Replication.

DNA replication is a biological process in which two identical replica of DNA are produced from single original DNA molecule through an enzyme called as DNA polymerase.

The two strands of double helical DNA are first separated ( with the help of helicase enzyme) so that the template DNA strands are exposed. In other words, the two strands are broken apart and attract new nucleotide bases to synthesize a new and complete strand of DNA.

This is done by DNA polymerase according to Watson and Crick base pairing ( A pairs to T, G pairs to C)
