To answer this question, you need to know the concept of half-life, which is how a radioactive material decreases in mass over time.

The half life of U-235 is 703.8 million years. The first part of this problem is to find the scale factor. To do this, divide the time that has past by the half life, like this:

\frac{750}{703.8}  = 1.066
Now, take this scale factor and multiply it by the current mass, like this:

50 \times 1.066 = 53.3
This number is what you add to the current mass to get the original mass. That is because the scale factor showed us that it was just over one half life. Since after one half life, the mass is cut in half, and this is over one half life, when we add to the original it will be a little over double. This equation illustrates the final addition:

50 + 53.3 = 103.3
I hope this helped you. Fell free to ask any further questions.

Assuming your weight is 440.55 N and the force of gravity on Earth is 9.8 m/s2 what is your mass? *
Alexandra [31]

Answer:

44.95408163 kg

44.95 kg (2 decimal places)

Explanation:

Weight=Mass*Gravity

440.55=m*9.8

Make m the subject

M=440.55/9.8

M= 44.95 kg

Answer:

5446.8 J

Explanation:

From the question given above, the following data were obtained:

Mass (M) = 50 g

Initial temperature (T₁) = 70 °C

Final temperature (T₂) = 192.4 °C

Specific heat capacity (C) = 0.89 J/gºC

Heat (Q) required =?

Next, we shall determine the change in the temperature. This can be obtained as follow:

Initial temperature (T₁) = 70 °C

Final temperature (T₂) = 192.4 °C

Change in temperature (ΔT) =?

ΔT = T₂ – T₁

ΔT = 192.4 – 70

ΔT = 122.4 °C

Finally, we shall determine the heat required to heat up the block of aluminum as follow:

Mass (M) = 50 g

Specific heat capacity (C) = 0.89 J/gºC

Change in temperature (ΔT) = 122.4 °C

Heat (Q) required =?

Q = MCΔT

Q = 50 × 0.89 × 122.4

Q = 5446.8 J

Thus, the heat required to heat up the block of aluminum is 5446.8 J
