Answer:

Explanation:

Argon to potassium ratio after 1 half life = 1:1

After 2 half lives = 75/25= 3:1

After 3 half lives = 87.5/12.5= 7:1

After 4 half lives = 93.75/6.25 = 15:1

After 5 half lives = 96.875/3.125 = 31/1

MAVERICK [17]

Answer:

a)3312 x 10⁴ J

b)I = 57.5 A

c)9200 W

Explanation:

Given that

P =4600 W

Time t= 2 h = 2 x 3600 s= 7200 s

We know that

1 W = 1 J/s

a)

Energy stored in the battery = P .t

                                              =4600 x 7200 J

                                            =3312 x 10⁴ J

b)

We know that power P given as

P = V .I

V=Voltage  ,I =Current

4600 = 80 x I

I = 57.5 A

c)

The energy supplied = 4600 x 2 = 9200 W
