Answer:

4.5 g

Explanation:

N0 = 36 g, Let half life is T.

t = 3 T, n is number of half lives = t / T = 3

By using the decay law of radioactivity

N / N0 = (1 / 2)^n

where, N0 be the initial amount

N be the amount left

n be the number of half lives

N / 36 = (1/2)^3

N / 36 = 1 / 8

N = 36 / 8 = 4.5 g

topjm [15]
Centripetal force is defined as, "the force that is necessary to keep an object moving in a curved path and that is directed inward toward the center of rotation," while centrifugal force is defined as "the apparent force that is felt by an object moving in a curved path that acts outwardly away from the center of rotation," according to Merriam Webster Dictionary.

Describe the importance of the neutron in a atomic nuclei ​
RUDIKE [14]

Neutrons are required for the stability of nuclei, with the exception of the single-proton hydrogen nucleus. Neutrons are produced copiously in nuclear fission and fusion. They are a primary contributor to the nucleosynthesis of chemical elements within stars through fission, fusion, and neutron capture processes.

Hope it helps!
