A decrease in the magnitude of velocity is called

IceJOKER [234]

The answer is deceleration. Acceleration is the general term to refer to the change in velocity. Acceleration = change in velocity / change in time. When you want to highlight the fact that the change in velocity is a decrease in the magnitude, you can use the term deceleration, which means that the acceleration is negative.

If we start with 1.000 g of strontium-90, 0.805 g will remain after 9.00 yr. This means that the of strontium-90 is ________ yr.

lesantik [10]

The question is incomplete, here is the complete question.

If we start with 1.000 g of strontium-90, 0.805 g will remain after 9.00 yr. This means that the half-life of strontium-90 is ________ yr.

a. 28.8 b. 30.9 c. 35.4 d. 32.2

Answer : The half-life of strontium-90 is 28.8 years.

Explanation :

This is a type of radioactive decay and all radioactive decays follow first order kinetics.

First we have to calculate the rate constant.

Expression for rate law for first order kinetics is given by :

$k=\frac{2.303}{t}\log\frac{a}{a-x}$

where,

k = rate constant

t = time taken for decay process = 9.00 year

a = initial amount or moles of the reactant = 1.000 g

a - x = amount or moles left after decay process = 0.805 g

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$k=\frac{2.303}{9.00}\log\frac{1.00}{0.805}$

$k=0.0241\text{ year}^{-1}$

To calculate the half-life, we use the formula :

$k=\frac{0.693}{t_{1/2}}$

$0.0241\text{ year}^{-1}=\frac{0.693}{t_{1/2}}$

$t_{1/2}=28.8\text{ years}$

Therefore, the half-life of strontium-90 is 28.8 years.

What types of volcanic landforms occur at divergent plate boundaries

DochEvi [55]

In divergent boundaries deep ocean trenches form due to the 2 plates pulling apart. the plate in the middle gets stretched thinner and thinner as it submerges into the sea until enough pressure causes magma to erupt from it. when the magma erupts new sea floor is created

The particles of a gas inside a balloon are experiencing an increase in the average kinetic energy and the number of collisions

Sever21 [200]

Answer:

1. Higher gas pressure inside the balloon.

Explanation:

An increase in the average kinetic energy and the number of collisions represents increases on gas temperature and pressure inside the ballon. Hence, the answer is 1.

Elemental boron is produced in one industrial process by heating diboron trioxide with magnesium metal, also producing magnesium

Maksim231197 [3]

Answer is: B₂O₃ + Mg → B + MgO.
B₂O₃ + 3Mg → 2B + 3MgO, balanced.
B₂O₃ - diboron trioxide. White, glassy solid compound.
B - boron. Metalloid, crystalline boron is and amorphous boron is a brown powder.
Mg - magnesium. Shiny, gray and solid metal.
MgO - magnesium oxide. White, hygroscopic solid powder.
