Answer:

d ) 16 years

Explanation:

If n be number of half years passed then

[tex]\frac{m}{m_0} =\sqrt[n]{\frac{1}{2} }[/tex]

m is mass undecayed m₀ is original mass

Here m = 6 g

m₀ =24 g

Putting these values

\frac{6}{24} =\sqrt[n]{\frac{1}{2} }

n = 2 half lives

age = 2 x 8 = 16 years

= 16 years

Anaya Goodloe decides to spike the football after a big touchdown (on Earth) and it
Llana [10]

Answer:

The football leaves with the velocity, u = 15.68 m/s

Explanation:

Given data,

The football bounces back up off the ground and is airborne for, t = 3.2 s

Let the football bounces back up off the ground in the vertical direction

The formula for time of flight is given by,

                              t = 2u /g

∴                             u = gt / 2

Substituting the values,

                               u = 9.8 x 3.2 / 2

                                u = 15.68 m/s

Hence, the football leaves with the velocity, u = 15.68 m/s

A truck accelerates From being stopped to 18 m/s in 5.5 seconds. A bus accelerates from being stopped to 24 m/s in 6.0 seconds.
Mars2501 [29]

Answer:

The bus

Explanation:

a = (v-u)/t  

Where

a = acceleration

v = final velocity

u = initial velocity

t = time taken

For truck to get its acceleration,

a = (18-0)/5.5 = 3.27 ms⁻²

For bus to get its acceleration,

a = (24-0)/6 = 4 ms⁻²

As 4 > 3.27 bus has a greater acceleration.
