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

Using the equation for decay, calculate the amount left of a radioactive sample amount N0 if the decay constant is 0.00125 secon
makkiz [27]

The amount left of a radioactive sample amount N0 if the decay constant is 0.00125 seconds and the time is 180 seconds is 0.7999 N.

<h3>What is half-life?</h3>

The time it takes for half of the original population of radioactive atoms to decay is called the half-life. The relationship between the half-life T1/2 and the decay constant is given by T1/2 = 0.693/λ.

  1. N=N0e−λt
  2. given λ = 0.00125 seconds
  3. t = 180 seconds
  4. Now putting values.
  5. N=N0e−λt = 0.799
  6. N= 0.7999.

A rubber ball and a lump of clay have equal mass. They are thrown with equal speed against a wall. The ball bounces back with ne
gregori [183]

Answer:

The ball experiences the greater momentum change

Explanation:

The momentum change of each object is given by:

\Delta p = m \Delta v= m (v-u)

where

m is the mass of the object

v is the final velocity

u is the initial velocity

Both objects have same mass m and same initial velocity u. So we have:

- For the ball, the final velocity is

v=-u

Since it bounces back (so, opposite direction --> negative sign) with same speed (so, the magnitude of the final velocity is still u). So the change in momentum is

\Delta p=m(v-u)=m((-u)-u)=-2mu

- For the clay, the final velocity is

v=0

since it sticks to the wall. So, the change in momentum is

\Delta p = m(v-u)=m(0-u)=-mu

So we see that the greater momentum change (in magnitude) is experienced by the ball.

A finch rides on the back of a Galapagos tortoise, which walks at the stately pace of 0.060 m/s. After 1.1 minutes, the finch ti
Romashka [77]

Answer:

Average Speed = 6.37 m/s

Explanation:

The average speed is simply given by the following formula:

Average Speed = Total Distance Traveled/Total Time Spent

here,

Total Time Spent = 1.1 min + 1.5 min = (2.6 min)(60 s/min) = 156 s

Now, for total distance, we have to calculate the distance traveled on tortoise and distance traveled while flying, separately. Therefore,

Distance Traveled on Tortoise = (Time spent on Tortoise)(Speed of Tortoise)

Distance Traveled on Tortoise = (1.1 min)(60 s/min)(0.06 m/s) = 3.96 m

Similarly,

Flying Distance = (Flying Time)(Flying Speed) = (1.5 min)(60 s/min)(11 m/s)

Flying Distance =  990 m

Since, total distance is the sum of both distances, therefore,

Total Distance = 3.96 m + 990 m = 993.96 m

Now, using the values in equation of average speed, we get:

Average Speed = 993.96 m/156 s

<u>Average Speed = 6.37 m/s</u>

Calculate the kinetic energy in joules of a 1200 kg automobile moving at 18 m/s .
vodka [1.7K]

Answer:

194,400 joules of kinetic energy.

Explanation:

Remember that to calculate the Kinetic energy you need to use the next formula:

Ke=\frac{1}{2}Mass*Velocity^2

We know that Mass= 1200 kg and velocity is 18m/s, so we insert those values into the formula:

Ke=\frac{1}{2}Mass*Velocity^2\\Ke=\frac{1}{2}1200kg*(18m/s)^2\\Ke=194,400 joules

So the kinetic energy of a car moving at 18m/s with a mass of 1200 kg would be 194,400 joules.
