"In a bad late-night science fiction film, a villain is using a large collection of radioactive atoms as energy for a weapon to

threaten the good guys. The atoms have a half-life of 1 hour. The villain has 4 kilograms of the radioactive material now, and he needs a minimum of 1 kg. for his weapon to work. After how much time will the weapon no longer be a threat?"

Answer:

t=1.4hours

Explanation:

The half life is 1hour

At t=0 he has a mass of 4kg

So he want it to be 1kg, so that his weapon can work.

Applying the exponential function of decay

M=Cexp(-kt)

Where,

M is the mass at any time

C is a constant of integration

k is the rate of decay

Given that it has an half life of 1 hours.

Then k is 1

At t =0 the mass is 4kg

Therefore

4=Cexp(0)

C=4

M=4exp(-kt)

Since rate of decay is 1, then k=1

M=4exp(-t)

We need to find t at M=1kg

1=4exp(-t)

1=4exp(-t)

1/4=exp(-t)

0.25=exp(-t)

Take In of both sides

In(0.25)=-t

-1.3863=-t

Then, t=1.386hour

Then it will take about 1.4 hours to get to 1kg.

What are 4 physical properties for the bear
Pie

Answer:

A bear normally has a short, thick neck, a rounded head, a pointed muzzle, short ears, and small eyes. Some species have round faces. Bears have poor eyesight, and most have only fair hearing.

Explanation:

Modern Bears are characterized with large body and stocky legs, a long snout, shaggy hair, plantigrade paws with five non-retractile claws and a short tail.

Grizzly bears (Ursus arctos horribilis) have concave faces, a distinctive hump on their shoulders, and long claws about two to four inches long. Both the hump and the claws are traits associated with a grizzly bear's exceptional digging ability. Grizzlies are often dark brown, but can vary from blonde to nearly black.

The brown bear has a slight hump above its shoulder, round ears, a long snout and big paws with long, curved claws that it uses for digging. Unlike the black bear, it can't climb trees. It can weigh between 350-1,500 pounds. When standing on its hind legs it can be up to 5 feet tall.

Hope this helps     :)

(I didn't know which type of bear so i did brown bear and grizzly bear)

Describe what happens to the system inside of a refrigerator or freezer in terms of heat transfer, work, and conservation of ene
Over [174]

Answer: A. Work is done on the system and heat is transferred from the system for a net decrease in internal energy.

Explanation:

A refrigerator is a device which dispenses heat from the close system to a warmer area or in the surrounding. By dispensing the heat the internal temperature of the refrigerator drops. The system of refrigerator violates the second law of thermodynamics. As it performs the work to cool the region instead of heating the region. The work is done on the system and the internal energy decreases and the heat energy is liberated to the surrounding area. A refrigerator is an open system.
