Answer:

0.15625 grams

Explanation:

Half life: It is related to the decay of radioactive material. The duration in which  half of the material will be degraded/decayed. That means after half life 50% of the radioactive material will be left. Here the half life is 28 years.

Initial quantity of the sample: 2.5 grams.

After 28 years, the leftover quantity = 1.25 grams

After 56 years, the leftover quantity = 0.625 grams

After 84 Years, the leftover quantity = 0.3125 grams

After 112 years, the leftover quantity = 0.15625 grams

A massless, hollow sphere of radius R is entirely filled with a fluid such that its density is p. This same hollow sphere is now
Vesnalui [34]

Answer:

a. 8p

Explanation:

We are given that

Radius of hollow sphere , R1=R

Density of hollow sphere=\rho

After compress

Radius of hollow sphere, R2=R/2

We have to find density of the compressed sphere.

We know that

Density=\frac{mass}{volume}

Mass=Density\times volume=Constant

Therefore,\rho_1 V_1=\rho_2V_2

Volume of sphere=\frac{4}{3}\pi r^3

Using the formula

\rho\times \frac{4}{3}\pi R^3=\rho_2\times \frac{4}{3}\pi (R/2)^3

\rho R^3=\rho_2\times \frac{R^3}{8}

\rho_2=8\rho

Hence, the density of  the compressed sphere=8\rho

Option a is correct.
