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

PLS HELP How much power is used if an athlete lives a 100n Weight up 5m in 20 seconds
BlackZzzverrR [31]

Answer:

25J

Explanation:

power = work done ÷ time taken.

and work done = force applied × distance covered.

according to the question, the athlete lifts the weight of 100N upto 5m therefore;

100N × 5m = 500N/m

then onwards,

the work done (500 N/m) should be divided by the time taken to calculate the power,

500 ÷ 20s = 25J

is your answer.

hope this helped. :)
