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 0.5 m3 container is filled with a fluid whose specific volume is 0.001 m3/kg. At standard gravitational acceleration, the cont
xenn [34]

Answer: the contents of this container weighs 4905 kg.m/s²

Explanation:

Given that;

volume of a container V = 0.5 m³

we know that standard gravitational acceleration g = 9.81 m/s²

specific volume of liquid filled in the container v = 0.001 m³/kg

now we express the equation for weight of the container.

W = mg

W = (pV)g

W = Vg / ν

so we substitute

W =  (0.5 m³)(9.81 m/s ) / 0.001 m³/kg

W = 4.905 / 0.001

W = 4905 kg.m/s²

Therefore, the contents of this container weighs 4905 kg.m/s²

Sophie [7]

Answer:

All the competitors will move with the same velocity.

Explanation:

Here, the situations for each competitor are identical. Thus, they will exert the same force and hence, their velocities at each instants will be identical.

A 56 kg astronaut stands on a bathroom scale inside a rotating circular space station. The radius of the space station is 250 m.
Zielflug [23.3K]

Answer:

The speed of space station floor is 49.49 m/s.

Explanation:

Given that,

Mass of astronaut = 56 kg

Radius = 250 m

We need to calculate the speed of space station floor

Using centripetal force and newton's second law

F=mg

\dfrac{mv^2}{r}=mg

\dfrac{v^2}{r}=g

v=\sqrt{rg}

Where, v = speed of space station floor

r = radius

g = acceleration due to gravity

Put the value into the formula

v=\sqrt{250\times9.8}

v=49.49\ m/s

Hence, The speed of space station floor is 49.49 m/s.
