Answer:

0.005734 s^{-1} and 20.86 seconds are the values of the rate constant and the half-life for this process respectively..

Explanation:

Expression for rate law for first order kinetics is given by:

a_o=a\times e^{-kt}

where,

k = rate constant  

t = age of sample

a_o = let initial amount of the reactant  

a = amount left after decay process  

We have :

a_o=x

a=58\%\times x=0.58x

t = 95 s

0.58x=x\times e^{-k\times 95 s}

\k= 0.005734 s^{-1}

Half life is given by for first order kinetics::

t_{1/2}=\frac{0.693}{k}

=\frac{0.693}{0.005734 s^{-1}}=120.86 s

0.005734 s^{-1} and 20.86 seconds are the values of the rate constant and the half-life for this process respectively..

gulaghasi [49]

Answer:

B

Explanation:

Absolute advantage is the capability of a commercial entity to produce goods using fewer resources compared to rivals. Using the same inputs, an entity with an absolute advantage produces a larger output compared to competitors. It means the firm has a lower marginal cost of production. Therefore, its products will have the lowest prices in the market.

A small mailbag is released from a helicopter that is descending steadily at 3 m/s.
mario62 [17]

<u>Answer:</u>

a) Speed of mailbag after 3 seconds = 32.4 m/s

b) Package is 44.1 meter below helicopter

c) If the helicopter was rising steadily at 3.00 m/s

       Speed of mailbag after 3 seconds = 26.4 m/s

       Package is 44.1 meter below helicopter

<u>Explanation:</u>

a)  We have equation of motion, v = u + at, where v is the final velocity, u is the initial velocity, a is the acceleration and t is the time taken.

   Initial velocity = 3 m/s, acceleration = 9.8 m/s^2 and time = 3 seconds.

   v = 3+9.8*3 = 32.4 m/s

  Speed of mailbag after 3 seconds = 32.4 m/s

b) We have equation of motion , s= ut+\frac{1}{2} at^2, s is the displacement, u is the initial velocity, a is the acceleration and t is the time.

 Velocity of helicopter = 3 m/s, time taken = 3 seconds, acceleration = 0 m/s^2.

    s= 3*3+\frac{1}{2} *0*3^2\\ \\ s=9m

    Distance traveled by helicopter = 9 meter.

 Velocity of package = 3 m/s, time taken = 3 seconds, acceleration = 9.8 m/s^2.

  s= 3*3+\frac{1}{2} *9.8*3^2\\ \\ s= 53.1m

  Distance traveled by package  = 53.1 meter.

So package is (53.1-9)meter below helicopter = 44.1 m

c) Initial velocity = -3 m/s, acceleration = 9.8 m/s^2 and time = 3 seconds.

  v = -3+9.8*3 = 26.4 m/s

  Speed of mailbag after 3 seconds = 26.4 m/s

 Velocity of helicopter = -3 m/s, time taken = 3 seconds, acceleration = 0 m/s^2.

    s= -3*3+\frac{1}{2} *0*3^2\\ \\ s=-9m

    Distance traveled by helicopter = 9 meter.

 Velocity of package = -3 m/s, time taken = 3 seconds, acceleration = 9.8 m/s^2.

  s= -3*3+\frac{1}{2} *9.8*3^2\\ \\ s= 35.1m

  Distance traveled by package  = 35.1 meter.

So package is (35.1+9)meter below helicopter = 44.1 m
