Halflife is the time taken by a radioactive substance by half its original mass. In this case the half life of the substance is 3 hours. 
Therefore; New mass = Original mass × (1/2)^n where n is the number of half lives. In this case, the half life is 3 hours and therefore; the number of half lives in 6 hours will be two.
 = if the original mass is 100%
new mass = 100 × (1/2)^2
                 = 100 × 1/4 = 25%
The remaining mass will be 1/4 of the original mass, meaning  a fraction of 3/4 of the  initial mass will have decayed.
Thus; the answer is 3/4

A sample of gold has a volume of 2 cm3 and a mass of 38.6 grams. What would be the density, and three other properties of the sa
lukranit [14]

The density of the gold is calculated to be "19,300 kg/m³".

<u>Explanation:</u>

Given:

Volume = 2cm³

Mass = 38.6 grams.

To Find:

Density of the gold = ?

Solution:

Density is obtained by dividing mass of the sample by its volume and it is given in the units of kg/m³.

Mass in grams is converted into kg as,

1 g = 0.001 kg

38. 6 g = \frac{38.6}{1000} = 0.0386 kg

Now we have to convert cm³ to m³ as,

1 cm³ = 10⁻⁶ m³

2 cm³ = 2 × 10⁻⁶ m³

So Density = \frac{0.0386 k g}{2 \times 10^{-6} m^{3}}=19,300 \mathrm{kg} / \mathrm{m}^{3}

Physical properties of Gold:

  • Gold is a heavy metal.
  • It is Malleable and ductile.
  • It is a corrosion resistant element.

an object has a mass of 50kg, a final height of 20m and an initial height of 8m. what is the amount of work done
Andrei [34K]

amount of work done is 5880 J

Given:

mass of object = 50kg

Final height = 20m

initial height = 8m

To Find:

amount of work done

Solution:

work is done when a force acts upon an object to cause a displacement. You can calculate the energy transferred, or work done, by multiplying the force by the distance moved in the direction of the force.

The work done by gravity is given by the formula,

W = mgh

W = 50 x 9.8 x ( 20-8)

= 5880 J

So the work done is 5880 J

I was having trouble with this problem, and problems like it: A 3.2 kg pelican, with a 1.73 kg fish in its mouth, is flying 1.52
Oduvanchick [21]

Answer:

28.1 m/s

Explanation:

u_x = Initial velocity of the fish = 1.52 m/s

y = Height of the bird = 40 m

a_y = Acceleration in y axis = 9.81\ \text{m/s}^2

u_y = Initial velocity in y axis = 0

y=u_yt+\dfrac{1}{2}a_yt^2\\\Rightarrow 40=0+\dfrac{1}{2}\times 9.81t^2\\\Rightarrow t=\sqrt{\dfrac{40\times 2}{9.81}}\\\Rightarrow t=2.86\ \text{s}

v_y=u_y+a_yt\\\Rightarrow v_y=0+9.81\times 2.86\\\Rightarrow v_y=28.057\ \text{m/s}

The final velocity in x direction will remain the same as the initial velocity as there is no acceleration in the x direction u_x=v_x=1.52\ \text{m/s}

Resultant velocity is given by

v=\sqrt{v_x^2+v_y^2}\\\Rightarrow v=\sqrt{1.52^2+28.057^2}\\\Rightarrow v=28.1\ \text{m/s}

The fish is moving at a velocity of 28.1 m/s when it hits the water.

The length of a planet's day is determined by it's
MatroZZZ [7]

Answer: "People will say the length of a day is determined by just the rotation rate of a planet, but that isn’t entirely true. The orbit around its sun also factors in. What we define as a day is the time between when the Sun is highest in the sky until the next time the Sun is at the highest point in the sky. This isn’t just the time it takes the Earth to rotate once on its axis, though. This is because, as the Earth is rotating, it’s also moving relative to the Sun"
