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

Heat rash is caused by chemical exposure Truth or false
Harrizon [31]

Answer:

This is false.

Explanation:

Heat rash develops when some of your sweat ducts clog. Instead of evaporating, perspiration gets trapped beneath the skin, causing inflammation and rash. Heat rash is usually self-limited, meaning it resolves on its own without treatment. Over-the-counter treatments such as calamine, hydrocortisone cream, itch preparations (such as Benadryl spray), or sunburn lotions can be used as skincare to treat the itching and burning symptoms. Heat rash usually goes away on its own within three or four days so long as you don't irritate the site further. Heat rash happens when the sweat glands get blocked. The trapped sweat irritates the skin and leads to small bumps.

A small convex mirror is placed 60 cm from the pole and on the axis of a large concave mirror of radius of curvature 200 cm. The
umka2103 [35]

Answer:

Calculate 'R' of convex mirror and height of the real image

the radius of the convex mirror is 48cm

Explanation:

Distance between convex and concave mirror is =60cm

Radius of the concave mirror (R) = 200cm

For the concave mirror, u = ∞

V = {R}/{2}=100cm

The object for the convex mirror and the final image is on the pole of the concave mirror, and distance between convex and concave mirror is 60cm

u_1=60-100 =-40cm

Object will be behind the convex mirror

1/f=1/40+1/60  

f=24cms

the radius of the convex mirror is 48cm

If the coefficient of kinetic friction between tires and dry pavement is 0.84, what is the shortest distance in which you can st
liberstina [14]

Answer:

The shortest distance in which you can stop the automobile by locking the brakes is 53.64 m

Explanation:

Given;

coefficient of kinetic friction, μ = 0.84

speed of the automobile, u = 29.0 m/s

To determine the  the shortest distance in which you can stop an automobile by locking the brakes, we apply the following equation;

v² = u² + 2ax

where;

v is the final velocity

u is the initial velocity

a is the acceleration

x is the shortest distance

First we determine a;

From Newton's second law of motion

∑F = ma

F is the kinetic friction that opposes the motion of the car

-Fk = ma

but, -Fk = -μN

-μN = ma

-μmg = ma

-μg = a

- 0.8 x 9.8 = a

-7.84 m/s² = a

Now, substitute in the value of a in the equation above

v² = u² + 2ax

when the automobile stops, the final velocity, v = 0

0 = 29² + 2(-7.84)x

0 = 841 - 15.68x

15.68x = 841

x = 841 / 15.68

x = 53.64 m

Thus, the shortest distance in which you can stop the automobile by locking the brakes is 53.64 m
