Iodine-131 has a half life of 8 days, so half of it is gone every 8 days.
10 grams of iodine-131 is left for 24 days.
At 8 days: 10/2=5 grams left
At 16 days: 5/2=2.5 grams left
At 24 days: 2.5/2=1.25 grams left.
**
Your mistake is that you stopped at 16 days.

According to recent typical test data, a Ford Focus travels 0.240 mi in 19.3 s, starting from rest. The same car, when braking f
Anit [1.1K]

Answer:

Explanation:

a )

While breaking initial velocity u = 62.5 mph

= 62.5 x 1760 x 3 / (60 x 60 )  ft /s

= 91.66 ft / s

distance trvelled s = 150 ft

v² = u² - 2as

0 = 91.66²  - 2 a x 150

a = - 28 ft / s²

b ) While accelerating initial velocity u = 0

distance travelled s = .24 mi

time = 19.3 s

s = ut + 1/2 at²

s is distance travelled in time t with acceleration a ,

.24 = 0 + 1/2 a x 19.3²

a = .001288 mi/s²

= 2.06 m /s²

c )

If distance travelled s = .25 mi

final velocity v = ? a = .001288 mi / s²

v² = u² + 2as

= 0 + 2 x .001288 x .25

= .000644

v = .025 mi / s

= .0025 x 60 x 60 mi / h

= 91.35 mph .

d ) initial velocity u = 59 mph

= 86.53 ft / s

final velocity = 0

acceleration = - 28 ft /s²

v = u - at

0 = 86.53 - 28 t

t = 3 sec approx .

A 300W hot plate produces 45,000 J of thermal energy while operating for 2 min. What is the efficiency of this devide? it need t
Gekata [30.6K]

Answer:

Explanation: P = 300 W   and t = 2 min = 120 s

Energy Q = Pt = 300 W · 120 s = 36 000 J.

Thus, plate can not produce 45 000 J heat.

Sunlight reflects from a concave piece of broken glass, converging to a point 34 cm from the glass. what is the radius of curvat
wolverine [178]
The rays of light coming from the Sun are parallel to each other, so when they are reflected by the concave piece of glass (which acts as a concave mirror) they converge into the focus of the mirror, which is
f=34 cm
The radius of curvature of a concave mirror is twice its focal length, so in this case it is:
r=2f = 2 \cdot 34 cm=78 cm
