A patient is administered 20 mg of iodine-131. How much of this isotope will remain in the body after 40 days if the half-life f

The formula for half-life is:

A_{final}=A_{initial}(\frac{1}{2})^{\frac{t}{h}}

Where A is the amount of iodine-131 initially and after 40 days, t is time, h is half-life of the isotope.  Let's plug in our values to the equation:

A_{final}=20(\frac{1}{2})^{\frac{40}{8}=0.625g

Therefore, the patient has 0.625 grams of iodine-131 after 40 days.

Air pollution caused by the reaction of nitrogen compounds and other pollutants in the presence of sunlight is
ehidna [41]

Nitrogen oxides play a critical role in photochemical smog. They give the smog its yellowish-brown hue. Indoor residential appliances like gas stoves and gas or wood heaters can be significant emitters of nitrogen oxides in poorly ventilated environments.

  • Nitrogen dioxide (NO₂), ozone (O₃), peroxyacetyl nitrate (PAN), and chemical compounds with the -CHO group are the main harmful elements of photochemical smog (aldehydes). If present in high enough amounts, PAN and aldehydes can harm plants and irritate the eyes.
  • The greatest sources of emissions are power plants, heavy construction equipment driven by diesel, other moveable engines, and industrial boilers. Cars, trucks, and buses are next in line.

Therefore , on conclusion i.e. two gases with molecules consisting of nitrogen and oxygen atoms are nitric oxide (NO) and nitrogen dioxide (NO₂). These nitrogen oxides play a part in the development of smog and acid rain, adding to the issue of air pollution.

a body starts from rest with a uniform acceleration of 2m s-2 find the distance covered by the body in 2s
Evgen [1.6K]
Finding acceleration= final velocity-initial velocity/ time taken (or A= V-U/T)

Final speed= 2m
Initial speed= 0m
Time taken= 2 seconds

2-0/2 so it’ll be 1m/s

2-0=0

A student weighing 700 N climbs at constant speed to the top of an 8 m vertical rope in 10 s. The average power expended by the
Goshia [24]

To solve this problem we will use the concepts related to power, defined as the amount of energy applied over a period of time.

The energy in this case is the accumulated in the form of potential energy, over a period of time. Thus we will have that the mathematical expression of the power can be expressed as

P = \frac{E}{t}

Here,

E = Energy

t = time

As the energy is equal to the potential Energy we have tat

P = \frac{mgh}{t}

The weight (mg) of the man is 700N, the height (h) is 8m and the time is 10s, then:

P = \frac{700*8}{10}

P = 560W

Therefore the correct answer is A.
