The half life is 30 minutes.
30 mins- 1/2 left
60 mins- 1/4 left
90 mins- 1/8 left
120 mins- 1/16 left
120 mins= 2 hours

Assoli18 [71]
First, illustrate the problem as shown in the attached picture. Next, let's find the distance traveled by planes A and B after 2.9 h.

Distance of A: 650 m/h * 2.9 h = 1,885 m
Distance of B: 560 m/h * 2.9 h = 1,624 m

Then, we use the cosine law to determine the distance x. The angle should be: 85 - 60.5 = 24.5°

x² = 1,885² + 1,624² - 2(1,885)(1,624)(cos 24.5°)
x = √619381.3183
<em>x = 787 m</em>

To determine an athlete's body fat, she is weighed first in air and then again while she's completely underwater. it is found th
il63 [147K]

The difference in weight is due to the displacement of water (the buoyancy of water is acting on the athlete thus giving her smaller weight).<span>

The amount of weight displaced or the amount of buoyant force is: </span>

Fb = 690 N - 48 N

Fb = 642 N

From newtons law, F = m*g. Using this formula, we can calculate for the mass of water displaced:

m of water displaced = 642N / 9.8m/s^2

m of water displaced = 65.5 kg

Assuming a water density of 1 kg/L, and using the formula volume = mass/density:

V of water displaced = 65.5kg / 1kg/L = 65.5 L

The volume of water displaced is equal to the volume of athlete. Therefore:

V of athlete = 65.5 L

The mass of athlete can also be calculated using, F = m*g

m of athlete = 690 N/ 9.8m/s^2

m of athlete = 70.41 kg

 

Knowing the volume and mass of athlete, her average density is therefore:

average density = 70.41 kg / 65.5 L

<span>average density = 1.07 kg/L = 1.07 g/mL</span>

steposvetlana [31]

Answer:

The force applied to the surface is 9 kilo Newton.

Explanation:

While jumping on the surface the player applies the force that is equal to its weight on the surface.

The mass of the player is given as 90 kg.

Force applied by the player = weight of the player

Force applied by the player = m × g

Where m is the mass of the player and g is acceleration due to gravity

Force applied by the player = 90 × 9.8

Force applied by the player = 882 Newton

Expressing your answer to one significant figure, we get

Force applied by the player =0. 9 kilo Newton

The force applied to the surface is 0.9 kilo Newton.
