Answer:

1.07 g

Explanation:

Half-life of Pu-234 = 4.98 hours

Initially present = 45 g

mass remains after 27 hours = ?

Solution:

Formula

         mass remains = 1/ 2ⁿ (original mass) ……… (1)

Where “n” is the number of half lives

To find "n" for 27 hours

                          n = time passed / half-life . . . . . . . .(2)

put values in equation 2

                          n = 27 hr / 4.98 hr

                          n = 5.4

Mass after 27 hr

Put values in equation 1

          mass remains = 1/ 2ⁿ (original mass)

          mass remains = 1/ 2^5.4 (45 g)

          mass remains = 1/ 42.2 (45 g)

          mass remains =  0.0237 x 45 g

          mass remains =  1.07 g

If the acceleration is 600 m/s/s and the mass is 300 kg, what force is acting on the object?
vampirchik [111]

Explanation:

Acceleration (a) = 600 m/s²

Mass (m) = 300 kg

Force (F) = ?

We know

F = m * a

= 300 * 600

=180000 Newton

The force acting on the object is 18000 Newton.

Gemiola [76]
We know that domestic dogs are descended from wolves. Exactly when and how this occurred is still being studied; many experts indicate that dogs were first domesticated about 12,000 years ago, but a few DNA studies indicate a much earlier date for the split between the wolf and the dog, perhaps as long ago as 130,000 years. Regardless of the exact timing of the divergence between wolves and dogs, one thing is true: both species display quite a bit of genetic diversity, particularly in size and coloration.In order to breed a dog of a specific size, all one has to do is choose parents with the appropriate variations. For instance, if you want to create a small dog breed, you would just breed the smallest dogs you have, then you would choose their smallest offspring to breed the next generation, and so on until you have reached the desired size.

Chemists use activity series to determine whether which type of reaction will occur?
ruslelena [56]
Single replacement reactions.  For example copper is more reactive than silver.  So a copper wire in a silver solution will cause the silver to become a metal again.
