Determine the amount of time for polonium-210 to decay to one fourth its original quantity. The half-life of polonium-210 is 138

days.

Answer: 276 days

Explanation:

This problem can be solved using the Radioactive Half Life Formula:  

A=A_{o}.2^{\frac{-t}{h}} (1)  

Where:  

A=\frac{1}{4}A_{o} is the final amount of the material

A_{o} is the initial amount of the material  

t is the time elapsed  

h=138 days is the half life of polonium-210

Knowing this, let's substitute the values and find t from (1):

\frac{1}{4}A_{o}=A_{o}2^{\frac{-t}{138 days}} (2)  

\frac{A_{o}}{4A_{o}}=2^{\frac{-t}{138 days}} (3)  

\frac{1}{4}=2^{\frac{-t}{138 days}} (4)  

Applying natural logarithm in both sides:

ln(\frac{1}{4})=ln(2^{\frac{-t}{138 days}}) (5)  

-1.386=-\frac{t}{138days}ln(2) (6)  

Clearing t:

t=276days (7)

calculate the momentum of 5.07 kg egg that is dropped from a roof and falls 2 seconds before hitting the ground.
inysia [295]
Anything that's dropped on or near the Earth accelerates at the rate of
9.8 m/s² on its way down.  The mass of the object makes no difference. 
After falling for 2 seconds, it's falling at the rate of 19.6 m/s.

Momentum = (mass) x (speed)

The egg's momentum is   (5.07 kg) x (19.6 m/s) = 99.4 kg-m/s .

Your average speed on the first half of a car trip is 69.0 km/h. How fast do you have to drive on the second half of the trip to
vova2212 [387]

Answer:

13 km/h

Explanation:

Average speed = distance/time

Let the total distance and total time taken for the whole trip be d km and t hours respectively

Average speed for the whole trip = 82 km/h

d = 82t

The distance covered in the first half = d1/2

Time taken = t/2

Average speed = 69 km/h

69 = d1/2 ÷ t/2

d1 = 69t

The distance covered in the second half = d2/2

Time taken = t/2

Let the average sly for the see half be A

A = d2/2 ÷ t/2

d2 = At

d = d1 + d2

82t = 69t + At

At = 82t - 69t

At = 13t

A = 13t/t = 13 km/h

Why is it important to use constants in an experiment?
Firlakuza [10]
<span>In order for the results to be valid, the dependent variable can only be affected by the independent variable, so somethings need to be kept constant. The things that need to be kept constant are called  controlled variables.</span>

Digital art is an artistic work or practice that uses digital technology as part of the creative or presentation process. Since the 1960s, various names have been used to describe the process, including computer art and multimedia art.[1] Digital art is itself placed under the larger umbrella term new media art.[2][3]

After some initial resistance,[4] the impact of digital technology has transformed activities such as painting, drawing, sculpture and music/sound art, while new forms, such as net art, digital installation art, and virtual reality, have become recognized artistic practices.[5] More generally the term digital artist is used to describe an artist who makes use of digital technologies in the production of art. In an expanded sense, "digital art" is contemporary art that uses the methods of mass production or digital media.[6]

The techniques of digital art are used extensively by the mainstream media in advertisements, and by film-makers to produce visual effects. Desktop publishing has had a huge impact on the publishing world, although that is more related to graphic design. Both digital and traditional artists use many sources of electronic information and programs to create their work.[7] Given the parallels between visual and musical arts, it is possible that general acceptance of the value of digital visual art will progress in much the same way as the increased acceptance of electronically produced music over the last three decades.[8]

Digital art can be purely computer-generated (such as fractals and algorithmic art) or taken from other sources, such as a scanned photograph or an image drawn using vector graphics software using a mouse or graphics tablet.[9] Though technically the term may be applied to art done using other media or processes and merely scanned in, it is usually reserved for art that has been non-trivially modified by a computing process (such as a computer program, microcontroller or any electronic system capable of interpreting an input to create an output); digitized text data and raw audio and video recordings are not usually considered digital art in themselves, but can be part of the larger project of computer art and information art.[10] Artworks are considered digital painting when created in similar fashion to non-digital paintings but using software on a computer platform and digitally outputting the
