Answer:

osmosis

Explanation:

osmosis is the movement of solvent materials through a semi permeable membrane into a region of solute concentration, therefore water moving through a membrane is an osmotic process.

A radioactive material has a count rate of 400 per minute. It has a half life of 40 years. How long will it take to decay to a r

cestrela7 [59]

Answer:

160 years.

Explanation:

From the question given above, the following data were obtained:

Initial count rate (Cᵢ) = 400 count/min

Half-life (t½) = 40 years

Final count rate (Cբ) = 25 count/min

Time (t) =?

Next, we shall determine the number of half-lives that has elapse. This can be obtained as follow:

Initial count rate (Cᵢ) = 400 count/min

Final count rate (Cբ) = 25 count/min

Number of half-lives (n) =?

Cբ = 1/2ⁿ × Cᵢ

25 = 1/2ⁿ × 400

Cross multiply

25 × 2ⁿ = 400

Divide both side by 25

2ⁿ = 400/25

2ⁿ = 16

Express 16 in index form with 2 as the base

2ⁿ = 2⁴

n = 4

Thus, 4 half-lives has elapsed.

Finally, we shall determine the time taken for the radioactive material to decay to the rate of 25 counts per minute. This can be obtained as follow:

Half-life (t½) = 40 years

Number of half-lives (n) = 4

Time (t) =?

n = t / t½

4 = t / 40

Cross multiply

t = 4 × 40

t = 160 years.

Thus, it will take 160 years for the radioactive material to decay to the rate of 25 counts per minute.

Problem:

Mars2501 [29]

I do have a couple ideas and tips that may help you win. I don’t know how the guidelines are set up so if the ideas won’t be helpful I apologize.

First off put some ice cubes in the container then sprinkle salt on them, The reaction will create an effect and be super cold.

Another idea would be to get some dry ice if you able to, This will freeze it solid within seconds.

The last idea combines the the first. Take a bowl and fill it with with water and ice (Make sure the bowl is insulated) add a small handful of salt into the bowl, Put your drink into the cooler and before shutting stir then well then close and wait for the amount of time left, Your should have a cold water bottle.

I hoped this helped you out and I hope you also win the contest.

As air is heated, the particles speed up and spread out (becoming less dense). Hot air balloon pilots can change the balloon’s a

Jobisdone [24]

Answer:

Turn the heater on

Explanation:

There are two main forces involved in a balloon flight

The downward force is the total weight of the balloon: the air it contains, the gas bag, the basket, the passengers, etc.

The upward force is the weight of the of the air the balloon displaces.

During level flight ,

buoyant force = weight of displaced air - total weight of balloon

If you increase the temperature of the air in the bag, the air molecules spread out and leave through the bottom of the bag.

The balloon still has the same volume, so the weight of displaced outside air stays the same.

However, the balloon has lost some hot inside air, so its total weight decreases.

The upward force is greater than the downward force, so the balloon rises.

What does a curved gradient line in a distance-time graph represent?

GREYUIT [131]

Answer:

If the line is curved, the slope is changing, which also means the velocity is changing. In a distance-time graph, the gradient of the line is equal to the speed of the object. The more the gradient (and the steeper the line) the faster the object is moving.
