Answer: half life

Explanation: Radioactive decay follows first order kinetics and the time required for the decay of a radioactive material is calculated as follows:

t=\frac{2.303}{k}\hspace{1mm}log\frac{x}{a}

t= time required

k= disintegration constant

x= amount of substance left after time t

a= initial amount of substance

when one half of the sample is decayed, one half of the sample remains and t can be represented as t_{1/2}

at t= t_{1/2}, x=\frac{a}{2}

t_{1/2}=\frac{2.303}{k}\hspace{1mm}log\frac{a/2}{a}

t_{1/2}=\frac{0.693}{k}

How many neutrons does element X have if its atomic number is 30 and its mass number is 70?
Yanka [14]
The answer is 40.

We can solve this by finding out the number of protons, and neutrons. Atomic number of an element means the number of protons in that element. So, the atom has 30 protons if the atomic number is 30.

On the other hand, mass number is the total number of protons and neutrons, but not electrons, because they're too light comparing to the other 2. Therefore, we can simply solve the number of neutrons in the atom by subtracting the number of protons from the mass number. 70 - 30 = 40.

Therfore, the number of neutrons is 40.

A box with a mass of 3.5 kg is pushed along a table. If the net force on the box is 35 Newtons, what is the acceleration of the
Vesnalui [34]

Answer:

<h2>10 m/s²</h2>

Explanation:

The acceleration of an object given it's mass and the force acting on it can be found by using the formula

a =  \frac{f}{m}  \\

m is the mass

f is the force

From the question

mass = 3.5 kg

force = 35 N

We have

a =  \frac{35}{3.5}  \\  = 10

We have the final answer as

<h3>10 m/s²</h3>

Hope this helps you
