Answer:

B) 10.0 g

Explanation:

<u>Given data:</u>

Half life of the radioactive element = t1/2 = 1 hr

Initial amount, N0 = 40.0 g

Time for radioactive decay. t = 2 hr (12 noon  to 2 P.M)

<u>Formula:</u>

The radioactive decay is expressed mathematically as:

N(t) = N(0)e^{\frac{-0.693t}{t1/2} }

where N(t) is the amount of the element left after time t

Substituting the appropriate vales in the above equation we get:

N(t) = 40.0 * e^{\frac{-0.693*2}{1} } = 10.0 g

Nataly [62]

Explanation:

The force of gravity acting on an object is given by :

W = F = mg

Where W is the weight of an object

The force of gravity on house is 300,000 N. The force of gravity pulling down on your house would be exactly twice as much if your house has twice as much as mass because force of gravity is directly depends on mass.

Iteru [2.4K]
Accurate data means the data experimentally obtained are close to the true value. Precise data means the data obtained are close to one another. In this case, the data are close to the true value which is 1.2 and the data are relatively close to one another. Hence the set is both accurate and precise.
