A scientist kept 1,000 grams of a radioactive material in a container. After 66 days, he observed that 125 grams of the radioact

ive material was left in the container. Based on the observation, which of these is the most likely inference drawn by the scientist?
Select one:
a. About 500 gram of the material decayed in 33 days.
b. About 500 gram of the material decayed in 44 days.
c. About 62.5 gram of the material will be left in the container after 88 days.
d. About 62.5 gram of the material will be left in the container after 110 days.

The sample appears to have gone through 3 half-lives
1st half life: 1000 to 500 g
2nd half life: 500 to 250 g
3rd half life: 250 to 125 g
The duration of a half-life, therefore, can be inferred to be 66 ÷ (3) = 22 days. 

After a 4th half life, there will be 125÷2= 62.5 g. 
At this point, an additional 22 days will have passed, for a total of 88 days.
Answer is C.

A train 471 m long is moving on a straight track with a speed of 75.1 km/h. The engineer applies the brakes at a crossing, and l
hram777 [196]

Answer:

t = 37.6 s

Explanation:

As we know that train is initially moving with the speed

v_i = 75.1 km/h

now we know that

v_i = 20.86 m/s

now the final speed of the train when it crossed the crossing

v_f = 15 km/h

v_f = 4.17 m/s

now we can use kinematics here

v_f^2 - v_i^2 = 2 a d

4.17^2 - 20.86^2 = 2 a(471)

a = -0.44 m/s^2

Now the time to cross that junction is given as

v_f - v_i = at

4.17 - 20.86 = a(-0.44)

t = 37.6 s
