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.

Compare wave A with wave B correctly in relation to amplitude.
olga nikolaevna [1]
We know for a fact that D and A can be eliminated from the answer choices because those are both false. we know that both B and C are both very accurate knowing that wave B does have a higher pitch than wave A but also wave A has a louder sound wave than wave B. so i'd say the answer is (C).

All stars go through a lifecycle.
Komok [63]

Mira is much bigger than the Sun.

Only very massive stars will go through a supernova stage, causing the outer layer to explode away and the core to collapse in on itself, becoming very dense.

A particle of mass moves under a force given bywhere and are unit vectors in the and directions. The particle is placed at the o
krek1111 [17]

The elapsed time when the particle returns to the origin is determined from the ratio of initial velocity and acceleration of the particle.

<h3>Time of motion of the particle</h3>

The time of motion of the particle is calculated by applying Newton's second law of motion.

F = ma

F = m(v)/t

where;

  • t is time of motion of the particle
  • m is mass of the particle
  • v is velocity of the particle

a = v - u/t

v = u + at

when the particle returns to the origin, direction of u, = negative.

final velocity = 0

0 = -u + at

at = u

t = u/a
