(1/2)^x=1/16
ln 1/2^x=x ln 1/2=ln 1/16
x=4
4 half-lives in one hour=1/4 hour for the half-life of the isotope

Answer:
displacement (x) = 0.003798 meters
Explanation:
from the fact that the string is hung vertically we can deduce that:
Total force acting on the mass = Fs (by spring) + Fg (by gravity)
<em>where</em>
Fs = k*x , x is the displacement..
Fg = m*g
then:
Ftot = m*a, <em>but a = 0 m/(s^2) because the mass becames stationary.</em>
Ftot = 0
Fs + Fg = 0
<em>by direction, take down as negative.</em>
Fs - Fg = 0
k*x = m*g
x = m*g/k = [(0.400)(9.8)]/(10.32)
= 0.3798 meters
Answer:
Maximum Power = 144.3 D
The associated focal length of the lens = 
Explanation:
According to the Lens maker's Formula:

where;
= the refractive index of the medium
and
= radius of curvature on each surface
For a convex lens, The radius of curvature in the front surface will be positive and that of the second surface will be negative . Therefore;

At maximum power

= 
This Implies

Therefore; the power is given by the formula:


= 144.3 D
Complete Question
The complete question is shown on the first uploaded image
Answer:
The mass of the other block is 
Explanation:
From the question we are told that
Mass of the first block is 
The height is 
The time it takes it is
Generally from kinematic equation

Here u is the initial velocity which zero given that it was at rest initially
So

=> 
=> 
=> 
Generally from the diagram the resultant force due to the weight of the first object and the tension on the string is mathematically represented as
