Answer:

22.38 g of silicone-32 will be present in 300 years.

Step-by-step explanation:

A radioactive half-life refers to the amount of time it takes for half of the original isotope to decay and its given by

                                           N(t)=N_0(\frac{1}{2})^{\frac{t}{t_{1/2}}

where,

N(t) = quantity of the substance remaining

N_0 = initial quantity of the substance

t = time elapsed

t_{1/2} = half life of the substance

From the information given we know:

  • The initial quantity of silicone-32 is 30 g.
  • The time elapsed is 300 years.
  • The half life of silicone-32 is 710 years.

So, to find the quantity of silicone-32 remaining we apply the above equation

N(t)=30\left(\frac{1}{2}\right)^{\frac{300}{710}}=30\left(\frac{1}{2}\right)^{\frac{30}{71}}\approx22.38 \:g

22.38 g of silicone-32 will be present in 300 years.

Morgarella [4.7K]

Answer:

  16 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

One of the other three sides is 12 ft. After that fence is subtracted from the total, there are 32 ft of fence left for the other two sides of the rectangle. That allows those sides to be 32 ft/2 = 16 ft long.

The rectangle can be 12 ft by 16 ft. The longer dimension is 16 ft.

Could someone please explain to me how to determine the answer to this question?
dexar [7]

Concept: Solution of the given attachment is based on the addition of two vectors as given below.

Consider two vectors P and Q, then resultant of these two vectors is given as,

R = P + Q

To find the addition of G & H vectors. That is G + H =?

In the given figure;

Vector A = - Vector G because both are in opposite directions -----(i)

From the figure,

A + H = F --------------- using the given concept ---------(ii)

Now, shall replace the value of A from equation (i) in equation(ii)

- G + H = F

or, G + (- H) = - F

Since the vector addition of G & H is not equal to F.

Hence, the given statement G + H = F is False.
