Three grams of Bismuth-218 decay to 0.375 grams in one hour. What is the half-life

Physics
1 answer:
alina1380 [7]3 years ago
6 0

Explanation:

Use half life equation:

A = A₀ (½)^(t / T)

where A is the final amount,

A₀ is the initial amount,

t is time,

and T is half life.

0.375 = 3 (½)^(1 / T)

0.125 = (½)^(1 / T)

(½)^3 = (½)^(1 / T)

3 = 1 / T

T = 1/3 hours

T = 20 minutes

On a straight road (taken to be in the x direction) you drive for an hour at 60 km per hour, then quickly speed up to 120 km per
Luda [366]

Answer:

The average velocity is 180 km/hr

Explanation:

Given;

initial velocity, u = 60 km per hour

final velocity, v = 120 km per hour

initial time = 1 hour

final time = 2 hour

Initial position = 60 km/h x 1 hour = 60 km

final position = 120 km/h x 2 hour = 240 km

The average velocity is given by;

V_{avg} = \frac{Final \ position\  - \ Initial \ position}{final \ time\  - \ initial \ time}\\\\V_{avg} = \frac{240km \ - \ 60km}{2hr\  - \ 1hr} \\\\V_{avg} = \frac{180 \ km}{1hr} \\\\V_{avg}= 180 \ km/hr

Therefore, the average velocity is 180 km/hr

Fantom [35]

Answer:

The 5-number summary is

1. Median = 0.93 W/kg

2. Lower quartile = 0.69 W/kg

3. Upper quartile = 1.16 W/kg

4. Minimum value = 0.54 W/kg

5. Maximum value = 1.42 W/kg

Explanation:

We are given the measured radiation absorption rates​ (in W/kg) corresponding to 11 cell phones.

1.16 0.85 0.69 0.75 0.95 0.93 1.18 1.17 1.42 0.54 0.57

What is 5-number summary?

A 5-number summary refers to a box plot that basically shows 5 statistical characteristics of a data set.

These statistical characteristics are:    

1. Median

2. Lower quartile

3. Upper quartile  

4. Minimum value  

5. Maximum value  

1. Median:

Arrange the data in ascending order

0.54 0.57 0.69 0.75 0.85 0.93 0.95 1.16 1.17 1.18 1.42

(n+1)/2 gives the median value of the data set.

(11 + 1)/2 = 6th position

Therefore, 0.93 W/kg is the median of the data set.

2. Lower quartile:

Divide the data set into two equal halfs (include median in both if n = odd)

Lower half = 0.54 0.57 0.69 0.75 0.85 0.93

Upper half = 0.93 0.95 1.16 1.17 1.18 1.42

The lower quartile is the median of the lower half of the data set.

Lower half = 0.54 0.57 0.69 0.75 0.85 0.93

The median is 6/2 = 3rd position

Therefore, the lower quartile of the data set is 0.69 W/kg

3. Upper quartile:

Divide the data set into two equal halfs (include median in both if n = odd)

Lower half = 0.54 0.57 0.69 0.75 0.85 0.93

Upper half = 0.93 0.95 1.16 1.17 1.18 1.42

The upper quartile is the median of the lower half of the data set.

Upper half = 0.93 0.95 1.16 1.17 1.18 1.42

The median is 6/2 = 3rd position

Therefore, the upper quartile of the data set is 1.16 W/kg

4. Minimum value:

The minimum value is the least value in the data set.

0.54 0.57 0.69 0.75 0.85 0.93 0.95 1.16 1.17 1.18 1.42

Therefore, the minimum value of the data set is 0.54 W/kg

5. Maximum value  

The maximum value is the least value in the data set.

0.54 0.57 0.69 0.75 0.85 0.93 0.95 1.16 1.17 1.18 1.42

Therefore, the maximum value of the data set is 1.42 W/kg

The box plot is illustrated in the attached diagram.

It seems that you have missed the necessary options for us to answer this question so I had to look for it. Anyway, here is the answer. The statement that is correct regarding the polarization of a neuronal membrane and the formation of a resting membrane potential is this: <span>Sodium/Potassium pumps maintain concentration gradients; sodium and potassium move down their concentration gradients through leakage channels.</span>

Lenses are often coated with magnesium fluoride (refractive index n = 1.38) to reduce reflections. How thick should the layer of
Valentin [98]

Answer: 99.64 nm (≅ 100 nm)

Explanation: In order to explain this problem we have to obtain destructive inteference from two waves that reflect in the film and lens surface so both waves have a λ/2 shift then we have to get a difference path (2L) equal to an odd number of the half wavelegth.

Then we have the following expression:

L=(m+1/2)* λ/(2*n2);  where n2 is the refractive index of the coating

for m=0 we have the minimum thickness for the coating

L=λ/(4*n2)=99.64 nm (≅ 100 nm)
