Use the following half-life graph to answer the following question:

Physics
1 answer:
Temka [501]3 years ago
3 0

Answer:

A 1.0 min

Explanation:

The half-life of a radioisotope is defined as the time it takes for the mass of the isotope to halve compared to the initial value.

From the graph in the problem, we see that the initial mass of the isotope at time t=0 is

m_0 = 50.0 g

The half-life of the isotope is the time it takes for half the mass of the sample to decay, so it is the time t at which the mass will be halved:

m'=\frac{50.0 g}{2}=25.0 g

We see that this occurs at t = 1.0 min, so the half-life of the isotope is exactly 1.0 min.

5. How much does a 20 m x 10 m x 8 m swimming pool filled with water weigh? Assume that water has a density of 62 kg/m'.​
Nookie1986 [14]

Explanation:

First of all we calculate the volume which is 20m×10m×8m= 1600m^3 and then multiply the density by the volume to get the mass which will equal to 99200kg therefore the weight will be

<em><u>Weight</u></em>

mass × acceleration due to gravity

=99200kg × 10m^s^2

=992000N
