1 answer:
Answer:
Road A- dry
Road B- mud
Road C- wet
Explanation:
Surface conditions do affect the ease and speed with which a skateboarder can move, on a muddy surface, the tyres of the skate boards finds it difficult to establish adequate fictional force between the skates trees and the traveling surface. Hence, the muddy surface presents a very slippery travel ground for the skate, hence leading the to skateboarder needing to apply caution.
The speed on a wet surfave is height as the amount of firece that will be applied in other to accelerate is very small. The surface is wet and hence serves as a lubricant between the contact surface.
The dry road also has a high speed but lower than a wet surface, frictional force is high here and this tend to slow the skateboarder down except in sloppy terrains.

Answer:
(a) 1.939 m/h
(b) 0.926 m/h
(c) -0.315 m/h
(d) -1.21 m/h
Explanation:
Here, we have the water depth given by the function of time;
D(t) = 7 + 5·cos[0.503(t-6.75)]
Therefore, to find the velocity of the depth displacement with time, we differentiate the given expression with respect to time as follows;
D'(t) =
= 5×(-sin(0.503(t-6.75))×0.503
= -2.515×(-sin(0.503(t-6.75))
= -2.515×(-sin(0.503×t-3.395))
Therefore we have;
(a) at 5:00 AM = 5 - 0:00 = 5
D'(5) = -2.515×(-sin(0.503×5-3.395)) = 1.939 m/h
(b) at 6:00 AM = 6 - 0:00 = 6
D'(5) = -2.515×(-sin(0.503×6-3.395)) = 0.926 m/h
(c) at 7:00 AM = 7 - 0:00 = 7
D'(5) = -2.515×(-sin(0.503×7-3.395)) = -0.315 m/h
(d) at Noon 12:00 PM = 12 - 0:00 = 12
D'(5) = -2.515×(-sin(0.503×12-3.395)) = -1.21 m/h.
Answer: a) 3.85 days
b) 10.54 days
Explanation:-
Expression for rate law for first order kinetics is given by:
where,
k = rate constant = ?
t = time taken for decomposition = 3 days
a = let initial amount of the reactant = 100 g
a - x = amount left after decay process =
First we have to calculate the rate constant, we use the formula :
Now put all the given values in above equation, we get
a) Half-life of radon-222:
Thus half-life of radon-222 is 3.85 days.
b) Time taken for the sample to decay to 15% of its original amount:
where,
k = rate constant =
t = time taken for decomposition = ?
a = let initial amount of the reactant = 100 g
a - x = amount left after decay process =
Thus it will take 10.54 days for the sample to decay to 15% of its original amount.
