Answer:
4.5g

Explanation:

No = 36g Let half life is T

T= 3 T n number of half lives = t/T=3

N/No= (1/2)^n

Where, No be the initial amount

N be the amount left

n be the number of half lives

N/36 = (1/2)^3

N/36 = 1/8

N = 36/8 = 4.5g

Answer:

<u>Option "C":</u> "4.5 g"

Explanation:

N0 = 36 g, Let half-life is T.

t = 3 T, n is number of half lives = t / T = 3

<u>By using the decay law of radioactivity</u>

N / N0 = (1 / 2)^n

where

"N0" be the "initial amount"

"N" be the "amount left"

"n" be the "number of half-lives"

N / 36 = (1/2)^3

N / 36 = 1 / 8

N = 36 / 8 = 4.5 g

A particle moves along the curve below. y = sqrt(1 + x^3) As it reaches the point (2, 3), the y-coordinate is increasing at a ra
blagie [28]

Answer:7 cm/s

Explanation:

Given

Particle move along curve

y=\sqrt{1+x^3}

As it reaches the (2,3) its y coordinate is increasing at 14 cm/s

Differentiating y w.r.t time

\frac{\mathrm{d} y}{\mathrm{d} t}=\frac{3x^2}{2\sqrt{1+x^3}}\times \frac{\mathrm{d} x}{\mathrm{d} t}

Now at (2,3)

\frac{\mathrm{d} y}{\mathrm{d} t}=\frac{3\cdot 2^2}{2\sqrt{1+2^3}}\times \frac{\mathrm{d} x}{\mathrm{d} t}

14=\frac{3\times 4}{2\times \sqrt{9}}\times \frac{\mathrm{d} x}{\mathrm{d} t}

\frac{\mathrm{d} x}{\mathrm{d} t}=7 cm/s

How do two objects at different temperatures attain thermal equilibrium?
Lady bird [3.3K]

Answer:

C.As the two objects touch, thermal energy flows as heat from the warmer block to the colder block until particles in both blocks move at the same rate and reach the same temperature.

Explanation:

Heat is the transfer of thermal energy from an object at higher temperature to an object at colder temperature.

The temperature of an object is a measure of how fast the particles in the object move: the higher its temperature, the faster the particles move, the higher the average kinetic energy of the particles in the object. As a result, the particles of the object at higher temperature tend to transfer more energy (called thermal energy) to the particles of the object at colder temperature by colliding with them: this process continues until the particles of the colder object reach the same average kinetic energy as the particles of the warmer object, and this means that the two objects have reached the same temperature.

When making a turn, do not have the steering wheel turned in the direction of the turn before beginning the turning maneuver.a)
RideAnS [48]

Answer:

a) True.

Explanation:
