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

Given that the distance from the left end of the string to the first antinode is 27.5 cm , calculate the wavelength of the stand
ivolga24 [154]

Answer:

= 0.55 m

Explanation:

A standing wave is characterized by anti-nodes and nodes.

Antinodes are points on a standing wave at maximum amplitude, while nodes are points on the standing wave that are stationary and have zero amplitude.

The distance between two adjacent nodes or two adjacent anti-nodes is equivalent to half the wavelength.

Therefore, in this case the half wavelength is 27.5 cm.

Thus, wavelength = 27.5 × 2

                              = 55 cm

                             <u>= 0.55 m</u>

aleksley [76]

Answer:

C)The Same

Explanation:

Kinematics equation:

y=v_{oy}*t+1/2*g*t^2

for both cases the initial velocity in the axis Y is the same, equal a zero.

So the relation between the height ant temps is the same for both cases (the horizontal velocity does not play a role)

C)The Same
