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

Explain how the planets in the solar system formed
Fed [463]
<span>So we want to know how did the planets form in the Solar system. So the current most accepted explanation is accretion. First the Sun formed, and what has left was a disk made out of gas and dust which later formed the planets trough attractive gravitational force.</span>

Inside a vacuum tube, an electron is in the presence of a uniform electric field with a magnitude of 320 N/C. (a) What is the ma
nignag [31]

(a) The magnitude of the acceleration of the electron is 5.62 x 10¹³ m/s².

(b) The speed of the electron after the given time is  4.78 x 10⁵ m/s.

<h3>Acceleration of the electron</h3>

The acceleration of the electron is calculated as follows;

F = qE

ma = qE

a = qE/m

a = (1.6 x 10⁻¹⁹ x 320)/(9.11 x 10⁻³¹)

a = 5.62 x 10¹³ m/s²

<h3>Speed of the electron</h3>

v = at

v = 5.62 x 10¹³ m/s² x  8.50 x 10⁻⁹ s

v = 4.78 x 10⁵ m/s
