Element X is a radioactive isotope such that every 81 years, its mass decreases by half. Given that the initial mass of a sample

of Element X is 1800 grams, how much of the element would remain after 28 years, to the nearest whole number?

A beam of light from a monochromatic laser shines into a piece of glass. The glass has thickness L and index of refraction n=1.5

boyakko [2]

Additional information to complete the question:

How long does it take for a short pulse of light to travel from one end of the glass to the other?

Express your answer in terms of some or all of the variables f and L. Use the numeric value given for n in the introduction.

T = ___________ s

Answer:

$T = \frac{15}{f}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Thickness og glass = L

Index of refraction n=1.5

Frequency = f

$Wavelength = \frac{L}{10}$

λ(air) $= \frac{L}{10}$

λ(glass) = λ(air) / n

= $\frac{\frac{L}{10}}{1.5}$

= $\frac{L}{10} * \frac{1}{1.5}$

= $\frac{L}{15}$

V(glass) = fλ(glass)

$= f * \frac{L}{15}$

$T = \frac{L}{V_{glass}} = \frac{15}{f}$

How do you add 1/15 + 1/6?

Brut [27]

you are going to need to find the common name of common denominator 4/1 over 4 plus 1 over 6 equal to look for the commentator of 15 and 6 what goes into 15 and 6 is going to 15 and 6 the common denominator will be actually 12 to 6 only go into 15 2 times cuz I can't get close to 15 than q2 so you have to common denominator now this is going to be both 1/12 + 1/12 is going to be either 2/24 or 2/12

The difference between two numbers is 16. Three times the larger number is seven times the smaller. What are the numbers?

slavikrds [6]

Answer:

12 and 28

Step-by-step explanation:

Represent the numbers using x and y. Then y - x = 16. (y is the larger one.)

Then 3y = 7x, and y = (7/3)x.

Substituting (7/3)x for y in y - x = 16, we get:

(7/3)x - x = 16.

Eliminate the fraction by multiplying all three terms by 3:

7x - 3x = 48, or 4x = 48, yielding x = 12. Then y = (7/3)(12) = 28.
