How many half-lifes is 49.2 years ?

(49.2 years) / (12.3 years per half-life)  =  4 half-lifes.

In 4 half-lifes, (1/2) · (1/2) · (1/2) · (1/2) of the original sample remains.

That's (1/2⁴) or (1/16) of the original.

(1/16) of 48.0 mg  =  <em>3 mg</em> .

=======================

Step-by-step:

== Start with 48 mg .

== After one half-life, 24 mg remains.

== Then, after the second half-life, 12 mg remains.

== Then, after the third half-life, 6 mg remains.

== Then, after the fourth half-life, <em>3 mg</em> remains.

Answer:

Explanation:

The formula for this, the easy one, is

N=N_0(\frac{1}{2})^{\frac{t}{H} where No is the initial amount of the element, t is the time in years, and H is the half life. Filling in:

N=48.0(\frac{1}{2})^{\frac{49.2}{12.3} and simplifying a bit:

N=48.0(.5)^4 and

N = 48.0(.0625) so

N = 3 mg left after 12.3 years

Answer:

1.) A - 1,2,1,2

2.) Both forces can act without objects touching.

3.) C

Both can be modeled as waves having amplitude, frequency and wave lengths.

4.) A, B and C

Explanation:

1.) SO2 + ___ H2 ----------> _____ S + _______H2O

Looking at above equation, we have one molecule of surfur at the right hand side (RHS), and one molecule of surfur at the left hand side (LHS).

Two atoms of hydrogen and both RHS and LHS

But oxygen is not balanced. We have two atoms of oxygen at the RHS while having one at the LHS.

So let's make oxygen 2 atoms at LHS by adding 2 to water molecules and hydrogen molecules at the RHS.

SO2 + ___ 2H2 ----------> _____ S + _______2H2O

The correct answer is A - 1,2,1,2

2.) Both magnetic force and gravitational force obey inverse square law with distance. They are not directly proportional but inversely proportional to the square distance. B is the correct answer because Both forces can act without objects touching.

3.) Light waves are transverse waves which can travel through a vacuum without a medium while sound waves are longitudinal waves which cannot travel through vacuum without a medium. But both can be modeled as waves having amplitude, frequency and wave lengths.

4.) If an object is slowing down, due to conservation of energy,

The potential energy could be increasing, like a ball thrown into the air.

The kinetic energy could be lost to friction or air resistance.

The ball could be returning to its natural resting state.

mamaluj [8]
Strange as it may seem, the object would keep moving, in a straight line and at the same speed, until it came near another object. Its momentum and kinetic energy would never change. It might continue like that for a billion years or more.

Have a look at Newton's first law of motion.

A 0.20-kg mass is oscillating on a spring over a horizontal frictionless surface. When it is at a displacement of 2.6 cm for equ
valentinak56 [21]

Explanation:

The given data is as follows.

                    mass = 0.20 kg

              displacement = 2.6 cm

              Kinetic energy = 1.4 J

       Spring potential energy = 2.2 J

Now, we will calculate the total energy present present as follows.

         Total energy = Kinetic energy + spring potential energy

                           = 1.4 J + 2.2 J

                            = 3.6 Joules

As maximum kinetic energy of the object will be equal to the total energy.

So,      K.E = Total energy

                = 3.6 J

Also, we know that

                  K.E = \frac{1}{2}mv^{2}_{m}

or,                   v = \sqrt{\frac{2K.E}{m}}

                        = \sqrt{2 \times 3.6 J}{0.2 kg}

                        = \sqrt{36}

                        = 6 m/s

thus, we can conclude that maximum speed of the mass during its oscillation is 6 m/s.
