Answer:

See explanation

Explanation:

The degradation of the drug is a first order process;

Hence;

ln[A] = ln[A]o - kt

Where;

ln[A] = final concentration of the drug

ln[A]o= initial concentration of the drug = 5 gm/100

k= degradation constant = 0.05 day-1

t= time taken

When [A] =[ A]o - 0.5[A]o = 0.5[A]o

ln2.5 = ln5 - 0.05t

ln2.5- ln5 = - 0.05t

t= ln2.5- ln5/-0.05

t= 0.9162 - 1.6094/-0.05

t= 14 days

b) when [A] = [A]o - 0.9[A]o = 0.1[A]o

ln0.5 = ln5 -0.05t

t= ln0.5 - ln5/0.05

t= -0.693 - 1.6094/-0.05

t= 46 days

butalik [34]

Answer:

$u=34cm$

Explanation:

From the question we are told that:

Far point is $V=34 cm$

Near point is $u=17 cm$

Therefore

Focal Length

$f=-34cm$

Generally the equation for the Lens is mathematically given by

$\frac{1}{u}=\frac{1}{f}-\frac{1}{v}$

$\frac{1}{u}=\frac{1}{-34}-\frac{1}{-17}$

$u=34cm$

How far should the second antenna be moved in order to receive a minimum signal from a station that broadcasts at 99.4 MHz?

raketka [301]

Answer:

So the distance of the antenna from the station will be 3.018 m

Explanation:

We have given the frequency of the broadcast $f=99.4MHz=99.4\times 10^4Hz$

The speed of light $c=3\times 10^8m/sec$

The distance of the antenna to receive a minimum signal from the station is given by $d=\frac{v}{f}=\frac{3\times 10^{8}}{99.4\times 10^6}=3.018m$

So the distance of the antenna from the station will be 3.018 m

What is the magnitude of δv12 if the bulb is removed from the socket (i.e. the circuit is not closed)?

andreev551 [17]

Since the circuit is incomplete or not closed, no current flows in the circuit. as per ohm's law , Voltage is directly proportional to current and is given as

V = Voltage = i R where i = current , R = resistance

as no current flows in the circuit, i = 0

the resistance R can not be zero. hence

V = 0 (R)

V = 0 Volts

so the magnitude of the Voltage is zero Volts

A train starts at rest in a station and accelerates at a constant 0.987 m/s2 for 182 seconds. Then the train decelerates at a co

algol [13]

Answer:

$\displaystyle X_T=66.6\ km$

Explanation:

<u>Accelerated Motion </u>

When a body changes its speed at a constant rate, i.e. same changes take same times, then it has a constant acceleration. The acceleration can be positive or negative. In the first case, the speed increases, and in the second time, the speed lowers until it eventually stops. The equation for the speed vf at any time t is given by

$\displaystyle V_f=V_o+a\ t$

where a is the acceleration, and vo is the initial speed .

The train has two different types of motion. It first starts from rest and has a constant acceleration of $0.987 m/s^2$ for 182 seconds. Then it brakes with a constant acceleration of $-0.321 m/s^2$ until it comes to a stop. We need to find the total distance traveled.
