Answer:

m₀ = 96 g

Explanation:

First, we will calculate the no. of half-lives passed:

n = \frac{T}{T_{1/2}}

where,

n = no. of half-lives passed = ?

T = Total time elapsed = 32 h

T_{1/2} = Half-Life = 8 h

Therefore,

n = \frac{32\ h}{8\ h}\\\\n = 4

Now, for the initial amount of element:

m = \frac{m_o}{2^n}\\\\m_o = m(2^n)

where,

m₀ = initial amount of element = ?

m = current amount of element = 6 g

Therefore,

m_o = (6\ g)(2^4)

m₀ = (6 g)(16)

<u>m₀ = 96 g</u>

Why are water storage tanks usually placed on high towers
sammy [17]
Thay are on high towers because if it was below how would the water flow. Putting it on high towers gives you an advantage of the gravity with means you got free pressure without having to use a pump.

A bird watcher meanders through the woods, walking 1.93 km due east, 1.03 km due south, and 3.84 km in a direction 52.8 ° north
Sedaia [141]

Answer:

Magnitude of displacement = 2.07 km

Magnitude of average velocity = 1.17 kmph

Explanation:

Let east represent positive x axis and north represent positive y axis.

A bird watcher meanders through the woods, walking 1.93 km due east, 1.03 km due south, and 3.84 km in a direction 52.8 ° north of west.

1.93 km due wast

           s ₁ = 1.93 i km

1.03 km due south

           s₂ = -1.03 j km

3.84 km in a direction 52.8 ° north of west

           s₃ = -3.84 cos 52.8 i + 3.84 sin 52.8 j = -2.32 i + 3.06 j km

Total displacement

          s = s ₁+  s₂+ s₃ = 1.93 i - 1.03 j -2.32 i + 3.06 j = -0.39 i + 2.03 j

  Magnitude of displacement, =\sqrt{(-0.39)^2+2.03^2}=2.07km

Time taken = 1.771 hour

Magnitude of average velocity, =\frac{2.07}{1.771}=1.17km/hr
