Answer:
D. F = 24000[N]
Explanation:
To be able to calculate the force we must first find the pressure at the bottom of the tank. By means of the following equation:
where:
Ro = density of the liquid = 800 [kg/m³]
g = gravity acceleration = 9.81 [m/s²]
h = elevation = 1.2 [m]
Pressure is defined as the relationship between Force on the area.
Answer:
3
Explanation:
The half-life is the time it takes for the amount of radioactive isotope to halve. Therefore, we have:
- After 1 half-life, only 1/2 of the element will be left
- After 2 half-lives, only 1/4 of the element will be left
- After 3 half-lives, only 1/8 of the element will be left
So, it will take 3 half-lives for the element to become 1/8 of its original amount.
Mathematically, this can be also verified by using the equation
where
N(t) is the amount of the element left at time t
N0 is the initial amount of the element
is the half-life
Substituting (3 half-lives), we find
