Answer:

Option B. 32 g

Explanation:

From the question given above, the following data were obtained:

Original amount (N₀) = 128 g

Half-life (t½) = 2.25 billion years

Number of half-lives (n) = 2

Amount remaining (N) =?

The amount of 128 gram of Radium-226 that will remain after 2 half-lives has elapsed can be obtained as followb

N = 1/2ⁿ × N₀

N = 1/2² × 128

N = 1/4 × 128

N = 0.25 × 128

N = 32 g

Therefore, 32g of the sample will remain.

A capacitor with a very large capacitance is in series with a capacitor that has a very small capacitance. what can we say about
Misha Larkins [42]
<span>A capacitor with a very large capacitance is in series with a capacitor
that has a very small capacitance.

The capacitance of the series combination is slightly smaller than the
capacitance of the small capacitor. (choice-C)

The capacitance of a series combination is

             1 / (1/A + 1/B + 1/C + 1/D + .....) .

If you wisk, fold, knead, and mash that expression for a while,
you find that for only two capacitors in series, (or 2 resistors or
two inductors in parallel), the combination is   

             (product of the 2 individuals) / (sum of the individuals)  .

In this problem, we have a humongous one and a tiny one.
Let's call them  1000  and  1 .
Then the series combination is

           (1000 x 1) / (1000 + 1)

        =       (1000) / (1001)

        =         0.999 000 999 . . . 

which is smaller than the smaller individual.

It'll always be that way.   </span>

Two planets, Dean and Sam, orbit the Sun. They each have with circular orbits, but orbit at different distances from the Sun. De
lyudmila [28]

Answer:

The correct answer is Dean has a period greater than San

Explanation:

Kepler's third law is an application of Newton's second law where the force is the universal force of attraction for circular orbits, where it is obtained.

                T² = (4π² / G M)  r³

When applying this equation to our case, the planet with a greater orbit must have a greater period.

Consequently Dean must have a period greater than San which has the smallest orbit

The correct answer is Dean has a period greater than San

How could you make a sound wave sound louder
kykrilka [37]
If you clap your hands, the shock causes the air around your hands to begin vibrating. When air particles vibrate, they bump into other particles near them. Then these particles begin to vibrate and bump into even more air particles. When the air particles begin vibrating the air inside your ear, you hear a sound.
