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.

Which has the greater acceleration, a person going from 0 m/s to 10 m/s in 10 seconds or an ant going from 0 m/s to 0.25 m/s in

monitta

Person-1

Initial velocity=u=0m/s
Final velocity=v=10m/s
Time=10s=t

$\\ \sf\longmapsto Acceleration=\dfrac{v-u}{t}$

$\\ \sf\longmapsto Acceleration=\dfrac{10-0}{10}$

$\\ \sf\longmapsto Acceleration=\dfrac{10}{10}$

$\\ \sf\longmapsto Acceleration=1m/s^2$

Person-2

initial velocity=0m/s=u
Final velocity=v=0.25m/s
Time=t=2s

$\\ \sf\longmapsto Acceleration=\dfrac{0.25-0}{2}$

$\\ \sf\longmapsto Acceleration=\dfrac{0.25}{2}$

$\\ \sf\longmapsto Acceleration=0.125m/s^2$

Person-1 is accelerating faster.

Rock X is released from rest at the top of a cliff that is on Earth. A short time later, Rock Y is released from rest from the s

frosja888 [35]

Answer:

C) True. S increases with time, v₁ = gt and v₂ = g (t-t₀) we see that for the same t v₁> v₂

Explanation:

You have several statements and we must select which ones are correct. The best way to do this is to raise the problem.

Let's use the vertical launch equation. The positive sign because they indicate that the felt downward is taken as an opponent.

Stone 1

y₁ = v₀₁ t + ½ g t²

y₁ = 0 + ½ g t²

Rock2

It comes out a little later, let's say a second later, we can use the same stopwatch

t ’= (t-t₀)

y₂ = v₀₂ t ’+ ½ g t’²

y₂ = 0 + ½ g (t-t₀)²

y₂ = + ½ g (t-t₀)²

Let's calculate the distance between the two rocks, it should be clear that this equation is valid only for t> = to

S = y₁ -y₂

S = ½ g t²– ½ g (t-t₀)²

S = ½ g [t² - (t²- 2 t to + to²)]

S = ½ g (2 t t₀ - t₀²)

S = ½ g t₀ (2 t -t₀)

This is the separation of the two bodies as time passes, the amount outside the Parentheses is constant.

For t <to. The rock y has not left and the distance increases

For t> = to. the ratio (2t/to-1)> 1 therefore the distance increases as time

passes

Now we can analyze the different statements

A) false. The difference in height increases over time

B) False S increases

C) Certain s increases with time, v₁ = gt and V₂ = g (t-t₀) we see that for the same t v₁> v₂

Which statements describe magnetic poles? Check all that apply.

Alex_Xolod [135]

Explanation:

Magnet: It has two poles: South pole and North pole.

Magnetic field lines are stronger near the poles of the magnet.

Same poles repel each other. There is a magnetic force of repulsion between the same poles. North- North poles repel each other.

Unlike poles attract each other. There is magnetic force of attraction between the opposite poles. South- North poles attract each other.

Mono poles cannot exist.

From the given statements, the magnetic poles are described by:

A north pole must exist with a south pole.

Two south poles placed near each other will repel each other.

A north pole and a south pole placed near each other will attract each other.

Ls -2 a solution of 4x +3= -5?.

torisob [31]

Answer:

yes

Explanation:

Let's solve your equation step-by-step.

4x+3=−5

Step 1: Subtract 3 from both sides.

4x+3−3=−5−3

4x=−8

Step 2: Divide both sides by 4.

4x / 4 = −8 / 4

x=−2
