Dubnium-262 has a half-life of 34 s. How long will it take for 500.0 grams to

Mathematics

dmitriy555 [2]2 years ago

Answer:

the time taken for the radioactive element to decay to 1 g is 304.8 s.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given;

half-life of the given Dubnium = 34 s

initial mass of the given Dubnium, m₀ = 500 grams

final mass of the element, mf = 1 g

The time taken for the radioactive element to decay to its final mass is calculated as follows;

1 = 500 (0.5)^{\frac{t}{34}} \\\\\frac{1}{500} =  (0.5)^{\frac{t}{34}}\\\\log(\frac{1}{500}) = log [(0.5)^{\frac{t}{34}}]\\\\log(\frac{1}{500})  = \frac{t}{34} log(0.5)\\\\-2.699 = \frac{t}{34} (-0.301)\\\\t = \frac{2.699 \times 34}{0.301} \\\\t = 304.8 \ s

Therefore, the time taken for the radioactive element to decay to 1 g is 304.8 s.

Find y so that (-2, y) is a solution to 3x + 5y=8​
podryga [215]

Answer:

y = \frac{14}{5}

Step-by-step explanation:

Substitute x = - 2 into the equation and solve for y

3(- 2) + 5y = 8, that is

- 6 + 5y = 8 ( add 6 to both sides )

5y = 14 ( divide both sides by 5 )

y = \frac{14}{5}

A can in the shape of a right cylinder is filled with 10W-40 oil. The weight of 10W-40 oil is 0.857 gram per cubic centimeter. I
Leya [2.2K]
To solve this, we have to find the volume of the cylinder first.  The formula to be used is V =  \pi  r^{2} h

Given:V= ?r= 6cmh= 10cm
Solution:V =  \pi  r^{2} h
V= (3.14)(6cm)^{2} x 10cmV= (3.14)(36cm^{2}) x 10cmV= (113.04cm^{2}) x 10cmV= 1130.4cm^3
Finding the volume of the cylinder, we can now solve what the weight of the oil is.  Using the formula of density, Density = mass/volume, we can derive a formula to get the weight.
Given:Density = 0.857 gm/cm^3Volume = 1130.4 cm^3
Solution:weight = density x volumew= (0.857 gm/cm^3) (1130.4cm^3)w= 968.7528 gm
The weight of the oil is 968.75 gm.

sukhopar [10]
From a reliable source, the maximum capacity of a standard bus used as school bus is 72 students. Because the bus that Mr. Tuttle drives is already 3/4 full, only 1/4 of the capacity is unoccupied. With this, the number of the empty seats is calculated by multiplying 72 by 1/4 as shown below.
        empty seats  = (1/4)(72) = 18

Therefore, the bus could have accommodated 18 more students.
