If the half life of an isotope is 20 years, then half of the original amount will remain after 20 years has passed.

That's what "half-life" means.

Similarly, after ANOTHER 20 years, 1\4 of the original amount remains.

And after ANOTHER 20 years, 1\8 of the original amount remains.

And after ANOTHER 20 years, 1\16 of the original amount remains.

And after ANOTHER 20 years, 1\32 of the original amount remains.

And after ANOTHER 20 years, 1\64 of the original amount remains.

And after ANOTHER 20 years, 1\128 of the original amount remains.

A race car has a maximum speed of 0.104 km/s .What is this speed in miles per hour ?

sweet [91]

Answer:

232.641374 mph

Explanation:

A race car has a maximum speed of 0.104km/s

Let X represent the speed in miles per hour

Therefore the speed in miles per hour can be calculated as follows

1 km/s = 2,236.936292 mph

0.104km/s = X

X = 0.104 × 2,236.936292

X = 232.641374

Hence the speed in miles per hour is 232.641374 mph

A machine exerts a 100 N force to the right over a 5.00 meter length in 4.00 seconds. Calculate the power output of this machine

bixtya [17]

125 W is the power output of this machine.

Answer:

Explanation:

Power is defined as the amount of work done on the system to move that system from its original state within the given time interval. So it can be determined by the ratio of work done with time interval. As work done is the measure of force required to move a system to a certain distance. Work done is calculated as product of force with displacement.

So in the present case, the force is given as 100 N, the displacement is given as 5 m and the time is given as 4 s, then power is

$Power = \frac{Work done}{Time}$
