4 0

Explanation:

Half-life is the time taken for a radioactive material to decay to half its original composition:

Original mass = 48g

Half- life = 2hr

After four half lives;

Initially: 48g

First halving 24

Second halving 12

Third halving 6

Fourth halving 3

After second half life, we would have 12g

At fourth halving, we would have 3g

Jet001 [13]

Answer:

(e) 3.2

Explanation:

We are given that vector C and D.

Let R be the magnitude of C+D.

According to question

R=3D

We have to find the ratio of the magnitude of C to that of D.

By using right triangle property

$C^2=R^2+D^2$

$C^2=(3D)^2+D^2$

$C^2=9D^2+D^2$

$C^2=10D^2$

$C=\sqrt{10D^2}=3.2D$

$\frac{C}{D}=3.2$

Hence, the ratio of the magnitude of C to that of D=3.2

In the circuit shown below, 0.25 A of current flows through a 20-Ω resistor. How much voltage is needed to produce this current?

balu736 [363]

Answer:

D 5 V

Explanation:

Without seeing the whole circuit it is impossible to say for certain.

However the simplest circuit would produce a value of

FV = IR = 0.25(20) = 5 v
