If we start with 48 g of a radioactive substance with a 2 hour 12 life, how much is left after two half-lives?

Physics

ivolga24 [154]2 years ago
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

jasenka [17]

Answer: You don't do work.

Explanation: If you don't do the work you don't have to ask this question. With work comes labor. With labor comes change. With change comes resistance and people do not like change. IT causes anger, so if you stop doing work and stick to the important supply like food, water, and shelter you don't have to go through the trouble of this and we can live in a peaceful environment for this world to be better than it is. People do to much, it's a natural fact but you can change the entire picture. If you read all of this thank you for accepting the fact of life.

Jaden has a mass of 45 kilograms on Earth. Jupiter has more gravity than the Earth. On Jupiter, Jaden's mass will be O more than
Dovator [93]

Answer:

m = 45 kg

Explanation:

Given that,

Mass of Jadan, m = 45 kg on Earth

Jupiter has more gravity than the Earth.

Mass of an object is the amount of matter contained inside an object. We need to tell about the mass of Jaden on Jupiter. The mass of the object remains same everywhere.It does not change in any of the location.

Hence, Jaden's mass will be 45 kg on Jupiter.

In regards to mechanical energy, is energy being conserved ?
xxTIMURxx [149]

If only internal forces are doing work (no work done by external forces), then there is no change in the total amount of mechanical energy. The total mechanical energy is said to be conserved. ... In these situations, the sum of the kinetic and potential energy is everywhere the same.

Three balls of equal mass are fired simultaneously with equal speeds from the same height h above the ground. Ball 1 is fired st
pantera1 [17]

Answer:

d) v1 = v2 = v3

Explanation:

This can be answered using conservation of energy. We calculate the mechanical energy E=K+U (sum of kinetic and gravitational potential energies) at the original and final points, and impose they are equal.

At the original point we have, for the three balls:

E_i=K_i+U_i=\frac{mv_i^2}{2}+mgh_i=\frac{mv^2}{2}+mgh

At the final point we have, for the three balls:

E_f=K_f+U_f=\frac{mv_f^2}{2}+mgh_f=\frac{mv_f^2}{2}

Since we have E_i=E_f, and E_i is the same for all balls, then E_f is the same for all balls, which means that v_f, the final velocity, is the same for all balls.
