Answer: 0.0353\ s^{-1}

Explanation:

Given

Radioactive material is found to decrease 40% of its original value in 2.59\times 10\ s

Sample at any time is given by

N=N_oe^{-\lambda t}

where, \lambda=\text{decay constant}

Put values

\Rightarrow 0.4N_o=N_oe^{-\lambda\cdot 2.59\times 10}\\\Rightarrow 0.4=e^{-\lambda\cdot 2.59\times 10

Taking natural logarithm both side

\Rightarrow \lambda=\dfrac{\ln 2.5}{25.9}\\\\\Rightarrow \lambda =0.0353\ s^{-1}

How would you go about separating the components of a mixture of sand, gravel, salt and iron filings
larisa86 [58]

Pour the entire components into water.

First the iron filings can be separated using a magnet as iron is a magnetic element.

By pouring the mixture into water, it allows the salt to dissolve in the water, while the sand will not.

Next we can run this solution through a filtration device to separate the sand from the water.

Now all that's left is to let the water evaporate so that the salt will be exposed that dissolved into the water.

If a calorie is equivalent to 4.184 joules how many joules are contained in 250 kg calories slice of pizza
Andreyy89
In order to answer this, we will set up a simple ratio as such:

1 calorie = 4.184 joules

1 kilocalorie = 1000 calories

1 kilocalorie = 4,184 joules

250 kilocalories = x joules

Cross multiplying the second and third equations, we get:

x joules = 4,184 * 250

250 kilocalories are equivalent to 1,046 kJ
