Answer:

10.8 days (3 sig.figs.)

Explanation:

All radioactive decay is 1st order decay defined by the expression A = A₀e^-kt

which is solved for time of decay (t) => t = ln(A/A₀) / -k

A = final weight = 1.0 gram

A₀ = initial weight = 16.0 grams

k = rate constant = 0.693/t(1/2) = 0.693/2.69 days = 0.258 days⁻¹

t = ln(1/16) / -0.258da⁻¹ = (-2.77/-0.258) days = 10.74646792 days (calculator)

≅ 10 days (1 sig. fig. based on given 1 gram mass)

Determine the length of the object shown <br>A. 97.8 mm<br>B. 97.80 mm<br>C. 97 mm<br>D. 98 mm​
jeka94

Answer:

A. 97.8 mm  

Explanation:

There are 10 divisions between 9 cm (90 mm) and the end of the ruler (10 cm or 100 mm).

Each division equals 1 mm.

Each 5 mm mark has a longer tick, and the dashed red line is between the 97 mm and 98 mm marks.

You would normally estimate to the nearest tenth of a division. An estimate of 0.8 mm is reasonable.

The length of the object is 97.0 mm + 0.8 mm = 97.8 mm.

B is wrong. You can't possibly estimate to the nearest hundredth of a division.  

C is wrong. The dashed red line slightly before the 98 mm mark.

D is wrong. If the dashed red line were exactly on the 98 mm mark, you would record the measurement as 98.0 mm. This indicates that you measured the object to zero tenths on either side of the mark.
