Answer:

12 grams

Step-by-step explanation:

15/5 = 3 half lives

(1/2)³ = 1/8 of the original amount will remain

96 * 1/8 = 12 grams

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Radioactive decay problems are very similar to compound interest formulas, except the rate is subtracted from one, instead of adding to one.

I.e.

mass at time t, m(t) = M (1 - r)^(t/h)

where

M = initial mass (grams)

m (t) mass left at time t (grams)

h = half-life in number of days

r = 0.5 from "half-life"

t = time lapse in number of days

Here

M = 96

h = 5

t = 15

m(15) = 96(1-0.5)^(15/5)

= 96 (1/2)^3

= 12 grams

The point B(1, 1) is rotated 90° counterclockwise around the origin. What are the co
Thepotemich [5.8K]

Given that the point B is (1,1) is rotate 90° counterclockwise around the origin.

We need to determine the coordinates of the resulting point B'.

<u>Coordinates of the point B':</u>

The general rule to rotate the point 90° counterclockwise around the origin is given by

(x, y) \rightarrow(-y, x)

The new coordinate can be determined by interchanging the coordinates of x and y and changing the sign of y.

Now, we shall determine the coordinates of the point B' by substituting (1,1) in the general rule.

Thus, we have;

Coordinates of B' = (1,1) \rightarrow(-1,1)

Thus, the coordinates of the resulting point B' is (-1,1)

10. A road roller takes 750 revolutions to move once to
GarryVolchara [31]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Use consistent units. The length of the roller is 2.8 m. The diameter is 168 cm = 1.68 m

Circumference of roller = 1.68π m

Contact area of roller = 1.68π × 2.8 = 4.704π m²

Each rotation levels 4.704π m² of the playground.

Area of playground = 750 rotations × (4.704π m²)/rotation

= 3528π m²

≈ 11,084 m²
