lodine-131 has a half life of about 8 days. If you had 60 grams of , how much would remain after 24 days?

Physics

Answer:

7.5 grams

Explanation:

From the question,

(R/R')ᵇ = 2ᵃ.................... Equation 1

Where b = half life, R = Original mass of iodine, R' = Remaining mass of Iodine after disintegration, a = Total time taken.

⇒ R/R' = 2ᵃ/ᵇ............... Equation 2

Given: R = 60 grams, a = 24 days, b = 4 days

Substitute these values into equation 2

60/R' = 2²⁴/⁸

60/R' = 2³

R' = 60/2³

R' = 60/8

R' = 7.5 grams

A tugboat pulls a ship with a constant net horizontal force of 4.71 × 103 N and causes the ship to move through a harbor. How mu
Studentka2010 [4]

Answer:

21.53 x 10^{6} N

Explanation:

force (F) = 4.71 x 10^{3} N

distance (s) = 4.57 km = 4570 m

how much work is done.

work = force x distance

work = 4.71 x 10^{3} x 4570 = 21.53 x 10^{6} N

A rod 14.0 cm long is uniformly charged and has a total charge of 222.0 mc. determine (a) the magnitude and (b) the direction of
Yuri [45]

Electric field due to a charged rod along its axis is given by

E = \frac{kQ}{(L+r)(r)}

here we know that

L = 14 cm

r = distance from end of rod

r = 36 - 7 = 29 cm

Q = 222 mC

now we will have

E = \frac{(9 \times 10^9)(222 \times 10^{-3})}{(0.29)(0.43)}

E = 1.6 \times 10^{10} N/C

Which of the following best describes electromagnetic waves?
luda_lava [24]

Electromagnetic waves are waves characterized by oscillating coupled electric and magnetic fields (electromagnetic fields). Because these are waves, they are shown to exhibit wave phenomena such as diffraction, reflection, and transmission, much like other types of waves.

The best description looks like option D

Terry can ride 30 miles in 2 hours. If his riding speed is
Anni [7]

Answer:  20.4 miles

Explanation:

Here we need to use the equation:

Velocity = Distance/Time.

Initially we have that he can travel 30 miles in 2 hours, so the velocity is:

V = 30mi/2h = 15mph

Now, we reduce the velocity by 3 mph, so the new velocity is 15mph - 3 mph = 12mph.

Now we want to know the distance traveled in 1.7 hours with this velocity, this is.

Velocity*Time = Distance

12mi/h*1.7h = 20.4 miles
