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

Light enters water from air at an angle of 25° with the normal, Θ1. If water has an index of refraction of 1.33, determine Θ2.
vladimir1956 [14]
By Snell's law:

η = sini / sinr.        i = 25,  η = 1.33

1.33 = sin25° / sinr

sinr = sin25° / 1.33 = 0.4226/1.33 = 0.3177    Use a calculator.

r = sin⁻¹(0.3177)

r ≈ 18.52°

Option A.

God's grace.

A 1000-kg whale swims horizontally to the right at a speed of 6.0 m/s. It suddenly collides directly with a stationary seal of m
anzhelika [568]

Answer:

Momentum after collision will be 6000 kgm/sec

Explanation:

We have given mass of the whale = 1000

Initial velocity v = 6 m/sec

It collides with other mass of 200 kg which is at stationary

Initial momentum of the whale = 1000×6 = 6000 kgm/sec

We have to find the momentum after collision

From conservation of momentum

Initial momentum = final momentum

So final momentum = 6000 kgm/sec
