Answer:

A = 349 g.

Explanation:

Hello there!

In this case, since the radioactive decay kinetic model is based on the first-order kinetics whose integrated rate law is:

$A=Ao*exp(-kt)$

We can firstly calculate the rate constant given the half-life as shown below:

$k=\frac{ln(2)}{t_{1/2}} =\frac{ln(2)}{58year}=0.012year^{-1}$

Therefore, we can next plug in the rate constant, elapsed time and initial mass of the radioactive to obtain:

$A=500g*exp(-0.012year^{-1} *30year)\\\\A=349g$

Regards!

An airplane starts at rest and Excelerator down the runway for 20 seconds. At the end of the runway, its velocity is 80 m/s Nort

masha68 [24]

According to the formula you have given us to work with . . .

1). The airplane's acceleration is

(80 m/s north - zero) / (20 sec) = 4 m/sec^2 north

2). For the cyclist:

(V-final - zero) / 20sec = 0.5 m/s^2 south

Multiply each side by 20s : V-final = 0.5 m/s^2 south x (20sec) =

10 m/s south

2. A 10 kg ball is rolled down a rail from a height of 20 m. What is the velocity at the bottom of the

solmaris [256]

Answer:

19.8m/s

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Mass of the ball = 10kg

Height of the rail = 20m

Unknown:

Velocity at the bottom of the rail = ?

Solution:

The velocity at the bottom of the rail is its final velocity.

Using the appropriate motion equation, we can find this parameter;

V² = U² + 2gH

V is the final velocity

U is the initial velocity

g is the acceleration due to gravity

H is the height

the ball was rolled from rest, U = 0

V² = O² + 2 x 9.8 x 20

V = 19.8m/s

Which of the following are correct for zero-order reactions?

GREYUIT [131]

Answer:

The answer is "Choice A and Choice B"

Explanation:

The Zero-Order reactions are usually found if a substrate, like a surface or even a catalyst, is penetrated also by reactants. Its success rate doesn't depend mostly on the amounts of the various reaction in this reaction.

Let the Rate = k

As $\frac{dx}{dt} \ rate\ \ K_0$ doesn't depend on reaction rate, a higher reaction rate does not intensify the reaction.
