Answer: 0.077 M
Explanation:
Expression for rate law for first order kinetics is given by:

where,
k = rate constant = 
t = time taken for decay process = 10 minutes
a = initial amount of the reactant= 0.859 M
a - x = amount left after decay process =?
Putting values in above equation, we get:


Thus the concentration of a after 10.0 minutes is 0.077 M.
A single polarizer will stop 50% of the incoming light.
Answer:
1. Primary or P waves are push and pull waves
2. Secondary, S or Shear Waves are also called transverse wave
3. L or surface waves reach the earth's surface after P and S waves
Answer:
Explanation:
Let the plastic rod extends from - L to + L .
consider a small length of dx on the rod on the positive x axis at distance x . charge on it = λ dx where λ is linear charge density .
It will create a field at point P on y -axis . Distance of point P
= √ x² + .15²
electric field at P due to small charged length
dE = k λ dx x / (x² + .15² )
Its component along Y - axis
= dE cosθ where θ is angle between direction of field dE and y axis
= dE x .15 / √ x² + .15²
= k λ dx .15 / (x² + .15² )³/²
If we consider the same strip along the x axis at the same position on negative x axis , same result will be found . It is to be noted that the component of field in perpendicular to y axis will cancel out each other . Now for electric field due to whole rod at point p , we shall have to integrate the above expression from - L to + L
E = ∫ k λ .15 / (x² + .15² )³/² dx
= k λ x L / .15 √( L² / 4 + .15² )
