Answer:

Drilling into the seafloor off Mexico, scientists have extracted a unique geologic record of the single worst day in the history of life on Earth, when a city-sized asteroid smashed into the planet 65 million years ago, wiping out the dinosaurs and three-quarters of all other life.

Their analysis of these new rock samples from the Chicxulub crater, made public Monday, reveals a parfait of debris deposited in layers almost minute-by-minute at the heart of the impact during the first day of a global catastrophe. It records traces of the explosive melting, massive earthquakes, tsunamis, landslides and wildfires as the immense asteroid blasted a hole 100 miles wide and 12 miles deep, the scientists said.

Nuclear decay occurs according to first-order kinetics. How long will it take for a sample of radon-218 to decay from 99 grams t
dedylja [7]

It will take 267 milliseconds for a sample of radon-218 to decay from 99 grams to 0. 50 grams.

We know that half life of a first order reaction is given by: t_{1/2} = 0.693/k

where k = rate of reaction

Given half life = 35 milliseconds

So from this we get k = 0.0198

Now we know that rate of first order reaction is given by: kt= 2.303 * log(R'/R)

where t= time

R'= initial amount = 99 g

R= final amount= 0.50 g

k= rate of reaction = 0.0198

Putting values of these in above equation we get t=267 milliseconds.

i.e. It will take 267 milliseconds for a sample of radon-218 to decay from 99 grams to 0. 50 grams.

Create the following matrix H:
sladkih [1.3K]

Answer:

a) {[1.25  1.5  1.75  2.5  2.75]

    [35  30  25  20  15]  }

b) {[1.5  2  40]

    [1.75  3  35]

    [2.25  2  25]

    [2.75  4  15]}

Explanation:

Matrix H: {[1.25  1.5  1.75  2  2.25  2.5  2.75]

                [1  2  3  1  2  3  4]

                [45  40  35  30  25  20  15]}

Its always important to get the dimensions of your matrix right. "Roman Columns" is the mental heuristic I use since a matrix is defined by its rows first and then its column such that a 2 X 5 matrix has 2 rows and 5 columns.

Next, it helps in the beginning to think of a matrix as a grid, labeling your rows  with letters (A, B, C, ...) and your columns with numbers (1, 2, 3, ...).

For question a, we just want to take the elements A1, A2, A3, A6 and A7 from matrix H and make that the first row of matrix G. And then we will take the elements B3, B4, B5, B6 and B7 from matrix H as our second row in matrix G.

For question b, we will be taking columns from matrix H and making them rows in our matrix K. The second column of H looks like this:

{[1.5]

[2]

[40]}

Transposing this column will make our first row of K look like this:

{[1.5  2  40]}

Repeating for columns 3, 5 and 7 will give us the final matrix K as seen above.

A solid cylindrical object has a mass of 2.0 kg, a diameter
omeli [17]

Answer:

I = 0.0025 kg.m²

Explanation:

Given that

m= 2 kg

Diameter ,d= 0.1 m

Radius ,R=\dfrac{d}{2}

R=\dfrac{0.1}{2}

R=0.05 m

The moment of inertia of the cylinder about it's axis same as the disc and it is given as

I=\dfrac{mR^2}{2}

Now by putting the all values

I=\dfrac{2\times 0.05^2}{2}

I = 0.0025 kg.m²

Therefore we can say that the moment of inertia of the cylinder will be  0.0025 kg.m².

Weddell seals make holes in sea ice so that they can swim down to forage on the ocean floor below. Measurements for one seal sho
Mariulka [41]

Answer:

B. 1 m/s

Explanation:

Metric unit conversions:

0.3 km = 300m

5 minutes = 5*60 = 300 seconds

So if a seal can reach a depth of 300m in a time of 300 seconds, its diving speed is the distance divided by time duration

v = s/t = 300/300 = 1m/s

So B is the correct answer
