Answer:

PO(1) = PO(0) / 2 1 refers to 1 half life of PO(0)

PO(2) = PO(1) / 2 = P(0) / 4 amount of PO left after 2 half-lives

PO(3) = PO(2) / 2 = PO(0) / 8 amount of PO left after 3 half-lives

414 da / 138 da = 3 3 half-lives pass in 414 da

PO(0) = 8 PO(3) = 8 * 1.45E-4 g = 1.16E-3 g = .00116 g after 414 days

A beam of unpolarized light with intensity I0 falls first upon a polarizer with transmission axis θTA,1 then upon a second polar

loris [4]

Answer:

The intensity I₂ of the light beam emerging from the second polarizer is zero.

Explanation:

Given:

Intensity of first polarizer = Io/2

For the second polarizer, the intensity is equal:

$I_{2} =\frac{I_{o} }{2} (cos\theta )^{2} =\frac{I_{o} }{2} (cos90)^{2} =0$

If a 950 kg car has 30,400 J of kinetic energy, how fast is it moving?

abruzzese [7]

Hello

The kinetic energy K of a moving object is:
$K= \frac{1}{2} m v^2$
where m is the mass and v the velocity of the object.
Using this formula, we can calculate v for this problem:
$v= \sqrt{ \frac{2E}{m} }= \sqrt{ \frac{2\cdot30400~J}{950~Kg} } = 8~m/s$
