Answer:
2.5 m/s
Explanation:
The speed of the animal is given by the ratio between the distance travelled by the animal and the time elapsed:
where d is the distance travelled and t the time elapsed. Note that this quantity is also equal to the slope of the curve.
In the time interval 0-20 s, we have
d = 50 m - 0 m = 50 m
t = 20 s - 0 s = 20 s
So, the speed is
Answer:
A 1.0 min
Explanation:
The half-life of a radioisotope is defined as the time it takes for the mass of the isotope to halve compared to the initial value.
From the graph in the problem, we see that the initial mass of the isotope at time t=0 is
The half-life of the isotope is the time it takes for half the mass of the sample to decay, so it is the time t at which the mass will be halved:
We see that this occurs at t = 1.0 min, so the half-life of the isotope is exactly 1.0 min.
