Answer:

1/8 = (1/2)^3

This implies the sample has decayed for 3 half lives

3 * 5730 yrs = 17,200 years

Two equal resistors are connected in series with a 1.50V battery. In order to keep the current at 0.030 A, the resistors much ea
AlexFokin [52]

Answer: 25 Ohms

Explanation:

From this question, the following parameters are given:

Voltage V = 1.5 v

Current I = 0.03A

From Ohm's law;

V = IR

Where R = resultant resistance of the two resistors.

Substitute V and I into the formula and make resultant R the subject of formula.

1.5 = 0.03 × R

R = 1.5/0.03

R = 50 Ohms

From the question, it is given that Thr two equal resistors are connected in series.

R = R1 + R2

But R1 = R2

50 = 2R1

R1 = 50/2

R1 = 25

R1 = R2 = 25 Ohms

Therefore, the resistors must each have a value of 25 Ohms
