Element X is a radioactive isotope such that every 51 years, its mass decreases by half. Given that the initial mass of a sample of Element X is 7500 grams, how long would it be until the mass of the sample reached 6900 grams, to the nearest tenth of a year?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer: It will take 6 years for 7500 grams of X to reach 6900 grams.

Step-by-step explanation:

Expression for rate law for first order kinetics is given by:

[tex]t=\frac{2.303}{k}\log\frac{a}{a-x}[/tex]

where,

k = rate constant  

t = age of sample

a = let initial amount of the reactant  

a - x = amount left after decay process  

a) for completion of half life:  

Half life is the amount of time taken by a radioactive material to decay to half of its original value.

[tex]51=\frac{0.69}{k}[/tex]

[tex]k=\frac{0.69}{51}=0.0135years^{-1}[/tex]

b) for  7500 g to reach to 6900 g

[tex]t=\frac{2.303}{0.0135}\log\frac{7500}{6900}[/tex]

[tex]t=6years[/tex]

It will take 6 years for 7500 grams of X to reach 6900 grams.

Зу + 9x = 12
y=mx+b

Answers

Answer:

y = -3x + 4

Step-by-step explanation:

3y + 9x = 12

subtract 9x

3y = 12 - 9x

divide by 3 on both sides

y = 4 - 3x

or

y = -3x + 4

Answer:

y=-3x + 4

Step-by-step explanation:

Convert standard form equation into y-intercept form

3y +9x=12

3y= 12-9x

Divide both sides by 3 to isolate the y (you can flip the equation if it is easier)

y= -3x+4

Chase caught 2/3 of the balls hit to left field. Ryan caught 3/5 of the balls hit to right field. Which pair of equivalent fractions will help them find the total amount of the balls they both caught?

Answers

Answer:

1 4/15 balls

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question, we are told that:

Chase caught 2/3 of the balls hit to left field.

Ryan caught 3/5 of the balls hit to right field.

The Lowest common denominator for both fraction is given as 15

Hence, the equivalent fractions for each boy is calculated such that the denominators of both fraction is 15

For Chase:

We Multiply both numerator and Denominator by 5

2 × 5 /3 × 5 = 10/15

2/5 = 10/15

For Ryan

We Multiply both numerator and Denominator by 3

3 × 3 /5 × 3 = 9/15

3/5 = 9/15

The total amount of the balls they both caught is:

10/15 + 9/15

= 19/15 = 1 4/15

Jayanti takes shortest route to her home by walking diagonally across a rectangular park. The park measures 60 meters ×80 meters. How much shorter is the root across the park than the route around its edges?

Pls help!!! It's due today in about 6 hours!!!!! I would also like a proper explanation instead of the answer itself!!!!

Answers

Answer:

The route across the park is 40 meter shorter than the route around its edges.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have to calculate the distance for both routes

As the route around the edges is straight,  we have to find the sum of length of both edges

Let [tex]R_E[/tex] be the distance of route around edges

[tex]R_E = 80+60 = 140\ meters[/tex]

Now we know that a diagonal divides a rectangle in two right angled triangles in which the diagonal is the hypotenuse.

We can use Pythagoras theorem to find the length of the diagonal

So,

[tex]H^2 = P^2 + B^2[/tex]

In the given scenario

P = 60

B = 80

Now

[tex]H^2 = (60)^2 + (80)^2\\H^2 = 3600+6400\\H^2 = 10000\\\sqrt{H^2} = \sqrt{10000}\\H = 100\ meters[/tex]

In order to calculate that how much shorter is the path across the park, we have to subtract the distance across park from the distance across edges.

[tex]= 140-100 = 40\ meters[/tex]

Hence,

The route across the park is 40 meter shorter than the route around its edges.

A baker made 9 cupcakes, each a different type. Four people want to share them equally. How many cupcakes will each person get? DIvide and use in fraction form.

Answers

Answer: 2 1/4

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question, we are informed that a baker made 9 cupcakes which are to be shared equally by four people.

To get the number of cupcakes that each person gets, we divide the total number of cupcakes by the total number of people. This would be:

= 9 ÷ 4

= 2 1/4 cupcakes

Therefore, each person gets 2 1/4 cupcakes.

Answer:

x = 20°y = 70°

Step-by-step explanation:

The hash marks indicate that the lower triangle is isosceles. That means its base angles are equal. The external angle marked 40° will be the sum of those two equal angles, so ...

  x + x = 40°

  x = 20°.

x is one of the two acute angles in the right triangle. The other is y, which is the complement of x.

  y = 90° -x = 90° -20°

  y = 70°

_____

Additional comments

The angle marked 40° is one of a "linear pair". The other angle in that pair is the obtuse angle in the lower triangle. Its measure is 180°-40° = 140°. The two base angles of that isosceles triangle are both x°, so you have ...

  x° +x°+140° = 180°

  2x° = 180° -140° = 40°

That is, the sum of the two angles will be equal to the external angle marked 40°. The relevant theorem says "an exterior angle is equal to the sum of the remote interior angles." Remembering this is a useful shortcut, so you don't have to find the third interior angle, which is 140° in this case.

A car dealership has 240 cars in the parking lot and 17.5% of them are wrecked of the other six cars in the lot each color has the same number of cars every one of the colors black how many black cars are there in total total

Answers

Answer:

33 cars

Step-by-step explanation:

The computation of the number of black cars in total is shown below:

Given that

There is a car dealership of 240 cars

And,17.5% of them are wrecked

So, the wrecked cars is

= 17.5% of 240 cars

= 42

Now the number of other cars would be

= 240 - 42

= 198

And it is mentioned that there are other six colors lot

So the number of black cars would be

= 198 ÷ 6

= 33 cars

What is the Mark the absolute minimum point of the graph

Answers

Answer:

is in the point x = 1, y = -5

Step-by-step explanation:

The absolute minimum of a graph is the point that is the most far below the x-axis.

Such that if we draw a horizontal line parallel to this point, this line should not intersect the graph in another point. It is usually associated with the lowest value of the variable y.

In the graph, we can see that in the extremes we have dots, so the graph does not continue.

Then we can be sure that the absolute minimum is at the bottom of the large curve, that is in the point x = 1, y = -5
