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.

Answer:

Slope of the graph is steeper.

The answer is: [tex]\mathbf{Slope=\frac{1}{3}}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

First we will find slope of the graph.

The formula used to find slope is: [tex]Slope=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}[/tex]

We need to find two points from the graph to find the slope.

Let we take point 1 (-2,1) and point 2 (1,2)

We will have: [tex]x_1=-2, y_1=1, x_2=1, y_2=2[/tex]

Now finding slope of the graph

[tex]Slope=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}\\Slope=\frac{2-1}{1-(-2)} \\Slope=\frac{2-1}{1+2}\\Slope=\frac{1}{3}[/tex]

So, slope of the graph is: [tex]\mathbf{Slope=\frac{1}{3}}[/tex]

Now, we will find slope of Linear function.

It has x-intercept of 1 and y-intercept of -2

x-intercept means y=0

So, the point will be: (1,0)

y-intercept means x=0

So, the point will be: (0,-2)

We will have: [tex]x_1=1, y_1=0, x_2=0, y_2=-2[/tex]

Putting values and finding slope

[tex]Slope=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}\\Slope=\frac{-2-0}{0-(1)} \\Slope=\frac{-2-0}{0+1}\\Slope=\frac{-2}{1}\\Slope=-2[/tex]

So, the slope of linear function is: [tex]\mathbf{Slope=-2}[/tex]

Now, we need to find which of the slope is steeper.

The larger the value of slope, more steeper it is:

Now, comparing the slopes:

The slope of the graph is: [tex]\mathbf{Slope=\frac{1}{3}}[/tex]

The slope of linear function is: [tex]\mathbf{Slope=-2}[/tex]

We know that, [tex]\frac{1}{3}>-2[/tex]

So, Slope of the graph is steeper.

The answer is: [tex]\mathbf{Slope=\frac{1}{3}}[/tex]

Maria is in the state park riding her bike on the new bike trail. She starts at the beginning of the trail and rides for 4 miles. After the first 4 miles, her friend Aiden joins her and they ride the rest of the trail. By the end of the trail, Maria has been riding for two and half hours, while Aiden has been riding for two hours. Assuming they are both riding their bikes at a constant speed the entire time, how long is the bike trail?​

Answers

Answer:

20 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

If Maria has been riding for 2 1/2 hours and Aiden only for 2. That means that the first 4 miles she rode alone was for 1/2 hour. So that is the rate.

1/2 hour for every 4 miles

Maria rode for 2 1/2 hours divided by 1/2 hours is 5. So 5 x 4mi = 20 miles

Answer:

20 miles

because 4 miles= 1/2 hr

Step-by-step explanation:

142+38=180- one side

180-142=38

Answers:

angle 2 = 38 degreesangle 3 = 142 degreesangle 4 = 38 degrees

========================================================

Explanation:

Angle 1 is given to be 142 degrees. Angle 3 is equal to this measure since vertical angles are congruent. Vertical angles are angles that form when you have an X shape like this. They are opposite angles.

Angles 2 and 4 are the other pair of congruent vertical angles. This means angle 2 = angle 4.

Note how angle 1 and angle 2 form a straight line. These two angles add to 180.

(angle1) + (angle2) = 180

(142) + (angle2) = 180

angle2 = 180-142

angle2 = 38 degrees

angle 4 is also 38 degrees since angles 2 and 4 are a congruent vertical angle pairing.

Answers

Answer:

5 guests: 6 slices 10 guests: 3 slices 15 guests : 2 slices

Step-by-step explanation:

So, we have 30 slices of pizza and 5, 10, and 15 slices

So , we need to divide 30 by each of the guests

30÷5=6

30÷10=3

30÷15=2

We can also heck by multiplying teh guests by our answer

5*6=30 ✔️

10*3=30✔️

15*2=30✔️

So, for 5 guests, each oione gets 6 slices

For 10 guests, each guest gets 3 slices

For 15 guests, each guest gets 2 slices

given mtw=bgk find the values of x and y

Answers

Answer:

x = 12

y = 8

Step-by-step explanation:

to solve for x you would set up your equation:

4x - 3 = 45

then solve using algebra:

4x - 3 = 45

4x = 48

x = 12

to solve for y set up your equation as:

11y + 6 = 94

TO GET 94: you will need to subtract 41 and 45 from 180 to get 94.

(each triangle equals 180 and we need the 3rd measure)

solve the equation:

11y + 6 = 94

11y = 88

y = 8

L is the

length of one side of the pasture

Given

L = 2x³

Area of the pasture = (2x³)²

Area of the pasture =2x³•2x³
