Initially 100 milligrams of a radioactive substance was present. After 8 hours the mass had decreased by 2%. If the rate of decay is proportional to the amount of the substance present at time t, determine the half-life of the radioactive substance. (Round your answer to one decimal place.)

Answers

Answer 1

For initial 100 milligrams of a radioactive substance was if decreased by 2% in 8 hours, then half-life of the radioactive substance is 108.3 hours.

Rate of change is the change in one variable due to change in other.

Given the following:

Amount of a radioactive substance initially present=100mg

After 8 hours, mass decreased by 2%

Mass after 8 hours= 100-(2% of 100)

=100-(2*100/100)

=100-2

=98

The rate of decay is proportional to the amount of the substance present at time t.

Mathematically,

Let the amount of radioactive substance is A and at time t,

[tex]\dfrac d{dt}A\ \alpha\ A\\\\[/tex]

[tex]\dfrac d{dt}A= kA\\\\\\dA=kAdt[/tex]

On integrating both sides,

[tex]\int \frac {1}{kA}dA=\int dt\\\\[/tex]

[tex]\dfrac {ln A}{k}=t +ln \ c_1\\ln A =kt+k\ ln \ c_1\\[/tex]

On taking antilogarithm both sides,

[tex]e^{ln A} =e^{kt+k\ ln \ c_1\\A=e^{kt}e^{k\ ln \ c_1}\\A=e^{kt}e^{\ ln \ c_1^k}\\A=e^{kt}c_1^k \\[/tex]

Let, [tex]c_1^k=c[/tex]

[tex]A =e^{kt}c[/tex].................................1

At t=0, A=100

Substituting values in 1

[tex]100= e^0c\\c=100[/tex]

At t= 8, A=98

[tex]98=e^{k8}100\\0.98=e^{8k}\\8k=ln0.98[/tex]

k=-0.0064.

To determine the half time of the decay.

At half time A became A/2=50 mg

Substituting in 1.

[tex]50=e^{-0.0064t}100\\ln 0.5=-0.0064t\\t=\frac{ln 0.5}{-0.0064}\\t=108.3042\\t=108.3[/tex]....................................rounded to one decimal place.

Thus, The half-life of the radioactive substance is 108.3 hr.

If the surface area of the box in the diagram is 204.25 square feet, what is the value of ‘x’?

the height is 6.5ft
what would x
A. 3 ft
B. 2.25 ft
C. 4.5 ft
D. 5 ft

Answers

Note: Consider x be the breadth of the box.

Given:

The surface area of the box is 204.25 square feet.

Length of the box = 10 ft

Breadth of the box = x ft

Height of the box = 6.5 ft

To find:

The value of x.

Solution:

The surface area of a cuboid is:

[tex]SA=2(lb+bh+hl)[/tex]

Where, l is length, b is breadth and h is height of the cuboid.

Putting [tex]SA=204.25,  l=10,\ b=x,\ h=6.5[/tex] in the above formula, we get

[tex]204.25=2(10\times x+x\times 6.5+6.5\times 10)[/tex]

[tex]204.25=2(10x+6.5x+65)[/tex]

[tex]204.25=2(16.5x+65)[/tex]

Using distributive property, we get

[tex]204.25=2(16.5x)+2(65)[/tex]

[tex]204.25=33x+130[/tex]

[tex]204.25-130=33x[/tex]

[tex]74.25=33x[/tex]

Divide both sides by 33.

[tex]\dfrac{74.25}{33}=x[/tex]

[tex]2.25=x[/tex]

Therefore, the correct option is B.

Therefore area will be

Area = 22.2π × 45 inches²

Area = 3137 inches²

Therefore,

1 square foot = 1foot × 1foot = 12inches×12inches

a bag contains 15 new batteries and 10 use batteries if Heather randomly so what's two batteries from the bag without replacement what is the probability that she will select a used battery and then a new battery​

Answers

Answer:

1/4

Step-by-step explanation:

Probability is the number of desirable outcomes divided by the number of total outcomes. We can tell these events depend on each other because the batteries are picked without replacement. To find the probability of two dependent events, event that depend on each other, we can find the probability of the first event and the probability of the second event happens if the first is given and multiply them. In this case, the first event is selecting a used battery and the second is picking a new battery.

The total number of outcomes the basically the total amount of batteries that can be chosen. This is 15 + 10 or 25 outcomes. 10 of these batteries are used, and that would correspond to the amount of desirable outcomes because we want to pick a used one. From this, we can say the probability of picking a used battery is 10/25 which simplifies to 2/5.

To find the probability of picking a new battery after picking a used one, we can start by stating the amounts of each battery before the second draw. Since we already picked a used battery, our new totals will be 24 batteries, which 9 are used and 15 are new. Now, we can do the same thing a before, the number of desirable outcomes over the total. We get 15/24 which simplifies to 5/8.

To find the total probability, we multiply the two getting: 2/5 * 5/8 = 1/4.

Angle 1= 180 - Angle 4

Angle 1 = 180-73=107°

We found this coz the Angle 1 and 4 are on the same line which will form a straight angle.

hence, Angle 4 and 2 = 73°

Mrs. Bollo's second grade class of thirty students conducted a pet ownership survey. Results of the survey indicate that 8 students own a cat, 15 students own a dog, and 5 students own both a cat and a dog. How many of the students surveyed own only a cat?
a) 18
b) 15
c) None of these answers
d) 8

Answers

Answer:

c) None of these answers

Step-by-step explanation:

8 students own a cat

In this, we count the students who own both a dog and a cat, and the students who own only a cat.

5 students own both a cat and a dog.

So of the 8 who own a cat, 5 own both a cat and a dog, and 8 - 5 = 3 own only a cat.

So the correct answer is given by option c, as 3 is not an option.

a. Yes, there was a significant difference between Morning (M= 32), and Evening (M=40.625), (t [7] = .28, p < .05).
b. No, there was no difference between Morning (M= 32), and Evening (M=40.625), (t [7] = 1.15, p > .05).
c. Yes, there was a significant difference between Morning (M= 32), and Evening (M=40.625), (t [7] = 1.15 p < .05).
d. No, there was no difference between Morning (M= 32), and Evening (M=40.625), (t [7] = 1.15, p < .05).

Answers

Answer:

b. No, there was no difference between Morning (M= 32), and Evening (M=40.625), (t [7] = 1.15, p > .05).

Step-by-step explanation:

The critical value for one tailed test is t ∝(7) > 1.895

A one tailed test is performed to test the claim that advertisements were viewed more in the morning (before noon) or in the evening (after 5pm)

The null and alternative hypotheses are

H0: μm = μe   vs     Ha μm > μe

where μm is the mean of the morning and μe is the mean of evening.

The calculated value of t = -1.152587077  which is less than the critical region hence the null hypothesis cannot be rejected .

P(T<=t) one-tail 0.143458126 > 0.05

If two tailed test is performed the critical region is t Critical two-tail 2.364624252

and the calculated t value is  -1.152587077  which again does not lie in the critical region .

Hence μm =  μe or    μm ≤ μe

P(T<=t) two-tail 0.286916252  > 0.025

Therefore

b. No, there was no difference between Morning (M= 32), and Evening (M=40.625), (t [7] = 1.15, p > .05).

Option b gives the best answer.
