Because weight W = M g, the ratio of weights equals the ratio of masses.

(M_m g)/ (M_w g) = [ (p^2 Man )/ (2 K_man)] / [ (p^2 Woman )/ (2 K_woman)

but p's are equal, so

K_m/K_m = (M_w g)/(M_m g) = W_woman / W_man = 450/680 = 0.662

A radioactive substance decays exponentially. A scientist begins with 200 milligrams of a radioactive substance. After 17 hours,
lianna [129]

75.17 mg of the radioactive substance will remain after 24 hours.

Answer:

Explanation:

Any radioactive substance will obey the exponential decay behavior. So according to this behavior, any radioactive substance will be decaying in terms of exponential form of disintegration constant and Time.

Disintegration constant is the rate of decay of radioactive elements. It can be measured using the half life time of the radioactive element .While half life time is the time taken by any radioactive element to decay half of its concentration. Like in this case, at first the scientist took 200 mg then after 17 hours, it got reduced to 100 g. So the half life time of this element is 17 hours.

Then Disintegration constant = 0.6932/Half Life time

Disintegration constant = 0.6932/17=0.041

Then as per the law of disintegration constant:

N = N_{0}e^{-xt}

Here N is the amount of radioactive element remaining at time t and N_{0} is the initial amount of sample, x is the disintegration constant.

So here, N_{0} = 200 mg, x = 0.041 and t = 24 hrs.

N = 200 ×e^{-24*0.041} =75.17 mg.

So 75.17 mg of the radioactive substance will remain after 24 hours.

A gas has an initial volume of 168 cm3 at a temperature of 255 K and a pressure of 1.6 atm. The pressure of the gas decreases to
erastovalidia [21]
Would presume you are asked to find the volume, since there is no second volume.

By General Gas Law:

P₁V₁/T₁ = P₂V₂/T₂

1.6 * 168 /255 = 1.3*V₂/285

V₂ = 1.6 * 168 * 285 / (1.3*255)

V₂ = 231.095

Final volume ≈ 231 cm³

Substance X is placed in a container with substance Y. Both substances are fluids. Substance X initially sinks to the bottom of
Brut [27]

Answer: Option (A) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

Convection is a process in which heat transfers from a hotter substance to a colder substance.

As a result, the substance which is less dense will rise and the more denser substance will sink due to the influence of gravity.

Thus, we can conclude that in the given situation substance X will rise due to convection.

Think about how geothermal energy is captured and used. Explain how geothermal energy shows the flow of thermal energy from hot
kumpel [21]

Answer:

People can capture geothermal energy through: Geothermal power plants, which use heat from deep inside the Earth to generate steam to make electricity. Geothermal heat pumps, which tap into heat close to the Earth's surface to heat water or provide heat for buildings

When the weather is cold, the water or refrigerant heats up as it travels through the part of the loop that's buried underground. Once it gets back above ground, the warmed water or refrigerant transfers heat into the building. The water or refrigerant cools down after its heat is transferred.
