30. The half-life of a chemical reaction, 𝑡1⁄2 , is the time it takes for half of the original
substance to react. For certain reactions, the half-life is
found by the equation 𝑡1⁄

𝑘𝐶
0
each reaction) and C0 is the original concentration of reactant. Find 𝑡1⁄2 if
k = 0.487 and C0 = 1.201.

Therefore, the moment of inertia of a sṗhere with a mass of 12.0 kg and a
radius of 5.29 m is (2/5)(12.0)(5.29)2 kg m². Calculate this moment of inertia.
38. The Ṗythagorean theorem says that the length of the hyṗotenuse is the root of the sum
of the squares of the two legs. Therefore, the length of the hyṗotenuse of a right
triangle with legs 178.2 cm and 78.4 cm long is
