Explanation:
The half life is the time taken for half of a radioactive substance to disintegrate.
The shorter the half life, the larger the decay constant and the faster the decay process.
For a very large half life, it would take a very long time for the radioactive nuclide to decay to half.
With each half life reached, a new set of daughter cell is formed. Atoms that have short half life would decay rapidly. Every radionuclide has its own characteristic half-life.
If the number of half-lives increases, then the number of radioactive atoms decreases, because approximately half of the atoms' nuclei decay with each half-life. With this observation, we can hypothesise and conduct experiment to support the assertion that as the number of half-lives increases then the number of radioactive atoms decreases.
Explanation:
Given parameters:
Distance hopped = 84m
Displacement = 84m due east
Time = 7s
Unknown:
Speed of kangaroo = ?
Velocity of kangaroo = ?
Solution:
To solve this problem,
Speed = = = 12m/s
Velocity = = = 12m/s due east
Answer:2.6 h
Explanation:
Given
Total Trip distance=450 miles
Meeting starts after 10.8 hours
safe Fastest speed is 55 mi/h
so if he drives all the to the meeting with max speed then it takes
and total allowable time is 10.8
Therefore longest time he can spend over dinner is
Answer:
a) = 928 J
, b)U = -62.7 J
, c) K = 0
, d) Y = 11.0367 m, e) v = 15.23 m / s
Explanation:
To solve this exercise we will use the concepts of mechanical energy.
a) The elastic potential energy is
= ½ k x²
= ½ 2900 0.80²
= 928 J
b) place the origin at the point of the uncompressed spring, the spider's potential energy
U = m h and
U = 8 9.8 (-0.80)
U = -62.7 J
c) Before releasing the spring the spider is still, so its true speed and therefore the kinetic energy also
K = ½ m v²
K = 0
d) write the energy at two points, maximum compression and maximum height
Em₀ = ke = ½ m x²
= mg y
Emo =
½ k x² = m g y
y = ½ k x² / m g
y = ½ 2900 0.8² / (8 9.8)
y = 11.8367 m
As zero was placed for the spring without stretching the height from that reference is
Y = y- 0.80
Y = 11.8367 -0.80
Y = 11.0367 m
Bonus
Energy for maximum compression and uncompressed spring
Emo = ½ k x² = 928 J
= ½ m v²
Emo =
Emo = ½ m v²
v =√ 2Emo / m
v = √ (2 928/8)
v = 15.23 m / s
Mechanical energy is made when something is moved. The energy that is moving is kinetic. And potential energy is stored energy. Mechanical energy can be used to store energy and to cause moving energy. For instance: a slingshot. Pulling back the band creates potential energy and releasing it creates kinetic energy.
