mestny [16]2 years ago
8 0

Answer:

No

Explanation:

It will never decay to zero

after one half life there is 1/2 left

  after the next half life thee is   1/2 * 1/2 = 1/4 left

     then 1/8th    then  1/16 th   then   1/32     1/64     1/128 ........to infinity  

        while htere is a VERY small amount left , there will never be ZERO left

Determine the stopping distances for a car with an initial speed of 88 km/h and human reaction time of 2.0 s for the following a
seropon [69]

Explanation:

Given that,

Initial speed of the car, u = 88 km/h = 24.44 m/s

Reaction time, t = 2 s

Distance covered during this time, d=24.44\times 2=48.88\ m

(a) Acceleration, a=-4\ m/s^2

We need to find the stopping distance, v = 0. It can be calculated using the third equation of motion as :

s=\dfrac{v^2-u^2}{2a}

s=\dfrac{-(24.44)^2}{2\times -4}

s = 74.66 meters

s = 74.66 + 48.88 = 123.54 meters

(b) Acceleration, a=-8\ m/s^2

s=\dfrac{v^2-u^2}{2a}

s=\dfrac{-(24.44)^2}{2\times -8}

s = 37.33 meters

s = 37.33 + 48.88 = 86.21 meters

Hence, this is the required solution.

Two metal spheres are suspended from strings. The
nikdorinn [45]

Answer:

B. A repulsive force of 8.0*10^3 N.

Explanation:

As we know by Coulomb's law that the electrostatic force between two charges is given as

F = \frac{kq_1q_2}{r^2}

here we know that

q_1 = -2 \times 10^2 C

q_2 = -4 \times 10^{-8} C

r = 3.0 m

now we have

F = \frac{(9 \times 10^9)(2 \times 10^2)(4\times 10^{-8})}{3^2}

F = 8000 N

since both charges are similar charges so they will repel each other by the force we calculated above so correct answer will be

B. A repulsive force of 8.0*10^3 N.

A table tennis ball has a mass of about 2.45 g. Suppose the ball is hit across the table with a speed of 4.0 m/s. What is it’s k
cluponka [151]

Answer:

0.0196 j

Explanation:

i) The formula for kinetic energy is as follows: 0.5*m*v^2

ii) Since we have all the values all that's left is to plug them into the equation

iii) First, WE MUST, Convert grams into kgs as this is the SI unit of mass so 2.45/1000

iv) All that's left now is to plug it into the equation so:

0.5* (s.45/1000)*(4^2)

v) Lastly we add the unit joules at the end as we're talking about energy

Hope this was useful! :)
