lys-0071 [83]2 years ago
7 0

Answer:

4 hrs

Explanation:

625 = 5000 (1/2)^n

625/5000 = 1/2^n

n = 3 half lives

3 half lives = 12 hours       1 half life = 4 hrs

A magnet has stronger force of attraction at the poles than in the middle why? ​
seraphim [82]

Answer:

The molecular magnets are arranged in an open chain so that the north pole or the south pole of the molecular magnets lie in the same direction which gives strong force at the poles whereas two opposite poles are arranged at the middle and the force cancel each other. So, poles have more force than the middle portion.

Aristotle, the ancient Greek philosopher, thought that heavy objects fall to Earth faster than lighter objects. How could Aristo
Tom [10]
Gravitational potential energy=mass of object x gravitational field strength on earth(9.8 usually rounded to 10) x the height the object is held at

Therefore if two objects were held at the same height, the object with more mass(the heavier object) will fall faster because it's gravitational potential energy is greater than that of the lighter object

A satellite moves in a stable circular orbit with speed Vo at a distance R from the center of a planet. For this satellite to mo
slava [35]

Answer:

The new speed must be \frac{V_0}{\sqrt{2}}

Explanation:

In order for the satellite to be on a stable orbit around the planet, the gravitational attraction must be equal to the centripetal force that keeps the satellite in circular motion:

G \frac{Mm}{R^2}= m\frac{V_0^2}{R}

where G is the gravitational constant, M is the mass of the planet, m is the mass of the satellite, V0 the speed of the satellite at distance R from the center of the planet.

We can re-write V0, the initial satellite speed, by re-arranging the equation:

V_0 = \sqrt{\frac{GM}{R}}

Now, if we want the satellite to orbit at a distance of 2R, the new tangential speed must be:

V' = \sqrt{\frac{GM}{2R}}=\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}} \sqrt{\frac{GM}{R}}= \frac{V_0}{\sqrt{2}}
