Answer:

~ 20 half lives

Explanation:

(1/2) ^n   = 1/1,000,000     n = number of half-lives

                                        LOG both sides to get

n LOG 1/2 = -6

n = -6/(LOG (1/2)) = 19.931    or approx  20 half lives

A mechanical wave starts when matter is disturbed by a source of ______.
Gwar [14]

Answer:

MATERIAL MEDIUM

Explanation:

Wave is a disturbance that travels through a medium and transfer energy from one point to another without causing any permanent displacement of the medium itself. The two forms of wave are the mechanical wave and the electromagnetic waves.

Mechanical wave is a wave with requires MATERIAL MEDIUM for its propagation. This means that before wave can be propagated at times, material medium is needed e.g a ripple tank. A ripple tank is a mechanical device that generates waves using an instrument called stroboscope attached to it. This kind of wave requires an external source before it can propagate compared to electromagnetic waves that does not require material medium for its propagation.

In a jump spike, a volleyball player slams the ball from overhead and toward the opposite floor. Controlling the angle of the sp
MAVERICK [17]

Answer:

The ball would have landed 3.31m farther if the downward angle were 6.0° instead.

Explanation:

In order to solve this problem we must first start by doing a drawing that will represent the situation. (See picture attached).

We can see in the picture that the least the angle the farther the ball will go. So we need to find the A and B position to determine how farther the second shot would go. Let's start with point A.

So, first we need to determine the components of the velocity of the ball, like this:

V_{Ax}=V_{A}cos\theta

V_{Ax}=(21m/s)cos(-14^{o})

V_{Ax}=20.38 m/s

V_{Ay}=V_{A}sin\theta

V_{Ay}=(21m/s)sin(-14^{o})

V_{Ay}=-5.08 m/s

we pick the positive one, so it takes 0.317s for the ball to hit on point A.

so now we can find the distance from the net to point A with this time. We can find it like this:

x_{A}=V_{Ax}t

x_{A}=(20.38m/s)(0.317s)

x_{A}=6.46m

Once we found the distance between the net and point A, we can similarly find the distance between the net and point B:

V_{Bx}=20.88 m/s

V_{By}=-2.195 m/s

y_{Bf}=y_{B0}+V_{0}t-\frac{1}{2}at^{2}

0=2.1m+(-2.195m/s)t-\frac{1}{2}(-9.8m/s^{2})t^{2}

-4.9t^{2}-2.195t+2.1=0

t=\frac{-b\pm\sqrt{b^{2}-4ac}}{2a}

t=\frac{-(-2.195)\pm\sqrt{(-2.195)^{2}-4(-4.9)(2.1)}}{2(-4.9)}

t= -0.9159s    or   t=0.468s

we pick the positive one, so it takes 0.468s for the ball to hit on point B.

so now we can find the distance from the net to point B with this time. We can find it like this:

x_{B}=V_{Bx}t

x_{B}=(20.88m/s)(0.468s)

x_{B}=9.77m

So once we got the two distances we can now find the difference between them:

x_{B}-x_{A}=9.77m-6.46m=3.31m

so the ball would have landed 3.31m farther if the downward angle were 6.0° instead.

A child’s toy that is made to shoot ping pong balls consists of a tube, a spring (k = 18 N/m) and a catch for the spring that ca
UkoKoshka [18]

Answer:

The height is 3.1m

Explanation:

Here we have a conservation of energy problem, we have a conversion form eslastic potencial  energy to gravitational potencial energy, so:

E_e=\frac{1}{2}K*x^2\\E_e=\frac{1}{2}18N/m*(9.5*10^{-2}m)^2\\E_e=0.081J

then we have only gravitational potencial energy when the ball is at its maximun height.

E_g=m*g*h

because all the energy was transformed Eg=Ee

h=\frac{0.081J}{9.8m/s^2*m}

searching the web, the mass of a ping pong ball is 2.7 gr in average. so:

h=\frac{0.081J}{9.8m/s^2*(2.7*10^{-3}kg)}\\h=3.1m
