Answer:

it would depend on which element u would be considering

Explanation:

as helium , oxygen , carbon ,sodium and other would be easier while plutonium , americium and other very radioactive elements would be harder

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

In the graph above, how does the acceleration at A compare with the acceleration at B?
abruzzese [7]
This is a speed/time graph.
The slope of the graph at each point is the time rate of change of speed
at that point, and THAT's the definition of the magnitude of acceleration.

The slope of the curve is zero at both ' A ' and ' B ', so acceleration is
zero at both of those points.

That seems to be exactly what choice-c says.

When a slice of buttered toast is accidentally pushed over the edge of a counter, it rotates as it falls. If the distance to the
Serjik [45]

Answer:

a) 5.61 rad/s

b) 16.83 rad/s

Explanation:

Distance to the floor = 79cm = 0.79m

Rotation is <1 revolution

The toast will rotate at an angular speed that is constant while it falls. The toast will also be falling with constant acceleration due to gravity. Using equation of motion, which is

S = ut + 1/2gt²

S = 0 + 1/2gt²

S = gt², where, S = d

0.79 = 9.81t²

t² = 0.79/9.81

t² = 0.081

t = 0.28s

As the toast is accidentally pushed, it rotates as it falls. It will be landing on its edges when and if it hits the ground. The smallest angle here would then be 1/4 of the revolution. This is also the smallest angular speed.

ω(min) = ΔΦ revolution /Δt

ω(min) = 1/4 * 2π / 0.28

ω(min) = 0.5π/0.28

ω(min) = 5.61 rad/s

Since 1/4 of revolution is the minimum angle, the remaining(3/4), is the maximum angle. Thus

ω(max) = 3/4 * 2π / 0.28

ω(max) = 0.75 * 2π / 0.28

ω(max) = 16.83 rad/s

A(n) 77.5 kg astronaut becomes separated from the shuttle, while on a space walk. She finds herself 37.3 m away from the shuttle
NeX [460]

Answer:

Explanation:

The speed of the astronaut can be found with the help of law of conservation of momentum .

mv = MV , M is mass of astronaut , m is mass of object thrown , v is velocity of object thrown and V is velocity of  astronaut.

Putting the values

77.5 x V = .94 x 12

V = .14554 m /s

This will be the uniform velocity of astronaut.

Distance to be covered = 37.3 m

time taken = distance / velocity

= 37.3 / .14554

= 256.28 s

= 4.27 minutes.
