Answer:

$\huge\boxed{50g}$

Definition:

Half-life- The time taken for half of the radioactive isotopes to decay.

Explanation:

How does radioactive decay work? Radioactive decay is a process by which unstable nuclei become more stable through the emission of alpha or beta particles or gamma rays.

Since a half-life is the time taken for half of the isotopes to decay, we can simply divide the initial mass of 100 grams by 2; this gives us 50 grams.

1) Divide 100g by 2.

$\frac{100g}{2}=50g$

Vikentia [17]

Answer:

(a) Friction force = 50 N

(b) Work done by friction = 300 j

Explanation:

We have given that the box is pulled by 6 meter so d = 6 m

Force applied on the box F = 60 N

We have have given that velocity is constant so acceleration will be zero

So to applied force will be utilized in balancing the friction force

So friction force $F_{friction}=50N$

Work done by friction force $W_{friction}=F_{friction}\times d=50\times 6=300j$

Work done by applied force $W=F\times d=50\times 6=300j$

So net work done = 300-300 = 0 j

A rock dropped on the moon will increase it's speed from 0 m/s to 8.15 m/s in about 5 seconds what is the acceleration of the ro

Lunna [17]

Using the formula:

a = (Vf - Vi) / t

Our initial velocity is 0 m/s, and our final velocity is 8.15 m/s, with a time period of 5 seconds:

a = (8.15 - 0.0) / 5

a = 1.63 m/s^2

If you know the acceleration due to gravity on the Moon, you can confirm this answer. The recorded gravitational acceleration on the Moon is 1.62 m/s^2.

The player that possess the best ball handling skills and usually handles

the ball often is referred to as the point guard.

Point guards in basketball are referred to as the players who have certain

characteristics such as speed ,an excellent ball handling skills and

leadership qualities.

Point guards is similar to the creative midfielder in soccer which helps to

dictate play and create chances for other team mates which is why they

handle the ball often.
