a sample contains 100 g of radioactive isotope. How much radioactive isotope will remain in the sample after 1 half-life?
1 answer:
Answer:
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.

Answer:
mass of box 1 = 2.20 kg
mass of box 2 = 5.93 kg
Explanation:
Let the mass of box 1 and box 2 is respectively
and
so we will have
Force applied on box 1 then acceleration
Now we know that contact force between them in above case is given as
now we have
Hello!
A stretched spring has 5184 J of elastic potential energy and a spring constant of 16,200 N/m. What is the displacement of the spring ?
Data:
For a spring (or an elastic), the elastic potential energy is calculated by the following expression:
Where k represents the elastic constant of the spring (or elastic) and x the deformation or displacement suffered by the spring.
Solving:
Answer:
The displacement of the spring = 0.8 m
