Answer:

Orbital period, T = 1.00074 years

Explanation:

It is given that,

Orbital radius of a solar system planet, r=4\ AU=1.496\times 10^{11}\ m

The orbital period of the planet can be calculated using third law of Kepler's. It is as follows :

T^2=\dfrac{4\pi^2}{GM}r^3

M is the mass of the sun

T^2=\dfrac{4\pi^2}{6.67\times 10^{-11}\times 1.989\times 10^{30}}\times (1.496\times 10^{11})^3    

T^2=\sqrt{9.96\times 10^{14}}\ s

T = 31559467.6761 s

T = 1.00074 years

So, a solar-system planet that has an orbital radius of 4 AU would have an orbital period of about 1.00074 years.

A high-jumper, having just cleared the bar, lands on an air mattress and comes to rest. Had she landed directly on the hard grou
Hoochie [10]

Answer:

e. the air mattress exerts the same impulse, but a smaller net avg force, on the high-jumper than hard-ground.

Explanation:

This is according to the Newton's second law and energy conservation that the force exerted by the hard-ground is more than the force exerted by the mattress.

The hard ground stops the moving mass by its sudden reaction in the opposite direction of impact force whereas the mattress takes a longer time to stop the motion of same mass in a longer time leading to lesser average reaction force.

<u>Mathematical expression for the Newton's second law of motion is given as:</u>

F=\frac{dp}{dt} ............................................(1)

where:

dp = change in momentum

dt = time taken to change the momentum

We know, momentum:

p=m.v

Now, equation (1) becomes:

F=\frac{d(m.v)}{dt}

<em>∵mass is constant at speeds v << c (speed of light)</em>

\therefore F=m.\frac{dv}{dt}

and, \frac{dv}{dt} =a

where: a = acceleration

\Rightarrow F=m.a

also

F\propto \frac{1}{dt}

so, more the time, lesser the force.

<em>& </em><u><em>Impulse:</em></u>

I=F.dt

I=m.a.dt

I=m.\frac{dv}{dt}.dt

I=m.dv=dp

∵Initial velocity and final velocity(=0), of a certain mass is same irrespective of the stopping method.

So, the impulse in both the cases will be same.

What are radioactive isotopes?
melisa1 [442]

Answer:

<em><u>R</u></em><em><u>adioactive isotope</u></em> , also called radioisotope,

radionuclide, or radioactive nuclide, any of

several species of the same chemical element

with different masses whose nuclei are unstable

and dissipate excess energy by spontaneously

emitting radiation in the form of alpha , beta , and

gamma rays .

A brief treatment of radioactive isotopes follows.

For full treatment, see isotope: <u>Radioactive</u>

<u>Radioactiveisotopes.</u>

Every chemical element has one or more

radioactive isotopes. For example, hydrogen, the

lightest element, has three isotopes with mass

numbers 1, 2, and 3. Only hydrogen-3 (tritium ),

however, is a radioactive isotope , the other two

being stable. More than 1,000 radioactive

isotopes of the various elements are known.

Approximately 50 of these are found in nature;

the rest are produced artificially as the direct

products of nuclear reactions or indirectly as the

radioactive descendants of these products.

Radioactive isotopes have many useful

applications. In medicine , for example, cobalt -60

is extensively employed as a radiation source to

arrest the development of cancer. Other

radioactive isotopes are used as tracers for

diagnostic purposes as well as in research on

metabolic processes. When a radioactive isotope

is added in small amounts to comparatively large

quantities of the stable element, it behaves

exactly the same as the ordinary isotope

chemically; it can, however, be traced with a

Geiger counter or other detection device.

Iodine -131 has proved effective in treating

hyperthyroidism. Another medically important

radioactive isotope is carbon-14, which is used in

a breath test to detect the ulcer-causing bacteria

Heliobacter pylori .
