Answer:
It is independent of the path of the body and depends only on the starting and ending points.
Explanation:
In Physics we define a conservative force as a force that is independent of the path of the body and depends only on the starting and ending points.
For conservative forces we can write;
KEi + PEi = KEf +PEf
where;
KEi= initial kinetic energy
PEi= initial potential energy
KEf= final kinetic energy
PEf= final potential energy
This equation is known as the principle conservation of mechanical energy . It applies only to conservative forces where friction is negligible. The term KE + PE is also known as the total mechanical energy of the system.
Place mixtuer into water. stir mixture into water, wait untill salt is disoldved. Strain out grain. boil water intill only salt is left. Hope this helps! ^-^
How many times did the original sample lose 50% of its radioactivity ?
-- Start with. . . . . . . . . . . . 12 grams.
-- Lose half of it once. . . . . . 6 grams left.
-- Lose half of it again . . . . . 3 grams left.
-- Lose half of it again . . . . . 1.5 grams left.
-- Lose half of it again . . . . . 0.75 gram left.
-- How many times did it lose half ? 4 times.
-- How long does it take to lose half ? 4.5 days.
(That's why it's called the 'half-life'.)
-- How long did it take to lose half, 4 times ?
(4 x 4.5 days) = 18 days .
