Start with 2,000 grams.
After 1 half-life, 1,000 grams are left.
After another half-life, 500 are left.
After another half-life, 250 are left.
After another half-life, 125 are left.

That was FOUR half-lifes.

X = 4 .

What does it mean when the orbital eccentricity of a planet is close to 1?
ankoles [38]

We have that Zero signifies a perfect circle shape and 1 shows it maximum out of order shape.

From the question we are told

What does it mean when the orbital eccentricity of a planet is close to 1

Generally

Eccentricity

This in its simplest definition means to be eccentric which means to be a bit out of order or for the given subject at hand means to be a bit out of shape

Naturally the Eccentricity that an object possess is defined by two number 0(zero) to 1(one)

Where

Zero signifies a perfect circle shape and 1 shows it maximum out of order shape

A boy drops a ball from an observation tower. The ball hits the ground in 5.0 s. What is the ball's velocity at the time of impa
Orlov [11]
The answer is <span>C. 49 m/s

The kinetic equation is:
v2 = v1 + a * t

v1 - initial velocity
v2 - final velocity
a - gravitational acceleration
t - time

We know:
v2 = ?
v1 = 0 (in free fall
a = 9.8 m/s
t = 5

</span>v2 = v1 + a * t
v2 = 0 + 9.8 * 5
v2 = 0 + 49
v2 = 49 m/s

Two transverse waves travel along the same taut string. Wave 1 is described by y1(x, t) = A sin(kx - ωt), while wave 2 is descri
Vadim26 [7]

Answer:

6) Wave 1 travels in the positive x-direction, while wave 2 travels in the negative x-direction.

Explanation:

What matters is the part kx \pm \omega t, the other parts of the equation don't affect time and space variations. We know that when the sign is - the wave propagates to the positive direction while when the sign is + the wave propagates to the negative direction, but <em>here is an explanation</em> of this:

For both cases, + and -, after a certain time \delta t (\delta t >0), the displacement <em>y</em> of the wave will be determined by the kx\pm\omega (t+\delta t) term. For simplicity, if we imagine we are looking at the origin (x=0), this will be simply \pm \omega (t+\delta t).

To know which side, right or left of the origin, would go through the origin after a time \delta t (and thus know the direction of propagation) we have to see how we can achieve that same displacement <em>y</em> not by a time variation but by a space variation \delta x (we would be looking where in space is what we would have in the future in time). The term would be then k(x+\delta x)\pm\omega t, which at the origin is k \delta x \pm \omega t. This would mean that, when the original equation has kx+\omega t, we must have that \delta x>0 for k\delta x+\omega t to be equal to kx+\omega\delta t, and when the original equation has kx-\omega t, we must have that \delta x for k\delta x-\omega t to be equal to kx-\omega \delta t

<em>Note that their values don't matter, although they are a very small variation (we have to be careful since all this is inside a sin function), what matters is if they are positive or negative and as such what is possible or not .</em>

<em />

In conclusion, when kx+\omega t, the part of the wave on the positive side (\delta x>0) is the one that will go through the origin, so the wave is going in the negative direction, and viceversa.
