That period of time is called the "half-life" of that particular isotope,
because that's how long it takes for ONE-HALF of it to decay and
turn into some other substance.

So, however much you start out with, you can expect that after one
half-life of time has passed, half of the total amount (50%) has decayed
and turned into other substances, and the other half (50%) remains.

The principle of work states that the ratio of work output to work input is always

snow_lady [41]

Answer:

work output is always less than work input - the ratio is less than 1.

Explanation:

This principle comes from the fact that a machine or system cannot produce more work than is supplied to it, because this would violate the energy conservation law (work is a type of mechanical energy).

In theoretical machines called "ideal machines" the input work is the same as the output work, but these machines are only theoretical because in real applications there is always some type of energy loss, either in heat produced by a machine or processes for its operation, for this reason the output work is always less than the input work.

Regarding the ratio work output to work input:

$\frac{WO}{WI} < 1$

because work input WI is always greater than work output WO.

One of the dangers of tornados and hurricanes is the rapid drop in air pressure that is associated with such storms. Assume that

Rufina [12.5K]

Answer:

45930.52N

Explanation:

Net force = (internal pressure - external pressure)× area of window

Net force = (1.02 - 0.910)atm × 2.03m × 2.03m = 0.11atm × 4.1209m^2 = 0.11 × 101325N/m^2 × 4.1209m^2 = 45930.52N

Explain different types of thermometer and their thermometry substance

Rudiy27

Answer:

Explained below

Explanation:

1) Liquid in glass thermometer: This type of thermometer is used primarily to measure the temperatures from inspection of changes in volume of liquid.

Thermometry substance is mercury or alcohol

2) Gas thermometer: This type is used to measure temperature as a result of changes in gas pressure or volume.

Thermometry substance is Gas.

3) Resistance thermometer: This type is used to measure temperature due to changes in electric resistance.

Thermometry substance is Resistance wire.

4) Thermocouple thermometer: This type is used to measure the temperature due to changes in electrical potential difference occurring between two metal junctions.

Thermometry substance is two wires that are dissimilar.

5) Bimetallic thermometer: This is a type of thermometer that measures temperature by converting temperature into mechanical displacement by making use of Bimetallic strip.

Thermometry substance is two metals that are dissimilar.

Water drips from a shower head (the sprayer at the top of the shower) and falls onto the floor 2.4 m below. The droplets are fal

expeople1 [14]

Answer:

The third drop is 0.26m

Explanation:

The drop 1 impacts at time T is given by:

T=sqrt(2h/g)

T= sqrt[(2×2.4)/9.8]

T= sqrt(4.8/9.8)

T= sqrt(0.4898)

T= 0.70seconds

4th drops starts at dT=0.70/3= 0.23seconds

The interval between the drops is 0.23seconds

Third drop will fall at t= 0.23

h=1/2gt^2

h= 1/2×9.81×(0.23)^2

h= 0.26m
