A child is sliding down a slide at the playgound. is mechanicalenergy conserved

Flauer [41]

No. Mechanical energy is not conserved. There's quite a bit of friction on the slide. So some of the potential energy is lost to heat on the way down, and the child arrives at the bottom with hot pants and less kinetic energy than you might expect.

Why is the perfect mechine is not possible in the real life?

Vinvika [58]

Answer:

Because the mechanical advantage of the machine is affected by friction and weight but velocity ratio is not. So, mechanical advantage is less than velocity rate. Thus, the machine's efficiency is less than 100% and can't be a perfect machine

Uranium-235 decays to thorium-231 with a half-life of 700 million years. When a rock was formed, it contained 6400 million urani

Dahasolnce [82]

Answer:

proof in explanation

Explanation:

First, we will calculate the number of half-lives:

$n = \frac{t}{t_{1/2}}$

where,

n = no. of half-lives = ?

t = total time passed = 2100 million years

$t_{1/2}$ = half-life = 700 million years

Therefore,

$n = \frac{2100\ million\ years}{700\ million\ years}\\\\n = 3$

Now, we will calculate the number of uranium nuclei left ( $n_u$ ):

$n_u = \frac{1}{2^{n} }(total\ nuclei)\\\\n_u = \frac{1}{2^{3} }(6400\ million)\\\\n_u = \frac{1}{8}(6400\ million)\\\\n_u = 800\ million$

and the rest of the uranium nuclei will become thorium nuclei ( $u_{th}$ )

$n_{th} = total\ nuclei - n_u\\n_{th} = 6400\ million-800\ million\\n_{th} = 5600\ million$

dividing both:

$\frac{n_{th}}{n_u}=\frac{5600\ million}{800\ million} \\\\n_{th} = 7n_u$

<u>Hence, it is proven that after 2100 million years there are seven times more thorium nuclei than uranium nuclei in the rock.</u>
