The answer is Marie Skłodowska Curie (AKA Marie Curie). She <span>lived her life awash in ionizing radiation. She would be carrying bottles of the radium and polonium in the pocket of her coat and put them in her desk drawer. 
So even after a century, her papers are still radioactive. Since the</span><span> most general isotope of radium, which is radium-226, has a half life of 1,601 years.</span>

5. A helicopter scoops a load of water out of a lake, to dump on a forest fire. The helicopter exerts 6480
Strike441 [17]

Answer:

h = 250 m

Explanation:

Given that,

The helicopter exerts 6480  N of force on the water while rising high enough to fly over a mountain.

The helicopter does 1.62\times 10^6\ J of work on the water lifting it.

We need to find how high does it lift the water. Work done is given by :

W=Fh\\\\h=\dfrac{W}{F}\\\\h=\dfrac{1.62\times 10^6}{6480}\\\\h=250\ m

So, it can lift the water to a height of 250 m.

Vlad1618 [11]

Answer:

since each loop is ewuvivalent to one half wave lenght . the length of the string is equal to two halves of a wavelength . put in the form of an equation in the same reasoning also

Evangelista Torricelli was the first person to realize that we live at the bottom of an ocean of air. He correctly surmised that
Radda [10]

Answer:

a)    h = 8.02 10³ m  b) yes

Explanation:

a) The pressure in a fluid is given by

      P = ρ g h

The pressure in this case is the atmospheric pressure, 1.013 105 Pa, let's clear the height (h)

      h = P / ρ g

      h = 1.013 10⁵ / (1.29 9.8)

      h = 8.02 10³ m

b) The height of Mount Everest is 8848 m

It is above this height, according to this model there would be no air to breathe

A flowerpot falls from the ledge of an apartment building. A person in an apartment below, coincidentally holding a stopwatch, n
valkas [14]

Answer

given,

height of window = 4 m

time taken to travel = 1 s

acceleration due to gravity = 9.8 m/s²

s = ut + \dfrac{1}{2}at^2

u = \dfrac{s - \dfrac{1}{2}at^2}{t}

u = \dfrac{4 - \dfrac{1}{2}\times 9.8\times 1^2}{1}

u = -0.905 m/s

initial velocity of ledge v = 0

now,

v² = u² + 2 a s

(-0.905)² = 0 + 2 × 9.8 ×s

s = 0.042 m
