In the photo, a locomotive has broken through the wall of a train station. During the collision, what can be said about the forc

Pavlova-9 [17]3 years ago

Answer:

Whether the force exerted by the locomotive on the wall was larger

Than the force the locomotive could exert on the wall.

Explanation:

The Newton's third law of motion States that every force have it's equal and opposite reaction force, whose magnitude is the same as the applied force. Therefore the magnitude of these opposite forces will be equal.

So we have;

F12=-F21

F12 is the force in a direction

-F21 is the force in the opposite direction.

Therefore we see that the magnitude of the force the locomotive exerts on the wall is equal to the one the wall exerts on the locomotive. Both magnitudes are equal but in opposite directions.

Convert the number from scientific into standard notation: 5.9 x 10-2
guapka [62]
Move the decimal point to:
Left : (if the exponent of ten is a negative number -) ... OUR CASE HERE (-2)
or to
Right : (if the exponent is positive +).

You should move the point as many times as the exponent indicates.
Do not write the power of ten anymore.

So, standard form is:
Two points to the left {Exponent of Ten is Negative (-2)}
0.059 ... (without the 10)

An unknown radioactive sample is observed to decrease in activity by a factor of two in a one hour period. What is its half-life
elena55 [62]

Answer:

The half-life is t_{1/2} = 1.005 h

Explanation:

Using the decay equation we have:

A=A_{0}e^{-\lambda t}

Where:

  • λ is the decay constant
  • A(0) the initial activity
  • A is the activity at time t

We know the activity decrease by a factor of two in a one hour period (t = 1 h), it means that A = \frac{A_{0}}{2}

\frac{A_{0}}{2}=A_{0}e^{-\lambda*1 h}

0.5=e^{-\lambda*1 h}

Taking the natural logarithm on each side we have:

ln(0.5)=-\lambda

\lambda=0.69 h^{-1}

Now, the relationship between the decay constant λ and the half-life t(1/2) is:

\lambda = \frac{ln(2)}{t_{1/2}}

t_{1/2} = \frac{ln(2)}{\lambda}

t_{1/2} = \frac{ln(2)}{0.69}

t_{1/2} = 1.005 h

I hope it helps you!
