Answer:

B. Decrease the plane’s speed and height

Explanation:

Decrease in speed of plane:

When the speed of the plane is decreased then initial velocity of the package will be lesser. As a result, final velocity will also be lesser because in this case final velocity depends upon the initial velocity.

Decrease in height:

According to law of conservation of energy:

Loss in potential energy = Gain in Kinetic energy  

                                 mgh = ½ mV^2

It means with the decrease in height less potential energy will be converted to kinetic energy. As package has constant mass so it will gain less velocity.

Answer:

c) 2.02 x 10^16 nuclei

Explanation:

The isotope decay of an atom follows the equation:

ln[A] = -kt + ln[A]₀

<em>Where [A] is the amount of the isotope after time t, k is decay constant, [A]₀ is the initial amount of the isotope</em>

[A] = Our incognite

k is constant decay:

k = ln 2 / Half-life

k = ln 2 / 4.96 x 10^3 s

k = 1.40x10⁻⁴s⁻¹

t is time = 1.98 x 10^4 s

[A]₀ = 3.21 x 10^17 nuclei

ln[A] = -1.40x10⁻⁴s⁻¹*1.98 x 10^4 s + ln[3.21 x 10^17 nuclei]

ln[A] = 37.538

[A] = 2.01x10¹⁶ nuclei remain ≈

<h3>c) 2.02 x 10^16 nuclei</h3>

As the diver jumps, the board bends down. What kind of the energy does the board now have?
Vlada [557]
Hi there!

The energy that is about to or can be released from an object after energy has been transferred to it is called potential energy. In this case, as the diver jumps, potential energy is stored in the board as it bends. The potential energy is then released as kinetic energy when the board springs back up and the diver actually jumps. 

Hope this helps!
