That's right, the correct answer is
<span>A) The isotopes have a long half-life and only remain radioactive for a long time period

The half life of an isotope is the time it takes for the amount of the sample to reduce to half of its initial value. If an isotope has a long half-life, it means it takes a long time to reduce down to a significant level, so it will remain radioactive for a long time period.</span>

A small space probe of mass 170 kg is launched from a spacecraft near Mars. It travels toward the surface of Mars, where it will
alukav5142 [94]

Answer:

The change  in momentum is  \Delta p =   kg \cdot m/s      

Explanation:

From the question we are told that  

       The mass of the probe is  m = 170 kg

       The location of the prob at time t = 22.9 s is  A  =

       The  momentum at time  t = 22.9 s is  p = < 51000, -7000, 0> kg m/s

        The net force on the probe is  F =  N

Generally the change in momentum is mathematically represented as

              \Delta p = F * \Delta t

The initial time is   22.6 s

 The final time  is  22.9 s

             Substituting values  

           \Delta p =  * (22.9 - 22.6)

            \Delta p =  * (0.3)  

              \Delta p =   kg \cdot m/s

Light does not pass through some materials. What do you think happens
Hatshy [7]

Answer:

When an electron is hit by a photon of light, it absorbs the quanta of energy the photon was carrying and moves to a higher energy state. One way of thinking about this higher energy state is to imagine that the electron is now moving faster, (it has just been "hit" by a rapidly moving photon)

A photon is a quantum of EM radiation. Its energy is given by E = hf and is related to the frequency f and wavelength λ of the radiation by. E=hf=hcλ(energy of a photon) E = h f = h c λ (energy of a photon) , where E is the energy of a single photon and c is the speed of light.

Suppose your local apparent solar time is 11 am, and you have a clock that says it is noon in Greenwich. What is your longitude
jeyben [28]

The longitude based on the time difference is 15 degrees.

<h3>Longitude of complete rotation of the Earth</h3>

The longitude of a complete rotation of the earth in a 24 hours is calculated  as follows;

= \frac{360^0}{24} = 15^0 \ of \ longitude

<h3>Time difference</h3>

The time difference between the local apparent solar time and the Greenwich time is calculated as follows;

t = 12 pm \ - \ 11 am\\\\t = 1 \ hour

Since it is one hour time difference, the longitude is 15 degrees.

What can be defined as the rate at which velocity changes
taurus [48]

Answer:

acceleration

Explanation:

The rate at which velocity changes is the definition of the physical quantity called acceleration, and it is given by the formula: a=\frac{v_f-v_i}{\Delta t}

where \Delta t is the time that took to change from the initial velocity v_i to the final velocity v_f
