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>

If i have a kinematic equation vf^2=vi^2-2*a(xf-xi), how can i solve for xi step by step
azamat

Answer:

Explanation:

v_f^2 = v_i^2-2a(x_f-x_i)

Subtract both sides by v_i^2:

- v_i^2+v_f^2 = -2a(x_f-x_i)

Divide both sides by -2*a:

\frac{v_i^2 - v_f^2}{2a} =x_f-x_i

Add both sides by x_i:

x_i+\frac{v_i^2 - v_f^2}{2a} =x_f

Subtract both sides by \frac{v_i^2 - v_f^2}{2a}:

x_i=x_f-\frac{v_i^2 - v_f^2}{2a}

The amount of gas that a helicopter uses is directly proportional to the number of hours spent flying. the helicopter flies for
igomit [66]

Answer:

The helicopter uses 35 gallons to fly for 5 hours.

Explanation:

The amount of gas that a helicopter uses for flying varies directly proportional to the number of hours spent flying.

g ∝ T

where g represents amount of gas and T time of flight.

Then,

\therefore \frac{g_1}{g_2}=\frac{T_1}{T_2}

The helicopter files 4 hours and uses 28 gallons of fuel.

Here, g₁= 28 gallons, T₁=4 hours

g₂=?, T₂=5 hours.

\therefore \frac{g_1}{g_2}=\frac{T_1}{T_2}

\Rightarrow \frac{28}{g_2}=\frac{4}{5}

⇒28×5= g₂×4

⇒ g₂×4=28×5

\Rightarrow g_2=\frac{28\times 5}{4}

\Rightarrow g_2=35 gallons

The helicopter uses 35 gallons to fly for 5 hours.

zzz [600]

Answer:

Yes

Explanation:

There are so many planets out there that there must be habitable planets if not in our galaxy but the Universe.

Although the chances of advanced life are slim, small primitive life like microbes or sea life may still exist.

Jack and Jill have made up since the previous HW assignment, and are now playing on a 10 meter seesaw. Jill is sitting on one en
Airida [17]

Answer: 3 m.

Explanation:

Neglecting the mass of the seesaw, in order the seesaw to be balanced, the sum of the torques created by  gravity acting on both children  must be 0.

As we are asked to locate Jack at some distance from the fulcrum, we can take torques regarding the fulcrum, which is located at just in the middle of the length of the seesaw.

If we choose the counterclockwise direction as positive, we can write the torque equation as follows (assuming that Jill sits at the left end of the seesaw):

mJill* 5m -mJack* d = 0

60 kg*5 m -100 kg* d =0

Solving for d:

d = 3 m.
