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>

1. A kangaroo hops 84 m to the east in 7 seconds.
DENIUS [597]

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Distance hopped  = 84m

Displacement  = 84m due east

Time  = 7s

Unknown:

Speed of kangaroo  = ?

Velocity of kangaroo  = ?

Solution:

To solve this problem,

    Speed  = \frac{distance}{time }   = \frac{84}{7}  = 12m/s

  Velocity  = \frac{displacement}{time}   = \frac{84}{7}   = 12m/s due east

Astronaut mark uri is space-traveling from planet x to planet y at a speed of relative to the planets, which are at rest relativ
lyudmila [28]
<span>From the point of view of the astronaut, he travels between planets with a speed of 0.6c. His distance between the planets is less than the other bodies around him and so by applying Lorentz factor, we have 2*</span>√1-0.6² = 1.6 light hours. On the other hand, from the point of view of the other bodies, time for them is slower. For the bodies, they have to wait for about 1/0.6 = 1.67 light hours while for him it is 1/(0.8) = 1.25 light hours. The remaining distance for the astronaut would be 1.67 - 1.25 = 0.42 light hours. And then, light travels in all frames and so the astronaut will see that the flash from the second planet after 0.42 light hours and from the 1.25 light hours is, 1.25 - 0.42 = 0.83 light hours or 49.8 minutes.

The force of attraction between a -165.0 uC and +115.0 C charge is 6.00 N. What is the separation between these two charges in m
Simora [160]

Answer:

  • The distance between the charges is 5,335.026 m

Explanation:

To obtain the forces between the particles, we can use Coulomb's Law in scalar form, this is, the force between the particles will be:

F = k \frac{q_1 q_2}{d^2}

where k is Coulomb's constant, q_1 and q_2 are the charges and d is the distance between the charges.

Working a little the equation, we can take:

d^2 = k \frac{q_1 q_2}{F}

d = \sqrt{ k \frac{q_1 q_2}{F}}

And this equation will give us the distance between the charges. Taking the values of the problem

k= 9.00 \ 10^9 \frac{N \ m^2}{C^2} \\q_1 = 165.0 \mu C \\q_2 = 115.0 C\\F=- 6.00

(the force has a minus sign, as its attractive)

d = \sqrt{ 9.00 \ 10^9 \frac{N \ m^2}{C^2} \frac{(165.0 \mu C) (115.0 C)}{- 6.00 \ N}}

d = \sqrt{ 9.00 \ 10^9 \frac{N \ m^2}{C^2} \frac{(165.0 \mu C) (115.0 C)}{- 6.00 \ N}}

d = \sqrt{ 28,462,500 \ m^2}}

d = 5,335.026 m

And this is the distance between the charges.
