Answer:
a). A conservative force permits a two-way conversion between kinetic and potential energies.
TRUE
Because there is no energy loss in presence of conservative forces so energy conversion in two ways are possible.
b). A potential energy function can be specified for a conservative force.
TRUE
negative gradient of potential energy is equal to conservative force

c). A non-conservative force permits a two-way conversion between kinetic and potential energies.
FALSE
here energy is lost against non-conservative forces
d). The work done by a conservative force depends on the path taken.
FALSE
work done by conservative force is independent of path
e). The work done by a non-conservative force depends on the path taken.
TRUE
work done by non conservative forces depends on path.
f). A potential energy function can be specified for a non-conservative force.
FALSE
It is not defined for non conservative forces
It is based on their state like population, literacy and poverty it varies from state to state, country to country
It increases confidence because the more times you conduct the same experiment over and over should either prove your hypothesis right and wrong and eliminate any random occurrences that might affect your results.
Answer: 0.333 h
Explanation:
This problem can be solved using the <u>Radioactive Half Life Formula</u>:
(1)
Where:
is the final amount of the material
is the initial amount of the material
is the time elapsed
is the half life of the material (the quantity we are asked to find)
Knowing this, let's substitute the values and find
from (1):
(2)
(3)
Applying natural logarithm in both sides:
(4)
(5)
Clearing
:
(6)
Finally:
This is the half-life of the Bismuth-218 isotope
