o-na [289]3 years ago
4 0
The half-life of this radioactive isotope is 9 months for it decreases to one-fourth its original amount in 18 months. Half-life means a certain length of time after which half of the amount of radioactive element has decayed.
Therefore, the half-life of this particular isotope is 18 months. After 18 months the isotope was at one-half, then another 18 months, the isotope was at one-fourth, which is 9 months where one-fourth is one-half of one half.

Phase unbalance causes three-phase motors to operate at temperatures ? and, therefore, the motor cannot deliver its rated horsep
anastassius [24]

Phase unbalance causes three-phase motors to operate at temperatures higher than nameplate ratings and, therefore, the motor cannot deliver its rated horsepower.

<h3>What is an electric vehicle (EV)?</h3>

An EV stands for an electric vehicle. Electric vehicles (EVs) are autos that are powered totally or partially by electricity.

Electric cars are extremely cost-effective to run because they have fewer moving parts to maintain and use little to no fossil fuels (petrol or diesel).

Hence, three-phase motors operating with phase imbalance run at temperatures over nameplate limits, which prevents the motor from producing its rated horsepower.
