Answer: C. About 4.5 billion years ago, there was twice as much uranium-238 as there is today.

Explanation: Radioactive decay process is a type of process in which a less stable nuclei decomposes to a stable nuclei by releasing some radiations or particles like alpha, beta particles or gamma-radiations.

Half life of a radioactive material is the time taken by the material to decompose to half of its original value.

Thus if Uranium-238 has a half-life of 4.5 billion years, it means it has decomposed to half of its original value and thus about 4.5 billion years ago, there was twice as much uranium-238 as there is today.

In next 4.5 billion years, i.e. after two half lives have passed, the amount of uranium will be one fourth of ts original value.

An electromagnetic wave is traveling the +y direction. The maximum magnitude of the electric field associated with the wave is E
cluponka [151]

Answer:

0.83x10^-9 T

Direction is towards +z axis.

Explanation:

E = cB

E = magnitude of electrical 0.25 Em

c = speed of light in a vacuum 3x10^8 m/s

Therefore,

B = E/c = 0.25 ÷ 3x10^8

B = 0.83x10^-9 T

Magnetic fueld of a EM wave acts perpendicularly to its electric field, therefore it's direction is towards the +Z axis

A softball is thrown perfectly vertically (straight-up) at 18 m/s.
inessss [21]

Answer:

a) y = 16.51 [m]

b) t = 1.83 [s]

Explanation:

To solve this problem we must use two kinematics equations, the first to determine the height to which the ball reaches, and the second equation to determine how long it lasts in the air.

v_{f} ^{2}= v_{i} ^{2} - (2*g*t)\\

where:

Vf = final velocity = 0

Vi = initial velocity = 18 [m/s]

g = gravity acceleration = 9.81[m/s^2]

t = time [s]

Note: the negative sign of the Equation indicates that the acceleration of gravity acts in the opposite direction to the movement of the ball.  The final velocity is zero, since the ball reaches its maximum altitude when the velocity is zero.

Now replacing:

0 = (18)^2 - (2*9.81*y)

y = 16.51 [m]

b)

v_{f} = v_{i} - (g*t)

0 = 18 - (9.81*t)

t = 1.83 [s]

Testable: Able to be tested or tried.

<em>ex. An example of a testable hypothesis is, Students who attend class more have higher grades, while those who skip have lower grades. </em>

Data: Data is the items of information that represent our analyze, or our findings in an experiment.

<em>ex. An example of Data, is the results of information collected for a research paper.</em>

Evidence: Evidence is information that helps show whether a proposed idea is valid.

<em>ex. We can use evidence to help support our point and strengthen our findings with reasoning.</em>

Theory: Theory is an explanation of something in the natural world that can be tested and gives us the same results each time. A proven hypothesis.

<em>ex. Examples of scientific theories are gravitation, evolution, and plate tectonics. </em>

Hypothesis: A hypothesis is a theory or question that can be tested through study and experimentation. It has more reasoning to it than a simple guess, but not enough information to be a theory.

<em>ex. An example of a possible hypothesis is, If we play music while working on homework, the participant's perfomance will increase.</em>
