Answer:
An object's acceleration is the rate its velocity (speed and direction) changes. Therefore, an object can accelerate even if its speed is constant - if its direction changes.
Explanation:
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
Answer:
12500 V
Explanation:
The electric field in the gap of a parallel-plate capacitor is uniform, so the following relationship between electric field strength, potential difference and distance can be used:
where
is the potential difference between the plates
E is the electric field strength
d is the distance between the plates
For the capacitor in this problem, we have
Substituting, we find
To stop instantly, you would need infinite deceleration. This in turn, requires infinite force, as demonstrable with this equation:F=ma<span>So when you hit a wall, you do not instantly stop (e.g. the trunk of the car will still move because the car is getting crushed). In a case of a change in momentum, </span><span><span>m<span>v⃗ </span></span><span>m<span>v→</span></span></span>, we can use the following equation to calculate force:F=p/h<span>However, because the force is nowhere close to infinity, time will never tend to zero either, which means that you cannot come to an instantaneous stop.</span>
