Answer:

how many would remain

after one half-life = 200 atoms

After 2 half-lives = 100 atoms

After 3 half-lives = 50 atoms

After 4 half-lives = 25 atoms

Explanation:

Given;

Initial amount = 400 atoms

Half life is the time taken to decay half of a radioactive material.

how many would remain after one half-life;

= 400/2 = 200 atoms

After 2 half-lives;

= 400/2^2 = 400/4

= 100 atoms

After 3 half-lives

= 400/2^3 = 400/8

= 50 atoms

After 4 half-lives

= 400/2^4 = 400/16

= 25 atoms

What is the length of a one-dimensional box in which an electron in the n=1 state has the same energy as a photon with a wavelen
Pie

Answer:

Length will be 0.491 nm

Explanation:

We have given wavelength of the photon \lambda =800nm=800\times 10^{-9}m

Plank's constant h=6.6\times 10^{-34}J-s

We know that energy of the photon is given by

E=\frac{hc}{\lambda }=\frac{6.6\times 10^{-34}\times 3\times 10^8}{800\times \times 10^{-9}}=2.475\times 10^{-19}J

We know that energy of photon is also given by

E=\frac{n^2h^2}{8mL^2}=\frac{h^2}{8mL^2}

2.475\times 10^{-19}=\frac{(6.6\times 10^{-34})^2}{8\times 9.1\times 10^{-31}\times L^2}

L=0.491\times 10^{-9}m

mote1985 [20]

Answer:

Biomechanics

Explanation:

Biomechanics is a branch of biophysics that uses principles of physics to study and understand movement in organisms using the laws of mechanics. One of the applications of Biomechanics is its usage in sport and exercise activities. Biomechanics is used to study body movement of athletes during sport or exercise activities to improve performance of athletes and make the activities better and safer.

Which object has the most Kinetic Energy, and why?
Ilya [14]
A small rock quickly rolling down a hill because as the velocity or speed increases the particles in the rock start to increase kinetic energy. The particles start to act up and create more energy. Also because the small rock would go faster than a giant rock because of Newton's second law. Can I have brainliest pls?

A 1425 kg truck driving at 13.0 m/s collides elastically with a stationary 1175 kg car. If the car is traveling 14.25 m/s just a
TEA [102]

Answer:

1.25 m/s

Explanation:

m1v1+m2v2=m1v1f+m2v2f

(1425*13)+(1175*0)=(1425*v1f)+(1175*14.25)

18525+0=1425(v1f)+16743.75

1781.25=1425(v1f)

v1f=1.25 m/s
