Answer:

P = 96 J

Explanation:

Given that,

Weight of the book, W = mg = 8 N

It is placed at a height of 12 m

We need to find the potential energy of the book. The potential energy of an object is given by the formula as follows :

E = mgh

mg = Weight

E=8\ N\times 12\ m\\E=96\ J

So, the potential energy of the book is 96 J.

The task is to show that the right side of the equation has units of [Time], just like the left side has.

The right side of the equation is . . . 2 π √(L/G) .

We can completely ignore the  2π since it has no units at all, so it has no effect on the units of the right side of the equation.  Now the task is simply to find the units of  √(L/G) .

L . . . meters

G . . . meters/sec²

(L/G) = (meters) / (meters/sec²)

(L/G) = (meters) · (sec²/meters)

(L/G) = (meters · sec²) / (meters)

(L/G) = sec²

So  √(L/G) = seconds = [Time]

THAT's what we were hoping to prove, and we did it !

A sample contains 16 g of a radioactive isotope. how much radioactive
mafiozo [28]

After one half-life, 8 g of radioactive isotope will remain in the sample.

<h3>What is radioactivity?</h3>

The act of producing radiation spontaneously is known as radioactivity. This is accomplished by an unstable atomic nucleus that want to give up some energy in order to move to a more stable form.

The following formula is used to compute the number of half lives elapsed:

\rm N=\frac{N_0}{2^n} \\\\ N=\frac{16}{2} \\\\ N= 8 \ gram

Hence,8 gram of radioactive isotope remains in the sample after 1 half-life.

A car covers 120 km in 3 hours calculate its speed in m/s​
8_murik_8 [283]

Answer:

11.1 m/s

Explanation:

120 km = 120 x 1,000 = 120,000 m

3 hours = 3 x 60 x 60 = 3600 x 3 = 10,800 s

speed = 120,000 / 10,800

= 1200/108

= 11.1 m/s
