Answer:
False
Explanation:
The magnitude of any vector is given by,
The magnitude of anything is never negative. It can be even seen from the formula that the components are squared. A squared value can never be negative. Even if the component is negative the square will be always positive.
So, magnitude of the vector is <u>not</u> negative.
Answer:
3
Explanation:
The half-life of a radioactive isotope is the time it takes for the mass of the sample to halve.
This can be rewritten as follows:
where
m(t) is the mass of the sample at time t
m0 is the original mass of the sample
n is the number of half-lives that passed
We see that if we take n=3, the amount of original sample left is
So 3 (3 half-lives) is the correct answer.
Answer:
134.77 mm
Explanation:
Wave length of light λ = 599 x 10⁻⁹ m
Slit separation d = 20 x 10⁻⁶ m
Screen distance D = 3 m
Distance of second dark fringe from centre
= 1.5 x λ D / d
Putting the values given above
distance =
= 134.77 x 10⁻³ m
= 134.77 mm.
