4 0

<span>One half-life produces (1/2) of the decaying substance.

There would still be  48  atoms.  But  24  would have thrown off
particles from their nucleuses, and only  24  would still be radioactive.</span>

A loudspeaker diaphragm is vibrating in simple harmonic motion with a frequency of 760 Hz and a maximum displacement of 0.85 mm.
Alchen [17]

Answer:(a) 4775.2Hz (b) 4.06m/s (c) 19382.15m/s²

Explanation: Given that the frequency of oscilation f, is 760Hz and the maximum displacement x, is 0.85mm= 0.00085m

(a) Angular frequency w= 2πf

w= 2π × 760 = 4775.2Hz

(b) Maximum speed v is given as the product of angular frequency and maximum displacement

V=wx

V= 4775.2 × 0.00085

V= 4.06m/s

(c) The maximum acceleration a

= w²x

= (4775.2)² × (0.00085)

a= 19382.15m/s².

The gravitational force between two objects is represented by the variable F. If the distance is decreased by 5 what is the new
Anvisha [2.4K]

The universal law of gravitation states that:

Every object in the universe attracts every other object with a force which is proportional to the product of their masses and inversely proportional to the square of distance between them.

It means that if the gravitational force is F, then if the distance is decreased by 5 times, then the new gravitation force is:

F/5² = F/25

(c) What would the angle of reflection be if the incident ray
kvasek [131]

Answer:

So, if a wave hits a mirror at an angle of 36°, it will be reflected at the same angle (36°). ... An incident ray of light hits a plane mirror at an angle and is reflected back off it. The angle of reflection is equal to the angle of incidence. Both angles are measured from the normal.
