If We Start With 48 Atoms Of A Radioactive Substance, How Many Would Remain After One Half-life?

1 answer:

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>

Equal force is applied to a baseball, a basketball, a tennis ball, and a bowling ball. Which ball will have the GREATEST acceler

mr_godi [17]

according to newton's second law , net force on an object is equal to the product of its mass and its acceleration. the formula is given as

F = ma

where F = force , m = mass , a = acceleration

rearranging the equation for acceleration "a" , we get

a = F/m

when force F is kept constant , the acceleration is inversely related to the mass "m". in other words, greater the mass , smaller will be the acceleration and smaller the mass, greater will be the acceleration.

the masses of baseball, basketball, tennis ball and bowling ball can in arranged in increasing order as

tennis ball < baseball < basketball < bowling ball.

since acceleration and mass have inverse relation from the formula , the order of the acceleration will also be reverse.

tennis ball > baseball > basketball > bowling ball.

hence the tennis ball will have the greatest acceleration as it has the smallest mass.

Why are the wheels on a roller coaster hot after a ride. (I know it’s due to friction but I need more of a detailed answer).

telo118 [61]

2 someone's glasses could fall of because of the inertia
roller coaster is in motion but your glasses are opposing and resisting that motion due to inertia....

1 there is a possibility that electrons move from wheels to the rail and vice versa which also means that it is producing some kind of electrical energy

The magnetic field at the equator points north. if you throw a positively charged object (for example, a baseball with some elec

asambeis [7]

Recall the equation for magnetic force:

F = qv x B *x is cross product, not separate variable!

If the magnetic field points towards N and you throw E, then the magnetic force would point up, or out of the page. Use the right-hand rule. You point your finger towards the direction of the object, and curl your finger to the magnetic field. Your thumb is the direction of the magnetic force.

Hope this helps!

describes how the color and texture of a surface affect absorption and reflection of solar radiation?

Wewaii [24]

Most of the radiation, however, is absorbed by the earth's surface. ... Every surface on earth absorbs and reflects energy at varying degrees, based on its color and texture. Dark-colored objects absorb more visible radiation; light-colored objects reflect more visible radiation.
