A tire sits atop a ramp. When the tire is released, it rolls down the ramp. At the ramp's bottom, the speeding tire knocks down
k0ka [10]

Answer:

mechanical energy

Explanation:

Mechanical energy is the combination of both potential energy and kinetic

Mechanical energy can be divided as

1)kinetic energy, this energy vis regarded as the energy of motion

2) potential energy which is the stored energy of position.

Mechanical energy reffered to as

motion energy this energy is responsible for the movement of an object based on its position as well as motion.

Mechanical energy= U + K

Where U= potential energy

K= Kinectic energy

As the tire is sitting on top of a ramp, it posses "potential energy" as it is released and rolls down the ramp the potential is converted to Kinectic energy

A sample of radium-226 will decay to ¼ of its original amount after 3200 years. What is the half-life of radium-226?
lesantik [10]
<h3><u>Answer</u>;</h3>

1600 years

<h3><u>Explanation</u>;</h3>
  • Half life is the time taken for a radioactive isotope to decay by half of its original amount.
  • We can use the formula; N = O × (1/2)^n ; where N is the new mass, O is the original amount and n is the number of half lives.
  • A sample of radium-226 takes 3200 years to decay to 1/4 of its original amount.

Therefore;

<em>1/4 = 1 × (1/2)^n</em>

<em>1/4 = (1/2)^n </em>

<em>n = 2 </em>

Thus; <em>3200 years is equivalent to 2 half lives.</em>

<em>Hence, the half life of radium-226 is 1600 years</em>
