If you had started with a larger mass, how would the half-life change?

Physics

3 0

Answer:

There is no change, unless your mass is somehow at the quantum level, at which the concept of half-life breaks down.

Half life is a property of the specific radioactive isotope...NOT of the initial sample's mass.

Five wheels are connected as shown in the figure. Find the velocity of the block “Q”, if it is known that: RA= 5 [m], RB= 10 [m]
Tanzania [10]

Answer:

-5 m/s

Explanation:

The linear velocity of B is equal and opposite the linear velocity of E.

vB = -vE

vB = -ωE rE

10 m/s = -ωE (12 m)

ωE = -0.833 rad/s

The angular velocity of E is the same as the angular velocity of D.

ωE = ωD

ωD = -0.833 rad/s

The linear velocity of Q is the same as the linear velocity of D.

vQ = vD

vQ = ωD rD

vQ = (-0.833 rad/s) (6 m)

vQ = -5 m/s

A regulation basketball has a 32 cm diameter
Rudik [331]

Answer:

1.8 s

Explanation:

Potential energy = kinetic energy + rotational energy

mgh = ½ mv² + ½ Iω²

For a thin spherical shell, I = ⅔ mr².

mgh = ½ mv² + ½ (⅔ mr²) ω²

mgh = ½ mv² + ⅓ mr²ω²

For rolling without slipping, v = ωr.

mgh = ½ mv² + ⅓ mv²

mgh = ⅚ mv²

gh = ⅚ v²

v = √(1.2gh)

v = √(1.2 × 9.81 m/s² × 4.8 m sin 39.4°)

v = 5.47 m/s

The acceleration down the incline is constant, so given:

Δx = 4.8 m

v₀ = 0 m/s

v = 5.47 m/s

Find: t

Δx = ½ (v + v₀) t

t = 2Δx / (v + v₀)

t = 2 (4.8 m) / (5.47 m/s + 0 m/s)

t = 1.76 s

Rounding to two significant figures, it takes 1.8 seconds.
