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

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.

A diffraction grating with 600 lines/mmlines/mm is illuminated with light of wavelength 510 nmnm. A very wide viewing screen is

Ksenya-84 [330]

Answer:

A.2.95 m

B.7

Explanation:

We are given that

Diffraction grating=600 lines/mm

d= $\frac{1 mm}{600}=\frac{1\times 10^{-3} m}{600}=1.67\times 10^{-6} m$

Wavelength of light, $\lambda=510 nm=510\times 10^{-9} m$

l=4.6 m

A.We have to find the distance between the two m=1 bright fringes

$sin\theta=\frac{m\lambda}{d}$

For first bright fringe, =1

$sin\theta=\frac{1\times 510\times 10^{-9}}{1.67\times 10^{-6}}=0.305$

$\theta=sin^{-1}(0.305)=17.76^{\circ}$

The distance between two m=1 fringes

$x=2ltan\theta=2\times 4.6 tan(17.76^{\circ})=2.95 m$

Hence, the distance between two m=1 fringes=2.95 m

B.For maximum number of fringes,

$sin\theta=1$

$sin\theta=\frac{m\lambda}{d}$

Substitute the values

$1=\frac{m\times 510\times 10^{-9}}{1.67\times 10^{-6}}$

$m=\frac{1.67\times 10^{-6}}{510\times 10^{-9}}=3.3\approx 3$

Maximum number of bright fringes on the scree= $2m+1=2(3)+1=7$

Apply the law of conservation of energy and describe the energy transformations that occur as you coast down a long hill on a bi

m_a_m_a [10]

As you coast down a long hill on your bicycle, potential energy from your height is converted to kinetic energy as you and your bike are pulled downward by gravity along the slope of the hill. While there is air resistance and friction slowing you down by a little bit, your speed increases gradually until you apply the brakes, causing enough friction to slow yourself and the bike to a stop at the bottom.

A roller coaster will have higher kinetic energy at the lower hill because it will have already been moving as opposed to the initial hill. But I'm not one hundred percent certain. You can always google this stuff, but I do know for sure that at the first hill, the roller coaster will have higher potential energy.
Hope this helps!
