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.

Musya8 [376]

Answer: 0.09 m

Explanation:

Centripetal acceleration in terms of tangential speed is:

$a_c=\frac{v^2_t}{r}$

where r is the radius.

It is given that,

centripetal acceleration of the mouse, $a_c=0.29 m/s^2$

tangential speed , $v_t=0.17m/s$

Radius of salami is:

$r =\frac{(0.17m/s)^2}{0.29 m/s^2}=0.09m$

Thus, the radius of the salami is 0.09 m.

water flows horizontally from a hose that is 3m above the ground. the water lands 7.2m to the right of the hose . how long does

Sidana [21]

Answer:

0.782 s

Explanation:

The water flows horizontally from the hose, so its initial vertical velocity is 0.

Given:

y₀ = 3 m

y = 0 m

v₀ = 0 m/s

a = -9.8 m/s²

Find: t

y = y₀ + v₀ t + ½ at²

0 m = 3 m + (0 m/s) t + ½ (-9.8 m/s²) t²

t = 0.782 s

Round as needed.

STatiana [176]

a = ( v(2) - v(1) ) ÷ ( t(2) - t(1) )

2 = ( v(2) - 10 ) ÷ ( 6 - 0 )

2 × 6 = v(2) - 10

v(2) = 12 + 10

v(2) = 22 m/s
