2.5 gram sample of a radioactive element was formed in a 1960 explosion of an atomic bomb at Johnson Island in the Pacific Test

Answer:

0.15625 grams

Explanation:

Half life: It is related to the decay of radioactive material. The duration in which  half of the material will be degraded/decayed. That means after half life 50% of the radioactive material will be left. Here the half life is 28 years.

Initial quantity of the sample: 2.5 grams.

After 28 years, the leftover quantity = 1.25 grams

After 56 years, the leftover quantity = 0.625 grams

After 84 Years, the leftover quantity = 0.3125 grams

After 112 years, the leftover quantity = 0.15625 grams

Tremendous energy is released by nuclear reactions is a measure of the energy required to bond the nucleus together. Where does
Harlamova29_29 [7]

Answer:

Fission is the opposite of fusion and releases energy only when heavy nuclei are split. As noted in Fusion, energy is released if the products of a nuclear reaction have a greater binding energy per nucleon than the parent nuclei.

The amount of energy released during nuclear fission is millions of times more efficient per mass than that of coal considering only 0.1 percent of the original nuclei is converted to energy. Daughter nucleus, energy, and particles such as neutrons are released as a result of the reaction

A box is being pulled by two ropes. Eduardo pulls to the left with a force of 500 N, and Clara pulls to the right with a force o
sergejj [24]

Answer:

kinetic friction or something else

Explanation:

Draw a diagram to illustrate the problem, as shown below.

m = mass of the box, kg

mg =  weight of the box, N, acting downward

Because of Newton's 3rd law, a normal force of N = mg acts upward on the box.

C = 200 N, the force applied by Clara, horizontally to the right

E = 500 N, the force applied by Eduardo, horizontally to the left.

Because E is greater than C, the box will move left.

The frictional force, F, will resist the initial motion. Its magnitude is

F = μN = μmg, where μ = kinetic coefficient of friction.

F acts horizontally to the right.

From the given table, we can conclude that

Normal force acting upward is correct

Tension by Eduardoacting left is correct.

Tension by Clara acting right is correct.

Kinetic friction acting left is Incorrect.

Gravity acting downward is correct.correct

Answer:

The direction of the kinetic friction force is incorrect
