Answer:

B) the decay rates of radioactive uranium and lead

Explanation:

As we know that when she found the substance it must have some fixed ratio of radioactive uranium and Lead in that substance.

Here since Uranium is radioactive substance so it will continuously convert into Lead and this ratio will change with time

So here we can say that the ratio of radioactive uranium and lead will depend on its decay rate

now to find the age of the substance we can find the present ratio of lead and uranium in that substance and then compare it with freshly prepared substance.

so by the formula

$t = \frac{1}{\lambda}ln(\frac{N_0}{N})$

we can find the age of the sample

Answer:

B) the decay rates of radioactive uranium and lead

Explanation:

The radioactive decay is modeled using an exponential function with an essential parameter, namely the decay rate. The two rates (for urianium and lead) allow her to determine the number of years that passed since the time the zirconium was formed.

A projectile is launched into the air with the initial speed of vi = 40 m/s at a launch angle of 20 degrees above the horizontal

Sphinxa [80]

The range of the projectile is 188 m

Explanation:

The motion of the arrow in this problem is a projectile motion, so it follows a parabolic path which consists of two independent motions:

- A uniform motion (constant velocity) along the horizontal direction

- An accelerated motion with constant acceleration (acceleration of gravity) in the vertical direction

The path of a projectile is the combination of these two motions: see figure in attachment.

In order to find the horizontal range of the projectile, we just need to calculate the horizontal distance travelled.

We have:

t = 5.0 s (time of fligth of the projectile)

and the horizontal velocity is constant, and it is given by

$v_x = v_i cos \theta$

where

$v_i = 40 m/s$ is the initial velocity

$\theta=20^{\circ}$ is the angle of projection

Substituting,

$v_x = (40)(cos 20^{\circ})=37.6 m/s$

And therefore, the range of the projectile is:

$d=v_x t = (37.6)(5.0)=188 m$

A rubber ball is dropped from a height of 8m. After strikingthe floor, the ball bounces to a height of 5m. a. If the ball had bo

kifflom [539]

Answer:

a) This means the collision between the ball and the floor is elastic.

b) This points to a perfectly inelastic collision between the ball and the floor as they stick together after collision

c) Check Explanation.

Explanation:

Collision of bodies are analysed according to whether both momentum and kinetic energy of the system is conserved, that is, if these two quantities before collision are equal to their values after collision.

In all types of collisions, momentum is usually conserved, but kinetic energy is conserved only in an elastic collision.

A ball dropped from a height of 8 m bounces up back to a height of 5 m.

a. If the ball had bounced to a height of 8m, how would you describe the collision between the ball and the floor?

The ball not bouncing back to a height of 8 m shows energy loss at some point in the total motion of the ball (most likely at the collision). If kinetic energy was conserved, the ball would bounce back up to the height at which it fell from (8 m) after the collision with the floor.

b. If the ball had not bounced at all, how would you describe the collision between the ball and the floor?

If the ball had not bounced at all, this means it lost all of its kinetic energy to the floor, and this points to a perfectly inelastic collision between the ball and the floor as they stick together after collision.

c. What happened to the energy lost by the ball during thecollision?

The energy lost during the collision is converted to another form, most likely responsible for some deformation on the ball & a minute deformation on the floor, converted to some form of heat as a result of the collision or into sound energy, usually, it's a combination of all This!

A group of bike riders took a 4 hour trip. During the first 3 hours, they traveled a total of 50 km, but

zlopas [31]

Answer:

15km/hr

Explanation:

The average speed for the entire trip is the sum of the total distance traveled divided by the total time of the trip.

Total time = 4hr

distance for the first 3hrs = 50km

distance for the last 1hr = 10km

Total distance = 50km + 10km = 60km

Now;

Average speed = $\frac{total distance }{time taken}$

Insert the parameters and solve;

Average speed = $\frac{60km}{4hr}$ = 15km/hr

If the force of a golf club on a golf ball is 200 N forward, what will the force of the ball on the club be? A. 200 N forward B.

Korolek [52]

The ball should put 200 N of force towards the golfer.

Newton's Third Law is every action has an equal and opposite reaction.

It's the ball exerting 200 N of force towards the club as well, but the opposite reaction is that it flies away.
