It takes 3 half-lives:
1. 1000 -> 500
2. 500 -> 250
3. 250 ->125
I'm not sure about the Virginia thing so good luck!
And congratulations on being my first answer-person!!
(a) 3675 N
Assuming that the acceleration of the rocket is in the horizontal direction, we can use Newton's second law to solve this part:

where
is the horizontal component of the force
m is the mass of the passenger
is the horizontal component of the acceleration
Here we have
m = 75.0 kg

Substituting,

(b) 3748 N, 11.3 degrees above horizontal
In this part, we also have to take into account the forces acting along the vertical direction. In fact, the seat exerts a reaction force (R) which is equal in magnitude and opposite in direction to the weight of the passenger:

where we used
as acceleration of gravity.
So, this is the vertical component of the force exerted by the seat on the passenger:

and therefore the magnitude of the net force is

And the direction is given by

Answer:
Explanation:
F = m * a
The apple's acceleration is not influenced by the acceleration due to gravity for this question. In real life it most certainly is influenced by gravity.
F = m * a
F = 10 Newtons.
a = 6 m/s^2
m = 10/6 = 1.66 kg. Mighty large apple
The particle moves with constant speed in a circular path, so its acceleration vector always points toward the circle's center.
At time
, the acceleration vector has direction
such that

which indicates the particle is situated at a point on the lower left half of the circle, while at time
the acceleration has direction
such that

which indicates the particle lies on the upper left half of the circle.
Notice that
. That is, the measure of the major arc between the particle's positions at
and
is 270 degrees, which means that
is the time it takes for the particle to traverse 3/4 of the circular path, or 3/4 its period.
Recall that

where
is the radius of the circle and
is the period. We have

and the magnitude of the particle's acceleration toward the center of the circle is

So we find that the path has a radius
of

Answer:
423nm
Explanation:
To find the unknown wavelength you take into account the distance y to the maximum central fringe, for light fringes and dark fringes.
- for light fringes:

- for dark fringes:

The third-order bright fringe (m= 3) of wavelength A coincides with the fourth dark fringe (m=4) of the wavelength B. Hence you have that:

hence, the wavelength B is 423nm
