The Force on the left hand pole, F' = 0.167N

<h3>What is the force on the left hand pole?</h3>

Force is an agent which produces a change in the motion or state of an object.

Force is a vector quantity.

The general force is calculated as follows:

F = mg/sinθ

m = 17.1 g = 0.0171 kg

g = 9.81 m/s²

θ = 45°

F = 0.0171 * 9.81/sin45

F = 0.237 N

Force on the left hand pole, F' = Fcosθ

F' = 0.237 * cos 45

F' = 0.167N

In conclusion, the force on the left hand pole is the horizontal component of force.

Firdavs [7]

Answer:

the decay of half of the nuclei only a half-life has passed ,  b) in rock time it is 1 108 years

Explanation:

The radioactive decay is given by

         N = N₀ e^{\lambda t}

If half of the atoms have decayed

       ½ N₀ = N₀ e^{\lambda t}

       ½ = e^{\lambda t} ₀

       Ln 0.5 = - λ t

       t = - ln 0.5 /λ

The definition of average life time is

      T_{1/2}= ln 2 / λ

       λ = ln 2 /  T_{1/2}

       λ = 0.693 / 100 10⁶

       λ = 0.693 10⁻⁸ years

We replace

       t = -ln 0.5 / 0.693 10⁻⁸

       t = 10⁸ years

We see that for the decay of half of the nuclei only a half-life has passed

b) in rock time it is 1 108 years

Temperature and elevation, if it is cold in Idaho and warm on the eastern end of a mountain side in california (or if warm air is going in that direction) then the cold air, being more dense, will go towards california while the cold air in Idaho will become warm. Same goes for the rest of the world

A mass m neutron has elastic collision with a mass m'
hoa [83]

Answer:

The neutron loses all of its kinetic energy to nucleus.

Explanation:

Given:

Mass of neutron is 'm' and mass of nucleus is 'm'.

The type of collision is elastic collision.

In elastic collision, there is no loss in kinetic energy of the system. So, total kinetic energy is conserved. Also, the total momentum of the system is conserved.

Here, the nucleus is still. So, its initial kinetic energy is 0. So, the total initial kinetic energy will be equal to kinetic energy of the neutron only.

Now, final kinetic energy of the system will be equal to the initial kinetic energy.

Now, as the nucleus was at rest initially, so the final kinetic energy of the nucleus will be equal to the initial kinetic energy of the neutron.

Thus, all the kinetic energy of the neutron will be transferred to the nucleus and the neutron will come to rest after collision.

Therefore, the neutron loses all of its kinetic energy to nucleus.
