I'm not sure what your question is. But, the half life is the amount of time required for half the material to decay. For U238 this is 4.5 billion years, whilst for Fr-223 (Francium) its about 22 minutes. To calculate the time for something to decay you need to use the equation:
Mass (after time t) = Mass (initial) * (0.5)^(time/half life)
Hope this helps

A 20-kg barrel is rolled up a 20-m ramp to the back of a truck whose floor is 5.0 m above the ground. What work is done in loadi
oee [108]

The angle of inclination is calculated using sin function,

sin θ = 5 m / 20 m = 0.25

θ = 14.4775° 

 

<span>The net force exerted is then calculated:
F net = m g sin θ = 20 * 9.8 * 0.25 </span>

F net = 49N 

<span>Work is product of net force and distance:
W = F net * d = 49 * 20 </span>

<span>Work = 980 J </span>

If the moon were twice as far from years as it is now the following would be true
zubka84 [21]
The question is incomplete.

The distance between the Moon and Earth influences: 1) the attractive gravitational force between them, 2) the tides, 3) the eclipses, 4) the period of each full turn of the moon around the Earth.

Assuming the question refers to the gravitational attraction, we must use the fact that, as per, Newton's Universal Gravitaional Law, the attractive force between the two bodies is inversely related to the square distance that separates them.

Then, if the Moon were twice as far, the gravitational pull would be one fourth (1/4) of actual pull.

In an internal combustion engine, heat flow into a gas causes it to <br> .
Sunny_sXe [5.5K]

Answer:

Along path BC of the Otto cycle, heat transfer Qh into the gas occurs at constant volume, causing a further increase in pressure and temperature. This process corresponds to burning fuel in an internal combustion engine, and takes place so rapidly that the volume is nearly constant.
