False.

<span>The time required for radioactive elements, whereby they decay to half their original mass is called the "Half life" of the element

Not the average life.

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

The average radius of Mars is 3,397 km. If Mars completes one rotation in 24.6 hours, what is the tangential speed of objects on
sammy [17]

Answer: First, we determine the circumference of the Mars by the equation below.  

                                     C = 2πr

Substituting the known values,

                                     C = 2(π)(3,397 km) = 6794π km

To determine the tangential speed, we divide the circumference calculated above by the time it takes for Mars to complete one rotation and that is,

                   tangential speed = 6794π km / 24.6 hours = 867.64 km/h

Match the following:
joja [24]

Explanation:

1. study of conversion of heat to mechanics → thermodynamics

A branch of physical science which deals with heat and other forms of energy.

2. The Law of Conservation of Energy  → first Law of Thermodynamics

Energy cannot be created nor be destroyed. According to first law of thermodynamics total energy of the system is always constant.

3. Result of applied energy  → work

Work is the way of system to release its energy.

4. Principle that states that in any energy transformation some energy is dissipated as heat  → Second Law of Thermodynamics

5. energy of motion  → kinetic energy

Kinetic energy is defined as energy possessed by the body due to its motion.

6. work/displacement  → force

Work is product of force and displacement.

Work=Force \times displacement

Force=\frac{Work}{displacement}

7. power · time  → energy

Power is defined energy per unit time.

Power=\frac{Energy}{Time}

Energy=Power\times Time

8. Device that transforms heat energy into mechanical energy →  heat engine

heat engine is a device which converts the heat energy which is released due to combustion of fuel into a useful work that is mechanical energy.

9 . Energy due to position  → potential energy

Potential energy is defined as energy possessed by the body due to its position.

10. efficiency of a heat engine unit of heat  → calorie

11. Measure of molecular motion  → Temperature

Kinetic energy is directly proportional to temperature.

Greater the motion more will be the kinetic energy and with more will be the temperature.

12. Heat given off by a liquid with no change in temperature  → latent heat of fusion

Latent heat of fusion is defined as heat released by 1 mole of substance when it under goes phase change that is from solid to liquid.

13. Motion within solids  → vibrational motion

Vibrational motion is the motion in which particle oscillates from its mean position.

14. Phase of matter on the sun → plasma

Plasma is hot ionized gas with equal number of positive and negative ions. Due to high temperature of sun most the gas are in the plasma state.
