Answer:

The unit is usually seconds. But it really depends on the situation you are in. If you are talking about uranium-238, then you'll be talking about a half life in the billions of years. However, if you are talking about the half-life of a muon, then it'll be in seconds or microseconds.

frosja888 [35]

Answer:

C) True. S increases with time, v₁ = gt and v₂ = g (t-t₀)  we see that for the same t v₁> v₂

Explanation:

You have several statements and we must select which ones are correct. The best way to do this is to raise the problem.

Let's use the vertical launch equation. The positive sign because they indicate that the felt downward is taken as an opponent.

Stone 1

    y₁ = v₀₁ t + ½ g t²

    y₁ = 0 + ½ g t²

Rock2

It comes out a little later, let's say a second later, we can use the same stopwatch

     t ’= (t-t₀)

    y₂ = v₀₂ t ’+ ½ g t’²

    y₂ = 0 + ½ g (t-t₀)²

    y₂ = + ½ g (t-t₀)²

Let's calculate the distance between the two rocks, it should be clear that this equation is valid only for t> = to

    S = y₁ -y₂

    S = ½ g t²– ½ g (t-t₀)²

    S = ½ g [t² - (t²- 2 t to + to²)]  

    S = ½ g (2 t t₀ - t₀²)

    S = ½ g t₀ (2 t -t₀)

This is the separation of the two bodies as time passes, the amount outside the Parentheses is constant.

For t <to.  The rock y has not left and the distance increases

For t> = to.  the ratio (2t/to-1)> 1 therefore the distance increases as time

passes

Now we can analyze the different statements

A) false. The difference in height increases over time

B) False S increases

C) Certain s increases with time, v₁ = gt and V₂ = g (t-t₀) we see that for the same t   v₁> v₂

A 1500 kg car skids to a halt on a wet road where μk = 0.47. You may want to review (Pages 141 - 145) . Part A How fast was the
shusha [124]

The car travels at a speed of 25m/s.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Given-

Mass, m = 1500kg

Coefficient of friction, μk = 0.47

Distance, x = 68m

Speed, s = ?

We know,

Force, F = ma

and

F = μ X m X g

Therefore,

μ * m * g = m * a

μ * g = a

Let, g = 9.8m/s²

So,

a = 0.47 * 9.8 m/s^2

a = 4.606m/s^2

We know,

v^2 - u^2 = 2as

where, v is the final velocity

           u is the initial velocity

           a is the acceleration

           s is the distance

If the car comes to rest, the final velocity, v becomes 0.

So,

u^2 = 2 * 4.606 * 68\\\\u^2 = 626.416m/s\\\\u = 25m/s

The car travels at a speed of 25m/s.

Convert the number from scientific into standard notation: 5.9 x 10-2
guapka [62]
Move the decimal point to:
Left : (if the exponent of ten is a negative number -) ... OUR CASE HERE (-2)
or to
Right : (if the exponent is positive +).

You should move the point as many times as the exponent indicates.
Do not write the power of ten anymore.

So, standard form is:
Two points to the left {Exponent of Ten is Negative (-2)}
0.059 ... (without the 10)
