Answer:

3

Explanation:

The half-life of a radioactive isotope is the time it takes for the mass of the sample to halve.

This can be rewritten as follows:

m(t) = m_0 (\frac{1}{2})^n

where

m(t) is the mass of the sample at time t

m0 is the original mass of the sample

n is the number of half-lives that passed

We see that if we take n=3, the amount of original sample left is

m(t) = m_0 (\frac{1}{2})^3 = m_0 (\frac{1}{8})

So 3 (3 half-lives) is the correct answer.

Two separate but nearby coils are mounted along the same axis. A power supply controls the flow of current in the first coil, an
Anit [1.1K]

Answer:

b.only when the current in the first coil changes.

Explanation:

An induced current flow in the second coil only when there is a change in current in the first cool. A steady current will produce no change in flux (due to magnetic effect of a current) by the first coil, and according to Faraday, induced current is only produced when there is a change in flux linkage.

Why is an iron bolt attracted to a magnet?
icang [17]

Answer:

A. When it is in a magnetic field, it becomes a temporary magnet.

Explanation:

An iron bolt is attracted to a magnet because when in a magnetic field, the iron becomes a temporary magnet.

This is because the iron aligns their electrons in the magnetic fields.

  • This causes that attraction between the magnet and the iron.
  • Metals like iron are said to be ferromagnetic
  • Unpaired electrons in iron spin in such a way that they align with the magnetic fields of the magnet.

A steel ball bearing is released from a height H and
ArbitrLikvidat [17]

Answer:

ELASTIC collision

kinetic energy is conservate

Explanation:

As the ball bounces to the same height, it can be stated that the impact with the floor is ELASTIC.

As the floor does not move the conservation of the moment

            po = pf

            -mv1 = m v2

- v1 = v2

So the speed with which it descends is equal to the speed with which it rises

Therefore the kinetic energy of the ball before and after the collision is the same
