Physics
1 answer:
Lesechka [4]4 years ago

Answer:

Radioactive decay is the spontaneous breakdown of an atomic nucleus resulting in the release of energy and matter from the nucleus. Remember that a radioisotope has unstable nuclei that does not have enough binding energy to hold the nucleus together.

A body builder loads a bar with 550 newtons (~125 pounds) of weight and pushes the bar over her head 10 times. Each time she lif
Neporo4naja [7]

Work = (force) x (distance)

 (550 newtons) x (0.5 meter) = 275 joules each lift .

 (275 joules/lift) x (10 lifts)  =  2,750 joules of work all together.


Power = (work done) / (time to do the work)

           = (2,750 joules) / (20 seconds)

           =    137.5 watts .        (about 0.18 horsepower)

A ball is thrown straight up from the ground with an unknown velocity. It reaches its highest point after 3.5s with what velocit
Evgen [1.6K]

The ball's velocity at time t would be given by

v_y=v_{0y}-gt

At its highest point, we'll have v_y=0. We're told this occurs at t=3.5\,\mathrm s, which means

0=v_{0y}-\left(9.8\,\dfrac{\mathrm m}{\mathrm s^2}\right)(3.5\,\mathrm s)

\implies v_{0y}=34\,\dfrac{\mathrm m}{\mathrm s}
