Half-life- The time taken for half of the radioactive isotopes to decay.
Explanation:
How does radioactive decay work? Radioactive decay is a process by which unstable nuclei become more stable through the emission of alpha or beta particles or gamma rays.
Since a half-life is the time taken for half of the isotopes to decay, we can simply divide the initial mass of 100 grams by 2; this gives us 50 grams.
1) Divide 100g by 2.
Answer:
Explanation:
According to the law of conservation of linear momentum, the total momentum of both pucks won't be changed regardless of their interaction if no external forces are acting on the system.
Being and
the masses of pucks a and b respectively, the initial momentum of the system is
Since b is initially at rest
After the collision and being and
the respective velocities, the total momentum is
Both momentums are equal, thus
Solving for
The initial kinetic energy can be found as (provided puck b is at rest)
The final kinetic energy is
The change of kinetic energy is
