Answer:
The half-life of the isotope is 2 hours
Explanation:
The Geiger counter is a device that is used for the detection and measurement of all types of radiation( that is alpha, beta and gamma radiation).
Initially, the Geiger counter also known as the Geiger Muller tube registers 160 counts per minutes when placed near a radioactive isotope. After eight hours, the counter registers 10 counts per minute, this reduced number of counts means that n half lives has elapsed.
10 counts per minute = 1/16 of 160 counts per minutes.
Therefore 1/16 = 1/2⁴, comparing 1/2⁴ with where n is the number of elapsed half lives, n = 4. This means that 4 half lives has elapsed after 8 hours.
Therefore one half life of the isotope = 8/4 = 2 hours.
Answer:
A conducter will allow electricity to flow through it. An insulator cannot conduct electricity.
Answer: sum of the electric field energy density and magnetic field energy density.
Explanation:
The total energy stored in an electromagnetic wave is equal to the sum of energy stored in the electric and magnetic fields. In that case, the energy stored per unit volume, or energy density of the electromagnetic wave, is the sum of the electric field energy density and magnetic field energy density.
Velocity also tells you the direction of motion.
Work = (force) x (distance)
1 time: (400 newtons) x (3 meters) = 1,200 joules
15 times: (1,200 joules) x (15) = 18,000 joules
