Answer:

Half life refers to the time for 1/2 of the radioactive atoms to decay.

Suppose that X has a half life of 10 days and Y has a half life of 20 days

If both start out with 1000 radioactive atoms then after 20 days

X would have 250 radioactive atoms and Y would have 500 atoms

The rate of decay is greater for the shorter half life:

In the example given X  must have the smaller rate of decay because it has a longer half life.

A car is traveling at 21.0 m/s. It slows to a stop at a constant rate over 5.00s. How far does the car travel during those 5.00
Doss [256]

Answer:

d = 105 m

Explanation:

Speed of a car, v = 21 m/s

We need to find the distance traveled by the dar during those 5 s before it stops. Let the distance is d. It can be calculated as :

d = v × t

d = 21 m/s × 5 s

d = 105 m

So, it will cover 105 m before it stops.

The manometer shown in fig. 2 contains water and kerosene. with both tubes open to the atmosphere, the free-surface elevations d
ozzi
The solution for this problem is: In the figure, you now know that total length of the kerosene column
So at x – xPatm + Pkg(H0 th) = Pa + Pwgh
Now H0 + h = 20 + 91.1 mm = 111.1 mm
Therefore = Pkg 0.1111 – P2g= h = 56 x 0.111 – 98 / 1000 x 9.81= 0.081 m or 81 mn
Therefore H0 = 111.1 - 81= 30.1 mm
