Answer:
Explanation:
Velocity is defined as the rate of change of displacement.
velocity is a vector quantity, that means it requires both magnitude and direction to completely explain the velocity.
For example, the velocity is 5 ms due east, it means an object is moving with speed 5 ms in the direction of east. We can say that the object covers the displacement of 5 m in one second due east.
The correct answer is:
Work is negative, the environment did work on the object, and the energy of the system decreases.
In fact, the work-energy theorem states that the work done by the system is equal to its variation of kinetic energy:

In this problem, the variation of kinetic energy
is negative (because the final velocity is less than the initial velocity), so the work is negative, and this means that the environment did work on the object, and its energy decreased.
Answer:
Thus the time taken is calculated as 387.69 years
Solution:
As per the question:
Half life of
= 28.5 yrs
Now,
To calculate the time, t in which the 99.99% of the release in the reactor:
By using the formula:

where
N = No. of nuclei left after time t
= No. of nuclei initially started with

(Since, 100% - 99.99% = 0.01%)
Thus

Taking log on both the sides:


t = 387.69 yrs
