I just answered this and got it correct so the half-life remains the same

The half life period of the rock sample remains unchanged.. it will always be 4.5*10^9 yrs doesn't matter how many times you cut it

A car traveling 91 km/h is 280 m behind a truck traveling 76 km/h.
Olegator [25]

Answer:

speed of car = 95 km/h

speed of truck = 75 km/h

relative speed of car with respect to truck = 95 - 75 = 20 km/h

now we will convert it into m/s

now time to cross the truck will be given as

time = 19.8 s

so it will take 19.8 s to cross the truck

What factors determine the magnitude of the electric force between two particles ?
svp [43]
The electric force between the two particles are calculated through the equation,
 
                          F = kQ₁Q₂ / d²

where F is the force, k is a constant called Coulomb's law constant, Q₁ and Q₂ are the charges, and d is the distance. This equation is called the Coulomb's law. 

It can be seen from the equation above that the electric forces between the objects are majorly affected by the substance's charges and distance. 

The answer to this item is therefore letter A.

A Styrofoam ball has just been shot straight up. Air resistance is not negligible (free body diagram)
timofeeve [1]

In a free body diagram for an object projected upwards;

  • the acceleration due to gravity on the object is always directed downwards.
  • the velocity of the object is always in the direction of the object's motion.

An object projected upwards is subjected to influence of acceleration due to gravity.

As the object accelerates upwards, its velocity decreases until the object reaches maximum height where its velocity becomes zero and as the object descends its velocity increases, which eventually becomes maximum before the object hits the ground.

To construct a free body diagram for this motion, we consider the following;

  • the acceleration due to gravity on the object is always directed downwards
  • the velocity of the object is always in the direction of the object's motion.

<u>For instance:</u>

upward motion for velocity  ↑        downward motion for velocity  ↓

                                              ↑                                                            ↓

                                              ↑                                                            ↓

acceleration due to gravity ↓

                                             ↓

                                             ↓
