Bezzdna [24]2 years ago

If the half life of an isotope is 20 years, then half of the original amount will  remain after 20 years has passed.

That's what "half-life" means.

Similarly, after ANOTHER 20 years, 1\4 of the original amount remains.

And after ANOTHER 20 years, 1\8 of the original amount remains.

And after ANOTHER 20 years, 1\16 of the original amount remains.

And after ANOTHER 20 years, 1\32 of the original amount remains.

And after ANOTHER 20 years, 1\64 of the original amount remains.

And after ANOTHER 20 years, 1\128 of the original amount remains.

An acorn falls from a branch located 9.8 m above the ground. After 1 s of falling, the acorn's velocity will be 9.8 m/s downward
goldenfox [79]

Answer:

The acorn hasn't hit the ground because it only falsl half of the branch distance from the ground

Explanation:

given information:

h =9.8

t =1 s

g = 9.8

the average speed

v = 1/2 gt²

   = 1/2 (9.8) (1)²

   = 4.8 m/s

the distance in 1s

h = v t

   = 4.8 (1)

   = 4.8 m

the acorn hasn't hit the ground because it only falsl half of the branch distance from the ground

Compute the velocity of an electron that has been accelerated through a difference of potential of 100 volts. express your answe
Elodia [21]

The velocity of an electron that has been accelerated through a difference of potential of 100 volts will be 5.93 * 10^{6} m/s

Electrons move because they get pushed by some external force. There are several energy sources that can force electrons to move. Voltage is the amount of push or pressure that is being applied to the electrons.

By conservation of energy, the kinetic energy has to equal the change in potential energy, so KE=q*V. The energy of the electron in electron-volts is numerically the same as the voltage between the plates.

given

charge of electron = 1.6 × 10^{-19} C

mass of electron  = 9.1 × 10^{-31} kg

Force in an electric field = q*E

potential energy is stored in the form of work done

potential energy = work done = Force * displacement

                                                   = q * (E * d)  

                                                   = q * (V) = 1.6 × 10^{-19} * 100

stored potential energy = kinetic energy in electric field

kinetic energy = 1/2 * m * v^{2}

                        = 1/2 *  9.1 × 10^{-31} *  v^{2}

equation both the equations

1/2 *  9.1 × 10^{-31} *  v^{2} = 1.6 × 10^{-17}

v^{2} = 0.352 * 10^{14} m/s

v^{2} = 35.2 * 10^{12}

    = 5.93 * 10^{6} m/s
