A tissue donor is what you're probably looking for. :)
Since the basketball and the tennis ball both travel to the same direction relative to the ground, the velocity of the basketball relative to the tennis ball is therefore the difference of their velocities.
0.5 m/s - 0.25 m/s = 0.25 m/s
Thus, the basketball travel for 0.25 m/s relative to the tennis ball.
<h3><u>Answer</u>;</h3>
1600 years
<h3><u>Explanation</u>;</h3>
- Half life is the time taken for a radioactive isotope to decay by half of its original amount.
- We can use the formula; N = O × (1/2)^n ; where N is the new mass, O is the original amount and n is the number of half lives.
- A sample of radium-226 takes 3200 years to decay to 1/4 of its original amount.
Therefore;
<em>1/4 = 1 × (1/2)^n</em>
<em>1/4 = (1/2)^n </em>
<em>n = 2 </em>
Thus; <em>3200 years is equivalent to 2 half lives.</em>
<em>Hence, the half life of radium-226 is 1600 years</em>

Option 2 is the correct answer.</h2>
Explanation:
Elastic collision means kinetic energy and momentum are conserved.
Let the mass of object be m and M.
Initial velocity object 1 be u₁, object 2 be u₂
Final velocity object 1 be v₁, object 2 be v₂
Initial momentum = m x u₁ + M x u₂ = 3 x 8 + M x 0 = 24 kgm/s
Final momentum = m x v₁ + M x v₂ = 3 x v₁ + M x 6 = 3v₁ + 6M
Initial kinetic energy = 0.5 m x u₁² + 0.5 M x u₂² = 0.5 x 3 x 8² + 0.5 x M x 0² = 96 J
Final kinetic energy = 0.5 m x v₁² + 0.5 M x v₂² = 0.5 x 3 x v₁² + 0.5 x M x 6² = 1.5 v₁² + 18 M
We have
Initial momentum = Final momentum
24 = 3v₁ + 6M
v₁ + 2M = 8
v₁ = 8 - 2M
Initial kinetic energy = Final kinetic energy
96 = 1.5 v₁² + 18 M
v₁² + 12 M = 64
Substituting v₁ = 8 - 2M
(8 - 2M)² + 12 M = 64
64 - 32M + 4M² + 12 M = 64
4M² = 20 M
M = 5 kg
Option 2 is the correct answer.
