8 0

Answer: The half-life is the amount of time it takes for a given isotope to lose half of its radioactivity. If a radioisotope has a half-life of 14 days, half of its atoms will have decayed within 14 days. In 14 more days, half of that remaining half will decay, and so on.

miskamm [114]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given

Weight of person W=652\ N

At highest point Magnitude of the normal force F=585\ N

net force at highest point

F_{net}=W+F_c

where F_c= centripetal force

F_c=\dfrac{mv^2}{r}

F_{net}=F_{n}= Normal Force

585=652+F_c

F_c=-67\ N

Negative sign shows force is in upward direction

At bottom point centripetal force is towards the bottom

F_n=F_c+W

F_n=652+67

F_n=719\ N

An astronaut goes to Mars to do some experiments. Explain why her mass stays the same but her weight changes.
Snowcat [4.5K]
Because mass does not change from place to place but weight does change from place to place... why? because weight is the amount of gravitational force on an object and mass is the amount of matter in an object. mars has less gravitational force so an object will weigh less than it really weighs there
