Answer:
B
Explanation:
Fermium is a synthetic element with the symbol Fm and atomic number 100. It is an actinide and the heaviest element that can be formed by neutron bombardment of lighter elements, and hence the last element that can be prepared in macroscopic quantities, although pure fermium metal has not yet been prepared.[3] A total of 19 isotopes are known, with 257Fm being the longest-lived with a half-life of 100.5 days.
It was discovered in the debris of the first hydrogen bomb explosion in 1952, and named after Enrico Fermi, one of the pioneers of nuclear physics. Its chemistry is typical for the late actinides, with a preponderance of the +3 oxidation state but also an accessible +2 oxidation state. Owing to the small amounts of produced fermium and all of its isotopes having relatively short half-lives, there are currently no uses for it outside basic scientific research.
Answer:
Yes
Explanation:
Newton's law of universal gravitation is usually stated that every particle attracts every other particle in the universe with a force which is directly proportional to the product of their masses(m1 and m2) and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between their centers(r).
F = Gm1m2/r²
This is a general physical law derived from
empirical observations by what Isaac Newton called inductive reasoning.
when distance is doubled the gravitational force will be reduced by quarter not half.
Answer:
16.1 m/s
Explanation:
We can solve the problem by using the law of conservation of energy.
At the beginning, the spring is compressed by x = 35 cm = 0.35 m, and it stores an elastic potential energy given by
where k = 316 N/m is the spring constant. Once the block is released, the spring returns to its natural length and all its elastic potential energy is converted into kinetic energy of the block (which starts moving). This kinetic energy is equal to
where m = 0.15 kg is the mass of the block and v is its speed.
Since the energy must be conserved, we can equate the initial elastic energy of the spring to the final kinetic energy of the block, and from the equation we obtain we can find the speed of the block:
