Answer:

c. 12,500

Explanation:

Original number of atoms = 100,000 atoms

Half- life  = 10min

Unknown:

The number of atoms that will remain after 10min  = ?

Solution:

The half - life is the time taken for half of a radioactive substance to decay by half.

    Time taken        Number of atom   half life

           10min             100000                   _

           20min             50000                    1

           30min             25000                    2

           40min              12500                     3

a motorcycle is capable of accelerating at 5.1 m/s starting from rest how far can it travell in 1.5 sec
Katarina [22]
The answer is 21m because the motion is in one dimension with constant acceleration.

The initial velocity is 0, because it started from rest, the acceleration <span>ax</span> is <span>4.7<span>m<span>s2</span></span></span>, and the time t is <span>3.0s</span>

Plugging in our known values, we have

<span>Δx=<span>(0)</span><span>(3.0s)</span>+<span>12</span><span>(4.7<span>m<span>s2</span></span>)</span><span><span>(3.0s)</span>2</span>=<span>21<span>m</span></span></span>

b. What would the momentum be if the mass of the bowling ball were doubled and its velocity still was 3 m/s?​
umka2103 [35]

Answer:

Twice.

Explanation:

The momentum of an object is given by :

p = mv

Where

m is mass and v is the velocity

If the mass of the ball were doubled, m'=2m and v'=v=3 m/s

New momentum,

p'=m'v'

p'=2m × v

p'=2mv

or

p'=2p

So, the new momentum becomes twice the initial momentum.

A visible light has a wavelength of 727.3 nm. Determine its frequency, energy per photon, and color.
Snezhnost [94]

Answer:

f=4.12\times 10^{14}\ Hz and E=2.73\times 10^{-19}\ J

Explanation:

The wavelength of a visible light is 727.3 nm.

727.3\ nm=727.3 \times 10^{-9}\ m

The formula is as follows :

c=f\lambda

f is the frequency of the visible light

f=\dfrac{c}{\lambda}\\\\f=\dfrac{3\times 10^8}{727.3 \times 10^{-9}}\\\\f=4.12\times 10^{14}\ Hz

Energy of a photon is given by :

E = hf, h is Planck's constant

E=6.63\times 10^{-34}\times 4.12\times 10^{14}\\\\E=2.73\times 10^{-19}\ J

Red color has a frequency of 4.12\times 10^{14}\ Hz and energy per photon is 2.73\times 10^{-19}\ J.

An action force is 40 N to the right. The reaction force must be: A. 20 N left B. 40 N left C. 20 N right D. 40 N right
Sergeeva-Olga [200]

Answer:

The answer to your question is letter B.

Explanation:

To answer this question, we must remember the third law of motion of Newton that states that For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction.

Then, if the action force is 40 N to the right, the reaction force must be 40 N to the left.
