Answer:

the velocity of the big fish after the launch is 6 m/s.

Explanation:

Given;

mass of the big fish, m₁ = 5 kg

velocity of the big fish, u₁ = 8 m/s

mass of the small fish, m₂ = 1 kg

velocity of the small fish, u₂ = -4 m/s

Let the final velocity of the big fish after launch = v

Apply the principle of conservation linear momentum;

m₁u₁ + m₂u₂ = v(m₁ + m₂)

5 x 8   + 1 x (-4) = v(5 + 1)

40 - 4 = 6v

36 = 6v

v = 36/6

v =  6 m/s.

Therefore, the velocity of the big fish after the launch is 6 m/s.

Ferdinand the frog is hopping from lily pad to lily pad in search of a good fly
loris [4]

Answer: 36.86\°

Explanation:

According to the described situation we have the following data:

Horizontal distance between lily pads: d=2.4 m

Ferdinand's initial velocity: V_{o}=5 m/s

Time it takes a jump: t=0.6 s

We need to find the angle \theta at which Ferdinand jumps.

In order to do this, we first have to find the <u>horizontal component (or x-component)</u> of this initial velocity. Since we are dealing with parabolic movement, where velocity has x-component and y-component, and in this case we will choose the x-component to find the angle:

V_{x}=\frac{d}{t} (1)

V_{x}=\frac{2.4 m}{0.6 s} (2)

V_{x}=4 m/s (3)

On the other hand, the x-component of the velocity is expressed as:

V_{x}=V_{o}cos\theta (4)

Substituting (3) in (4):

4 m/s=5 m/s cos\theta (5)

Clearing \theta:

\theta=cos^{-1} (\frac{4 m/s}{5 m/s})

\theta=36.86\° This is the angle at which Ferdinand the frog jumps between lily pads

The half-life of the radioactive element beryllium-13 is 5 × 10-10 seconds, and half-life of the radioactive element beryllium-1
telo118 [61]
<h2>Answer: The half-life of beryllium-15 is 400 times greater than the half-life of beryllium-13.</h2>

Explanation:

The half-life h of a radioactive isotope refers to its decay period, which is the average lifetime of an atom before it disintegrates.

In this case, we are given the half life of two elements:

beryllium-13: h_{B-13}=5(10)^{-10}s=0.0000000005s

beryllium-15: h_{B-15}=2(10)^{-7}s=0.0000002s

As we can see, the half-life of beryllium-15 is greater than the half-life of beryllium-13, but how great?

We can find it out by the following expression:

h_{B-15}=X.h_{B-13}

Where X is the amount we want to find:

X=\frac{h_{B-15}}{h_{B-13}}

X=\frac{2(10)^{-7}s}{5(10)^{-10}s}

Finally:

X=400

Therefore:

The half-life of beryllium-15 is <u>400 times greater than</u> the half-life of beryllium-13.
