<span> In radioactive decay, an unstable atomic nucleus emits particles or radiation and converts to a different atomic nucleus. If the new nucleus is unstable, it will decay again, until eventually, a stable nucleus is formed. Such a sequence of nuclear decays forms a decay series.
The half-life of a radioactive substance is the time required for half of the atoms of a radioactive isotope to decay. If you have, say, 1 million atoms of a specific isotope in a sample, the time required for 500,000 of those atoms to decay is the half-life of that specific isotope. If you have 50 atoms of that isotope, 25 atoms will decay in the same amount of time.
Because the half-life is fixed for a specific isotope, it can be used to date objects. You compare the decay rate of an old object with the decay rate of a fresh sample. Nuclear decay is a first-order process and can be described by a specific mathematical equation, which depends on the decay rate and the half-life. Knowing those values, you can work back and determine the age of an object, as compared with a standard sample. Old objects will not have as much of a radioactive isotope in them as new objects, since the isotopes will have decayed over time in the old object.</span>
Alright, so solving for the net force is a rather simple and easy step. I want to briefly explain how you determine the net force, but before I do, let's examine the problem together. What has been provided to us? What direction is it going? Well, we can look at the information!
Amanda's Force: 5 N
Jeremiah's Force: 10 N
They're both pushing on the books, but in different directions. Left and right. If Amanda is pushing the books to the right 5 newtons, and Jeremiah is pushing the books to the left with 10 newtons, that means the net force is 5. The book is being pushed to the left! We can say that because Jeremiah's force is much larger than his sisters.
We can determine the net force from the following;
Net Force → 10 N - 5 N = 5 N
In conclusion, your answer should be a total of five (5) newtons
Without a bulb energy cant go through and it would be an open circuit blocking the energy from coming out.
Answer:
2.4 m
Explanation:
Consider the motion along the vertical direction
= initial position of ball above the ground = 4.5 m
= time taken by the ball to hit the smokestack = 0.65 s
= initial velocity of the ball along vertical direction
= acceleration due to gravity = - 9.8 m/s²
= position of ball at the time of hitting the smokestack
Using the kinematics equation
inserting the above values
