Write a hypothesis about how the number of half-lives affects the number of radioactive atoms. Use the "if . . . then . . . beca

use . . ." format and be sure to answer the lesson question: "How does the number of radioactive atoms change over time?"
answer- If the number of half-lives increases, then the number of radioactive atoms decreases, because approximately half of the atoms' nuclei decay with each half-life.

Answer:

Explanation:

Answer:

Explanation:

The half life is the time taken for half of a radioactive substance to disintegrate.

The shorter the half life, the larger the decay constant and the faster the decay process.

For a very large half life, it would take a very long time for the radioactive nuclide to decay to half.

With each half life reached, a new set of daughter cell is formed. Atoms that have short half life would decay rapidly. Every radionuclide has its own characteristic half-life.

If the number of half-lives increases, then the number of radioactive atoms decreases, because approximately half of the atoms' nuclei decay with each half-life. With this observation, we can hypothesise and conduct experiment to support the assertion that as the number of half-lives increases then the number of radioactive atoms decreases.

A mass attached to a 50.0 cm long string starts from rest and is rotated 40 times in one minute before reaching a final angular
ch4aika [34]

To solve this problem it is only necessary to apply the kinematic equations of angular motion description, for this purpose we know by definition that,

\theta = \frac{1}{2}\alpha t^2 +\omega_0 t + \theta_0

Where,

\theta = Angular Displacement

\alpha =Angular Acceleration

\omega_0 = Angular velocity

\theta_0 =Initial angular displacement

For this case we have neither angular velocity nor initial angular displacement, then

\theta = \frac{1}{2}\alpha t^2

Re-arrange for \alpha,

\alpha = \frac{2\theta}{t^2}

Replacing our values,

\alpha = \frac{2(40rev*\frac{2\pi rad}{1rev})}{60^2}

\alpha = 0.139rad/s

Therefore the ANgular acceleration of the mass is 0.139rad/s^2

A 0.29 kg particle moves in an xy plane according to x(t) = - 19 + 1 t - 3 t3 and y(t) = 20 + 7 t - 9 t2, with x and y in meters
Artist 52 [7]

Answer:

Part a)

F = 7.76 N

Part b)

\theta = -137.7 degree

Part c)

\theta = -127.7 degree

Explanation:

As we know that acceleration is rate of change in velocity of the object

So here we know that

x = -19 + t - 3t^3

y = 20 + 7t - 9t^2

Part a)

differentiate x and y two times with respect to time to find the acceleration

a_x = \frac{d^2}{dt^2}(-19 + t - 3t^3)

a_x = \frac{d}{dt}(0 +1 - 9t^2)

a_x = -18t

a_y = \frac{d^2}{dt^2}(20 + 7t - 9t^2)

a_y = \frac{d}{dt}(0 +7 - 18t)

a_y = -18

Now the acceleration of the object is given as

\vec a = (-18t)\hat i + (-18)\hat j

at t= 1.1 s we have

\vec a = -19.8 \hat i - 18 \hat j

now the net force of the object is given as

\vec F = m\vec a

\vec F = (0.29 kg)(-19.8 \hat i - 18 \hat j)

\vec F = -5.74 \hat i - 5.22 \hat j

now magnitude of the force will be

F = \sqrt{5.74^2 + 5.22^2} = 7.76 N

Part b)

Direction of the force is given as

tan\theta = \frac{F_y}{F_x}

tan\theta = \frac{-5.22}{-5.74}

\theta = -137.7 degree

Part c)

For velocity of the particle we have

v_x = \frac{dx}[dt}

v_x = (0 +1 - 9t^2)

v_y = \frac{dy}{dt}

v_y = (0 +7 - 18t)

now at t = 1.1 s

\vec v = -9.89\hat i - 12.8 \hat j

now the direction of the velocity is given as

\theta = tan^{-1}(\frac{v_y}{v_x})

\theta = tan^{-1}(\frac{-12.8}{-9.89})

\theta = -127.7 degree
