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.

How much heat is evolved when 1234 g of water condenses to a liquid at 100.°c?
lbvjy [14]
During the phase transition vapour --> liquid water, the temperature of the water does not change; the molecules of water release heat and the amounf of heat released is equal to
Q=mL_e
where
m is the mass of the water
L_e is the latent heat of evaporation.

For water, the latent heat of evaporation is L=2257 kJ/kg, while the mass of the water is
m=1234 g=1.234 kg

so, the amount of heat released in the process is
Q=mL_e = (1.234 kg)(2257 kJ/kg)=2785 kJ

Examine the scenario.
vovangra [49]

Answer:

acceleration 8 km/h/s south

Explanation:

First of all, let's remind that a vector quantity is a quantity which has both a magnitude and a direction.

Based on this definition, we can already rule out the following two choices:

distance: 40 km

speed: 40 km/h

Since they only have magnitude, they are not vectors.

Then, the following option:

velocity: 5 km/h north

is wrong, because the car is moving south, not north.

So, the correct choice is

acceleration 8 km/h/s south

In fact, the acceleration can be calculated as

a=\frac{v-u}{t}

where

v = 40 km/h is the final velocity

u = 0 is the initial velocity

t = 5 s is the time

Substituting,

a=\frac{40 km/h-0}{5 s}=8 km/h/s

And since the sign is positive, the direction is the same as the velocity (south).

Anni [7]

Momentum is conserved if and only if sum of all forces which are exserted on system equals zero. In our situation there are only internal forces, so by Newton's third law their vector sum is 0.

So mv=(m+M)v' \Leftrightarrow v'=\frac{mv}{m+M}.

Kinetic energy of system at first: \frac{mv^2}{2}=784\;\textbf{J}. After: \frac{(m+M)\frac{m^2v^2}{(m+M)^2} }{2}=\frac{m^2v^2}{2(m+M)}\approx 1,96\; \textbf{J}. The secret is that other energy is in work of deformation forces (they in turn heat a bullet and a block).

Answer is A)
