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 2.5kg object oscillates at the end of a vertically hanging light spring once every 0.65s .
sesenic [268]

Answer:

Explanation:

By the general expresion for this problem, we have:

y(t) = A*cos(w*t+∅)

since: w = 2π/T = 2π/0,65  

For the initial conditions:

y(0) = (0.17cm)*cos(w*0+∅) = + 0.17 m ---> cos(∅) = 1 ---> ∅ = 0°

Then:

A) y(t) = (0.17 m)*cos((2π/0,65)*t)

<u>B part</u>

This means, find the first solution for:

y(t) = (0.17 m)*cos((2π/0,65)*t) = 0 > (equilibrium position)

then: cos((2π/0,65)*t) = 0 ---> (2π/0,65)*t = π/2 ---> t = 0.1625 sec

<u>C part</u>

By definition: (Velocity) v = dy/dt

Then, deriving: v = dy/dt = - (0.17 m)*(2π/0,65)*sin((2π/0,65)*t)

The maximum velocity ocurrs when sin((2π/0,65)*t)  = ±1, then (in absolute value): Vmax = 1,64 m/s

<u>D part</u>

By definition: (Aceleration) A = dv/dt

Then, deriving: v = dv/dt = - (0.17 m)*(2π/0,65)²*cos((2π/0,65)*t)

The maximum aceleration ocurrs when cos((2π/0,65)*t)  = ±1, then (in absolute value): Amax = 15,88 m/s²

<u>E part</u>

<em>For the acceleration</em>, ocurres by all the solution when:

cos((2π/0,65)*t)  = cos(phase) = ±1, this means: phase = {π, 2π, 3π, ...}, all π multiples.

Then, for the position:

<em>y(t) = (0.17 m)*±1= {+0.17 m ; -0.17 m}</em>

<em>For the velocity</em>, ocurres by all the solution when:

sin((2π/0,65)*t)  = sin(phase) = ±1, this means: phase = {π/2, π, 3π/2, ...}, all π/2 multiples.

Then, for the position:

<em>y(t) = (0.17 m)*cos(phase)= 0</em>

Air is a gas and the particles can be pushed closer toegether which is called
Svetach [21]
Gases are easily compressed, the particles have large spaces between them, so it is easy to push them closer together. Gases have very low densities, there are huge amounts of space between particles. Due to the large spaces between particles in a gas you can force the particles closer together using a plunger.
