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.

During science class, while studying mixtures, you mix together iron filings and sand. Your teacher challenges you to separate t
Lapatulllka [165]

Answer : Use a magnet to pull out the iron filings as they are attracted to a magnet

Explanation :  we use the magnet to separate the sand from the iron filing. Because the magnet has an attraction power.

We can say that we can use the magnet to attract the iron filings out of the mixture because iron is magnetic solid, but sand will not attract because sand is not magnetic solid.

So,  we use a magnet to pull out the iron filings as they are attracted to a magnet.

When all else remains the same, what effect would decreasing the focal length have on a convex lens?
aniked [119]
<h3>Answer;</h3>

<u>It would make the lens stronger. </u>

<h3>Explanation;</h3>
  • The focal length is the distance between the optical center or the center of the lens to the focal point of a convex or concave lens.
  • The power of the convex lens is lens ability to undertake refraction or bend light. It is given as the reciprocal of focal length.
  • Power of the lens = 1/ f; therefore the smaller the focal length the higher the power and the larger the focal length the lower the power.
  • Thus; decreasing the focal length of a convex lens makes the lens stronger.

A sled is pulled with a horizontal force of 18 n along a level trail, and the acceleration is found to be 0.39 m/s2. an extra ma
Natali5045456 [20]
From Newton's second law of motion, it is identified that the net force applied to the object with mass m, will make it move with an acceleration of a. This can be mathematically translated as,
                        F = m x a
To solve for the mass of the sled, we derive the equation above such that,
                        m = F / a
Substituting,
                       m = (18 N) / (0.39 m/s²)
                          m = 46.15 kg

Then, we add to the calculated mass the mass of the extra material.
                      total mass = 46.15kg + 4.5 kg
                       total mass = 50.65 kg
We solve for the normal force of the surface to the object by calculating its weight.
                     F₂ = (50.65 kg)(9.8 m/s²)
                     F₂ = 496.41 N

The force that would allow barely a movement for the object is equal to the product of the normal force and the coefficient of kinetic friction.
                     F = (F₂)(c)
                      c = F/F₂

Substituting,
                      c = 18 N/496.41 N
                       c = 0.0362

<em>ANSWER: c = 0.0362</em>

One cubic foot of water can store 312 Btu of thermal energy. On a cold winter day a well-constructed home may require 100,000 Bt
andre [41]

Answer:

Explanation:

Heat capacity = mass x specific heat

heat capacity ∝ mass

∝ volume

heat capacity ∝ volume

H₁ / H₂ = V₁ / V₂

H₁ and H₂ are heat capacity corresponding to volume V₁ and V₂.

312 / 100000  = 1 / V₂

V₂ = 100000 / 312

= 320.51 cubic foot.
