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.

Un texto de opinión sobre la situación actual del rol de la mujer, el trabajo y las situaciones de violencia en el contexto de P
docker41 [41]

Explanation:

Los derechos de las mujeres fueron conquistados a través de importantes luchas llevadas a cabo por mujeres, como el movimiento feminista que tuvo lugar a fines del siglo XIX, cuyo principal reclamo fue el derecho al voto de las mujeres.

Con el tiempo, las mujeres ganaron más derechos y una mayor participación en el mercado laboral y en puestos importantes de la sociedad. Pero aún queda mucho por cambiar, ya que las estadísticas aún muestran que hay pocas mujeres en posiciones de poder en relación a los hombres, y el salario de una mujer que ocupa el mismo puesto que un hombre es siempre menor.

Dado que la sociedad se concibió a través de parámetros sexistas, lo que continúa en la actualidad, es claro que en la pandemia específicamente que generó crisis económicas en todo el mundo, se vio a una gran cantidad de mujeres perder sus empleos, además del expresivo número de casos de violencia doméstica que se agravaron en el período de aislamiento social.

Así que estos hechos solo demuestran que la lucha por la igualdad de género y los derechos de las mujeres aún están en sus inicios, a pesar de muchos logros que las mujeres aún deben luchar por lo básico, que es el apoyo social y político además de una legislación más estricta que castiga con más rigor a las agresoras. Las mujeres deben estar protegidas por la ley y las instituciones y los medios de comunicación deben abordar más el tema y promover el feminismo como una lucha por la igualdad.

For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction” is a definition of _________ ​
sveticcg [70]

Answer:

These two forces are called action and reaction forces and are the subject of Newton's third law of motion. Formally stated, Newton's third law is: For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction. The statement means that in every interaction, there is a pair of forces acting on the two interacting objects.

A point charge is used to determine the electric field around a charged particle. Why is it necessary that the point charge does
Mnenie [13.5K]
The strength, and possibly the shape and direction, of the electric field
around a charged particle depends on the location of the particle. 

If the process of measuring the field causes the particle to move, then
the measurement you get wouldn't mean anything. 

Your measurements wouldn't show the ACTUAL field around the particle.
They would show what the field is like AFTER something comes along
and distorts it, and that's not what you're trying to measure.

It would be like carrying a flame thrower into a freezer when you go in
to measure the temperature in there.

Or if you had to measure how much light is leaking into a dark room,
and you carried a flashlight with you to see your way around in there.
