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.

From a set of graphed data the slope of the best fit line is found to be 1.35 m/s and the slope of the worst fit line is 1.29m/s
Svetradugi [14.3K]

Solution:

Let the slope of the best fit line be represented by 'm_{best}'

and the slope of the worst fit line be represented by 'm_{worst}'

Given that:

m_{best} = 1.35 m/s

m_{worst} = 1.29 m/s

Then the uncertainity in the slope of the line is given by the formula:

\Delta m = \frac{m_{best}-m_{worst}}{2}               (1)

Substituting values in eqn (1), we get

\Delta m = \frac{1.35 - 1.29}{2} = 0.03 m/s

Which one of the following statements does not accurately describe vibrations?
Ivanshal [37]

This is an example of resonance - when one object vibrating at the same natural frequency of a second object forces that second object into vibrational motion. The result of resonance is always a large vibration.

Answer D. Forced vibrations, such as those between a tuning fork and a large cabinet surface, result in a much lower sound than was produced by the original vibrating body Because this statement contridicts the above statement, it is not accurate

Please answer the question in the picture, worth 25 points
viktelen [127]

Answer:

Option C, increases and decreases

Explanation:

When an object making noise approaches you, the wave frequency increases leading to a higher pitch. Conversely, when it moves away from you or retreats, the wave frequency decreases leading to a lower pitch. This can be observed in ambulance sirens.
