Speed is simply the rate of change of motion

Speed is the distance traveled by a body in a unit time.

Velocity is direction - aware & it is rate of change of position of an object.

Velocity is the displacement coved by a body in a unit time.

Answer:

the decay of half of the nuclei only a half-life has passed , b) in rock time it is 1 108 years

Explanation:

The radioactive decay is given by

N = N₀ $e^{\lambda t}$

If half of the atoms have decayed

½ N₀ = N₀ $e^{\lambda t}$

½ = $e^{\lambda t}$ ₀

Ln 0.5 = - λ t

t = - ln 0.5 /λ

The definition of average life time is

$T_{1/2}$ = ln 2 / λ

λ = ln 2 / $T_{1/2}$

λ = 0.693 / 100 10⁶

λ = 0.693 10⁻⁸ years

We replace

t = -ln 0.5 / 0.693 10⁻⁸

t = 10⁸ years

We see that for the decay of half of the nuclei only a half-life has passed

b) in rock time it is 1 108 years

Answer:

The centripetal force is provided by the x component of the Normal Force.

Explanation:

The centripetal force is a force that makes something to follow a cicular trayectory, this force is always oriented to the center of the circunferency-

So you can see in the image that i attached there is only two forces actting on the car, the normal force and the weigth, and as you can see the y component of the normal force cancels with the weigth, but the x component of the normal force (as it has nothing to cancel with) makes the car follow the circular trayectory so this is the centripetal force.
