Answer:
Earth orbits the Sun at an average distance of 149.60 million km (92.96 million mi), and one complete orbit takes 365.256 days (1 sidereal year), during which time Earth has traveled 940 million km (584 million mi).
Explanation:
A pingpong ball has 2 kg/s of momentum when
thrown 8 m/s. Find the mass of the ball.
Answer:
0.25 kg
Explanation:
p = mv
2 = m(8)
2/8 = m(8)/8 *cancels
m = 1/4 OR 0.25 kg
There are two different isotopes; X and Y, both contain the same number of radioactive substances. If sample X
has a longer half-life than Y, compare their rate of radioactive decay.
O A. Rate does not depend on half-life
B. Both of their rates are equal
O C. X has a smaller rate than Y
O D. X has a greater rate than Y
Answer:
Half life refers to the time for 1/2 of the radioactive atoms to decay.
Suppose that X has a half life of 10 days and Y has a half life of 20 days
If both start out with 1000 radioactive atoms then after 20 days
X would have 250 radioactive atoms and Y would have 500 atoms
The rate of decay is greater for the shorter half life:
In the example given X must have the smaller rate of decay because it has a longer half life.
