A. What was your hypothesis? According to your data, do you think your hypothesis was correct? b. What is a half-life?
c. When does a radioactive sample emit the largest number of decay particles? Why is this information important? (How can it be applied in our world today?)
d. Do you think the shape of the curve on your graph would change if you increased the half-life to 20 seconds? What does this reveal about radioactive decay?
e. Do you think the shape of the curve on your graph would change if you started with a smaller sample, say 50 atoms (pennies)? What does this reveal about radioactive decay?

Ateam of astronauts is on a mission to land on and explore a large asteroid. in addition to collecting samples and performing experiments, one of their tasks is to demonstrate the concept of the escape speed by throwing rocks straight up at various initial speeds. with what minimum initial speed vesc will the rocks need to be thrown in order for them never to "fall" back to the asteroid? assume that the asteroid is approximately spherical, with an average density p 3.84 x108 g/m3 and volume v 2.17 x 1012 m3 recall that the universal gravitational constant is g 6.67 x 10-11 n m2/kg2
