Correct Answer: D. The half-life is the time for the number of undecayed nuclei to fall to half its initial value
Explanation:
Half-life is a characteristic decay time at which the undecayed population becomes one half.
Correct Answer: 1.5
Explanation:
Ohm’s law gives I=V/R=12/8=1.500 A.
Correct Answer: 8
Explanation:
Wave speed v=fλ=8×1=8 m/s.

Correct Answer: A. The total momentum of an isolated system remains constant
Explanation:
In an isolated system, internal forces occur in equal and opposite pairs, so total momentum is constant.
Choose an option to check your answer.
Correct Answer: D. It is perpendicular to the direction of wave propagation
Explanation:
A transverse wave oscillates perpendicular to the direction in which the wave travels.
Choose an option to check your answer.
Correct Answer: A. The electric field points in the direction a positive test charge would accelerate
Explanation:
Electric-field direction is defined by the force direction on a positive test charge.
Choose an option to check your answer.
Correct Answer: C. A convex lens can converge parallel rays to a real focus
Explanation:
A convex lens is converging and brings parallel incident rays toward its principal focus.

Correct Answer: 13.75
Explanation:
Speed=distance/time=220/16=13.75 m/s.
