Student wants to measure the half-life of a radioactive isotope. He is told the isotope has a half-life of between 10 and 20 minutes. Illustrating your
answers as appropriate, describe:
a the measurements that he should take
b how he should use the measurements to arrive at an estimate of the half-
life for the isotope.

note: the given question is incomplete.

complete question is given below.

which is an example of kinetic energy?

a. the energy stored in ethanol  

b. a hockey puck sliding across the ice  

c. a compressed spring  

d. a ball sitting at the top of a ramp

solution: the kinetic energy is the energy posses by the virtue of the motion of the object.

in the given options, a, c and d are the example of potential energy because it is the energy posses by the virtue of the rest of the object. but option b has the kinetic energy as the object is in motion.

hence, a hockey puck sliding across the ice   is the apex example of kinetic energy.

so, the option (b) a hockey puck sliding across the ice   is the correct option.
