∙ 11y agoThe time required for a radioactive mass to reduce by a factor of 2 is called the half-life. It is the time it takes for half of the radioactive nuclei in a sample to decay.
Mainly for two reasons:to reduce as far as possible the radioactivity and hence reduce the radioactivity passive health effects; as the element radioactivity is inversely proportional to its the half live.To reduce as far possible the loss of the radioactive element through its radioactive decay during storage for non use.
reduce the amount of energy required for activation
That is the function of a catalyst.
they reduce the activation energy required for the reaction to occur
they reduce the activation energy required for the reaction to occur
you can't
Kinetic energy is proportional to the square of the speed. If you reduce the speed by a factor of 12, the kinetic energy will reduce by a factor of 12 x 12 = 144.Kinetic energy is proportional to the square of the speed. If you reduce the speed by a factor of 12, the kinetic energy will reduce by a factor of 12 x 12 = 144.Kinetic energy is proportional to the square of the speed.

Radiations are independent from temperature.
no one knows.
The voltage must reduce by the same factor - that is Ohm's law.
The greatest common factor is used to reduce fractions.
Potassium iodide can be administered to reduce the absorption of radiation that targets the thyroid. It works by saturating the thyroid with non-radioactive iodine, thereby reducing the uptake of radioactive iodine.
To be fully welded out plus a fillet of @ 6mm to reduce the stress concentration factor at the bottom toe.
It means to divide by x. For example, if I were to reduce 4 by a factor of x, I would get 4/x.If I reduced x by a factor of x, I would get x/x, which is equal to 1.
To reduce fractions
The parity (odd or even) of a number has no relevance in reducing fractions. What is required is to find the highest common factor between the numerator and denominator. Clearly, if the numerator and denominator are bot even then 2 is a common factor and so it must be possible to reduce the fraction. The highest common factor or even a common factor may not be so obvious when both numerator and denominator are odd.For example, 21/91 = (3*7)/(13*7) = 3/13
Isomeric transition and internal conversion are examples of radioactive decay processes that do not reduce the atomic number of a nuclide. These processes involve the reorganization of the nucleus rather than changing the number of protons in the atom.
