A sample from a meteorite that landed on Earth has been analyzed, and the result shows that out of every 1,000 nuclei of potassi

um-40 originally in the meteorite, only 250 are still present, meaning they have not yet decayed. How old is the meteorite (in yr)?

I just did 1,000 nuclei divided by 250 and got 4.
The answer is 4 years.
Hope this helps!

a brand of a lightbulb has a power of 55w and an efficiency of 1.6% how much power is wasted as heat by this lightbulb
Maru [420]
98.4% of the power turns into heat.

If the bulb consumes 55 watts,
then it "wastes"

(0.984) x (55w) = 54.12 watts

Block b rests upon a smooth surface. if the coefficients of static and kinetic friction between a and b are μs = 0.4 and μk = 0.
aliina [53]

Given

Weight of the block A, Wa = 20 lb, weight of block B Wb = 50 lb. Applied force to block A, P = 6lb, coefficient of static friction µs = 0.4, coefficient of kinetic friction µk = 0.3. If a force P is applied to the body, no relative motion will take place until the applied force is equal to the force of friction Ff, which is acting opposite to the direction of motion. Magnitude of static force of friction between block A and block B, Fs = µsN, where N is reaction force acting on block A. Now, resolve the forces Fx = max. P = (mA + mB)a,

 

6 = (20 / 32.2 + 50 / 32.2)a

 

2.173a = 6

 

A = 2.76 ft/s^2

 

To check slipping occurs between block A and block B, consider block A:

P – Ff = mAaA

6 – Ff = 1.71

Ff = 4.29 lb

 

And also,

N = wA. We know static friction,

Fs = µsN

Fs = 0.4 x 20

Fs = 8lb

Frictional force is less than static friction. Ff < Fs

<span>Therefors, acceleration of block A, aA = 2.76 ft/s^2, acceleration of block B aB = 2.76 ft/s^2</span>

A city planner is working on the redesign of a hilly portion of a city. An important consideration is how steep the roads can be
Artyom0805 [142]

Explanation:

It is known that relation between force and acceleration is as follows.

                      F = m \times a

I is given that, mass is 1090 kg and acceleration is 21 m/s. Therefore, we will calculate force as follows.

              F = m \times a      

                 = 1090 \times (\frac{21}{16})

                 = 1430.625 N

Also, it is known that

      sin(\theta) = \frac{\text{Force car can exert}}{\text{Force gravity pulls car}}

      sin(\theta) = \frac{1430.625 N}{(1090 \times 9.8) N}

        \theta = 7.70 degrees

Thus, we can conclude that the maximum steepness for the car to still be able to accelerate is 7.70 degrees.
