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!

Explain how the thermal energy of an isolated system changes with time if the mechanical energy of that system is constant.

Naddika [18.5K]

Answer:

Thermal energy of an isolated system changes with time If the mechanical energy of that system is constant according to the first law of thermodynamics, which states that thermal energy of an isolated system can still change as long as the total energy of that system does not change.

a 42.3 kg girl and a 7.93 kg sled are on the surface of a frozen lake, 15.0m apart and linked by a rope, but not moving yet. the

ycow [4]

Answer:

they meet from the girl's original position at: 2.37 (meters)

Explanation:

We need to use the Newton's law, exactly the second law that relate force, mass and acceleration as: $F=m*a$ with this we can get both accelerations; solving for acceleration $a=\frac{F}{m}$ . Now $a_{girl}=\frac{5.76}{42.3}=0.14 (m/s^{2})$ and $a_{sled}=\frac{5.76}{7.93}=0.73(m/s^{2})$ . Then knowing that they both travel at the same time and assuming that the distance among the girl and the sled is: 15.0-x, so, $x=\frac{1}{2}*a_{girl}*t^{2}$ and $15.0-x=\frac{1}{2}*a_{sled}*t^{2}$ , solving for the time we get: $t=\sqrt{\frac{2x}{a_{girl} } }$ and $t=\sqrt{\frac{2*(15.0-x)}{a_{sled} } }$ with this equations we solving for the x that is the distance between the girl and the sled after the apply the force and we get: $\sqrt{\frac{2x}{a_{girl}}} = \sqrt{\frac{2*(15.0-x)}{a_{sled} }$ . Finally we get: $\frac{x}{a_{girl} }=\frac{(15.0-x)}{a_{sled} }$ and replacing the values we have got: $\frac{x}{0.14} =\frac{(15.0-x)}{0.73}$ so $5.33*x=15-x$ so x=2.37 (meters).
