Answer:

Answer: It takes 5,730 years for half the carbon-14 to change to nitrogen; this is the half-life of carbon-14. After another 5,730 years only one-quarter of the original carbon-14 will remain

Why does the light from the touch reach upto only certain distance

ad-work [718]

It is also likely (but not certain) that the photons will be absorbed by atoms. ... Light particles( or photons) never”run out” or loose their energy, so they can go an infinite distance, or until it reaches an object, that reflects the light or obsorbs it. Ie, a planet, or a mirror.

Which is a characteristic of projectile motion?

SVETLANKA909090 [29]

<h2>Right answer: It follows a curved path </h2>

The movement of a projectile is a movement in two dimensions (forming a curved path: a parabola shape) with constant acceleration.

A projectile is any body or object that is thrown or projected by means of some force and continues in motion by its own inertia. This means the only force that acts on it while in motion is the acceleration of gravity (in this case we are on Earth, so the gravity value is $9.8\frac{m}{s^{2}}$ ).

Where gravity influences the vertical movement of the projectile, while the horizontal movement of the projectile is the result of the tendency of any object to remain in motion at a constant speed (according to Newton's 1st law of motion sometimes called Law of Inertia).

The other options are incorrect because are false:

-The forward motion negates air resistance: There is always at least a small percent of air resistance, as long as that movement is done on Earth.

-It has variable acceleration: In projectile motion acceleration is constant (gravity acceleration) .

-It is unaffected by gravity: The only force that acts on the projectile is due gravity.

What effect does Earth’s spherical shape have on the amount of sunlight that reaches the equator?

vaieri [72.5K]

Explanation:

The earth is spherical. So it's middle part is bulgjng outside. So more sunlight will be incident on the latitude near the equator. This will heat the air and it will rise up. This will cause high pressure difference and polar disturbances.

I hope this satisfies you. I hope u will follow me and make this the brainliest answer.

One speed skater starts across a frozen lake at an average speed of 8 m/s. Ten seconds later, a second speed skater starts from

Luba_88 [7]

Answer:

40 s

Explanation:

After 10 seconds, the first skater would have a 8m/s * 10s = 80 m head start

Let t be the number of seconds after the second skater starts will the second skater overtake the first skater

The distance traveled by the first skater after t seconds is

$s_1 = v_1t = 8t$

Similarly the distance traveled by the 2nd skater after t seconds is

$s_2 = v_2t = 10t$

Since the 2nd skater catches up to the 1st one after 80 m behind, the distance traveled by the 2nd one must be 80m greater than the distance of the 1st skater

$s_2 = s_1 + 80$
