You have a meteorite sample and you decide to use the uranium-235/lead-207 system to date it. After analysis, you find that it h

as 22,500 atoms of 235U remaining, and 1,477,500 atoms of 207Pb that the 235U decayed to. What percentage of the original amount of 235U is still present?

Originally there must been

1,4775E6 + 2.25E4 = 147.75E4 + 2.25E4 = 150E4 present at start

% = 2.25 / 150 = 1.5 %      of 235 U left

How are energy and mass connected during the formation of an atom? Energy is absorbed, so the mass is increased. Energy is relea
zloy xaker [14]

Answer:

Energy is absorbed, so the mass is reduced.

Explanation:

The relationship between the mass and the energy is given by Einstein formula as :

E=mc^2

m is the mass of an atom

c is the speed of light

When an atom is formed, the energy gets absorbed. As a result mass will decrease as per Einstein's equation. So, the correct option is (c) "Energy is absorbed, so the mass is reduced".

24) a plane takes off at 7:00 pm and lands at 1:00 am after travelling a distance of 4818km. what is the minimum number of times
12345 [234]

Answer:

Twice

Step-by-Step Explanation:

Time between 7:00 PM and 1:00 AM: 6 hours

Distance: 4818km

Since the distance is 4818km, and the time is 6 hours, you divide 4818 by 6.

803.0000015999 km/h.

The average speed is 803 km/h

Which considering the ideal case scenario if the plane starts at 0 reaches the speed of 803 and the end reduces its speed from 803 to 0. This means we have come across the value of 800 at least twice. Hence, the plane was travelling at a speed of 800 km/h at least 2 times.

Falls resulting in hip fractures are a major cause of injury and even death to the elderly. Typically, the hip’s speed at impact
Westkost [7]

Answer:

-5.8868501529 m/s² or -5.8868501529g

0.118909090909 s

Explanation:

t = Time taken

u = Initial velocity

v = Final velocity

s = Displacement

a = Acceleration

g = Acceleration due to gravity = 9.81 m/s²

v^2-u^2=2as\\\Rightarrow a=\dfrac{v^2-u^2}{2s}\\\Rightarrow a=\dfrac{1.3^2-2^2}{2\times 0.02}\\\Rightarrow a=-5.8868501529\ m/s^2

Dividing by g

\dfrac{a}{g}=\dfrac{-57.75}{9.81}\\\Rightarrow a=-5.8868501529g

The acceleration is -5.8868501529 m/s² or -5.8868501529g

v=u+at\\\Rightarrow t=\dfrac{v-u}{a}\\\Rightarrow t=\dfrac{1.3-2}{-5.8868501529}\\\Rightarrow t=0.118909090909\ s

The time taken is 0.118909090909 s
