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

On what factor does speed of sound depend​
velikii [3]

Answer:

For sound waves to travel, there is a requirement of medium and density of the medium is considered to be one of the factors on which the speed of sound depends. When the medium is dense, the molecules in the medium are closely packed which means that the sound travels faster.

Some superconductors are capable of carrying a very large quantity of current. If the measured current is 1.00 ´ 105 A, how many
Zielflug [23.3K]

Answer:

The 6.25 \times 10^{23} electrons are moving through the superconductor per second.

Explanation:

Given :

Current I = 1 \times 10^{5} A

Charge of electron e = 1.6 \times 10^{-19} C

Time t = 1 sec

From the formula of current,

Current is the number of charges flowing per unit time.

   I = \frac{ne}{t}

Where n = number of charges means in our case number of electrons

   n = \frac{It}{e}

   n = \frac{1 \times 10^{5} }{1.6 \times 10^{-19} }

   n = 6.25 \times 10^{23}

Therefore, 6.25 \times 10^{23} electrons are moving through the superconductor per second.

1. A sprinter races in the 100 meter dash. It takes him 10 second to reach the finish line
poizon [28]

Answer:

v = 10 m/s

Explanation:

Given that,

Distance covered by a sprinter, d = 100 m

Time taken by him to reach the finish line, t = 10 s

We need to find his average velocity. We know that velocity is equal to the distance covered divided by time taken. So,

v = d/t

v=\dfrac{100\ m}{10\ s}\\\\v=10\ m/s

Hence, his average velocity is 10 m/s.

An inexperienced researcher runs an experiment and sets his alpha level at .40 because he can't wait to get his firstsignificant
GuDViN [60]

A potential problem is that you are willing to accept a <u>5% </u>chance of being wrong if you reject the null hypothesis.

The significance level is the probability of rejecting the null hypothesis if it is true. For example, a significance level of 0.05 indicates a 5% risk of concluding that there is a difference when there is actually no difference. Rejecting the true null hypothesis results in a Type I error.

The smaller the value of α the more difficult it is to reject the null hypothesis. Therefore, choosing a low value for α can reduce the likelihood of Type I errors. The result here is that if the null hypothesis is false, it may be more difficult to reject using a lower value for α. The alpha value or statistical significance threshold is arbitrary. Which value to use depends on your field of study.
