Answer:
8. 2.75·10^-4 s^-1
9. No, too much of the carbon-14 would have decayed for radiation to be detected.
Explanation:
8. The half-life of 42 minutes is 2520 seconds, so you have ...
1/2 = e^(-λt) = e^(-(2520 s)λ)
ln(1/2) = -(2520 s)λ
-ln(1/2)/(2520 s) = λ ≈ 2.75×10^-4 s^-1
___
9. Reference material on carbon-14 dating suggests the method is not useful for time periods greater than about 50,000 years. The half-life of C-14 is about 5730 years, so at 65 million years, about ...
6.5·10^7/5.73·10^3 ≈ 11344
half-lives will have passed. Whatever carbon 14 may have existed at the time will have decayed completely to nothing after that many half-lives.
Check the 1st 2nd 3rd and 4th boxes
Answer:
Explanation:
Case 1:
mass = m
initial velocity = vo
final velocity = 0
height = y
Use third equation of motion
v² = u² - 2as
0 = vo² - 2 g y
y = vo² / 2g ... (1)
Case 2:
mass = 2m
initial velocity = 2vo
final velocity = 0
height = y '
Use third equation of motion
v² = u² - 2as
0 = 4vo² - 2 g y'
y ' = 4vo² / 2g
y' = 4 y
Thus, the second rock reaches the 4 times the distance traveled by the first rock.
Material medium electric waves
The absolute refractive index is equal to the speed of light of the wave in air divided by the speed of light in the second medium. This means that it is equal to 3 x10^8 / 1.71 x10^8. This means the answer is 1.75
