The half life of Carbon-14 is 5730 years, how many years would it take for 7/8 of the original amount to decay?
<span>Can somebody please help with this problem. I *think* I understand the basics of what a half life is. If I learned correctly, its the amount it takes for half of a sample to decay. It should also happen exponentially, 1/2 remaining after one half life, 1/4 after the second, 1/16 after the third etc. I'm still a little shaky though. Could somebody please clarify what exactly a half life is and how it can be determined (i.e. how to find the time it would take for 7/8 to decay) </span>
Answer:
2.3 Nm clockwise
Explanation:
Take counterclockwise to be positive and clockwise to be negative.
∑τ = (3 N) (2.5 m) − (7 N) (1.4 m)
∑τ = 7.5 Nm − 9.8 Nm
∑τ = -2.3 Nm
The net torque is 2.3 Nm clockwise.
Answer:
E) momentum and mechanical energy
Explanation:
In the context, an object is attached to the another mass with a spring which is initially at a rest position. Now when the spring is compressed, the two masses moves with the same speed. Now since the both the masses combines with the spring to move together they are considered as one system and in this case the momentum and the kinetic energy will be conserved.
The kinetic energy and momentum of the system after collision and the kinetic energy and momentum of the two masses before collision will be constant.
Answer:
There are two reasons why air pressure decreases as altitude increases: density and depth of the atmosphere. Most gas molecules in the atmosphere are pulled close to Earth's surface by gravity, so gas particles are denser near the surface.
