Sound travels at approximately 1,100 feet per second (766 miles per hour). Radio waves travel at the speed of light, which is approximately 186,000 miles per second. This means that in the time radio waves travel the length of a football field, light can travel further than all the way around the world.
Answer:
t = 5.59x10⁴ y
Explanation:
To calculate the time for the ¹⁴C drops to 1.02 decays/h, we need to use the next equation:
(1)
<em>where 
: is the number of decays with time, A₀: is the initial activity, λ: is the decay constant and t: is the time.</em>
To find A₀ we can use the following equation:
(2)
<em>where N₀: is the initial number of particles of ¹⁴C in the 1.03g of the trees carbon </em>
From equation (2), the N₀ of the ¹⁴C in the trees carbon can be calculated as follows:
<em>where 
: is the tree's carbon mass, 
: is the Avogadro's number and 
: is the ¹²C mass. </em>
Similarly, from equation (2) λ is:
<em>where t 1/2: is the half-life of ¹⁴C= 5700 years </em>
So, the initial activity A₀ is:
Finally, we can calculate the time from equation (1):

Answer:
308,000 or 30.8×10^3
Explanation:
v=f×lamda
v is ?, f is 875Hz, lamda is 352m
v=875×352
v=308,000
v=30.8×10^3 m/s
Answer:
θ = 22.2
Explanation:
This is a diffraction exercise
a sin θ = m λ
The extension of the third zero is requested (m = 3)
They indicate the wavelength λ = 630 nm = 630 10⁻⁹ m and the width of the slit a = 5 10⁻⁶ m
sin θ = m λ / a
sin θ = 3 630 10⁻⁹ / 5 10⁻⁶
sin θ = 3.78 10⁻¹ = 0.378
θ = sin⁻¹ 0.378
to better see the result let's find the angle in radians
θ = 0.3876 rad
let's reduce to degrees
θ = 0.3876 rad (180º /π rad)
θ = 22.2º
Answer:
.7917 m/s
Explanation:
This is a conservation of momentum question. You have an object initially at rest (cart) so that object is initially at 0 momentum. Indiana Jones is 83.5 kg and running 3.75 m/s so he starts with a momentum of 313.125 kg * m/s because momentum is equal to mass * velocity. Once the person jumps in the cart, the cart and the person can be considered one object and by conservation of momentum, the momentum of the Indiana-cart system is equal to 313.125 kg * m/s. By that, we can set that momentum equal to the combined mass * joint velocity. So 313.125 = (83.5kg + 312kg) * joint velocity. Then just solve for the velocity. The answer should be smaller than the intial velocity of the person of 3.75 m/s because the mine cart is HUGE at 312kg.
