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>
Earthquake S - Waves are examples of transverse waves. The correct option among all the options that are given in the question is the second option. Other good examples of transverse waves are an oscillating string and light waves. A wave is a kind of disturbance that or an oscillation that travels through space.
Answer:
The magnetic field is
Explanation:
From the question we are told that
The mass of the metal rod is 
The current on the rod is 
The distance of separation(equivalent to length of the rod ) is 
The coefficient of kinetic friction is 
The kinetic frictional force is 
The constant speed is 
Generally the magnetic force on the rod is mathematically represented as

For the rod to move with a constant velocity the magnetic force must be equal to the kinetic frictional force so

=>
