Explanation:
d frequency I learned it last year
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.
Answer:
High pressure inside the giant planet
Explanation:
As we move in the interior of the giant planet, the pressure and temperature in the interior of the planet increases. Since, the giant planets have hardly any solid surface and thus they are mostly constituted of atmosphere.
Also, the gravitational forces keep even the lightest of the matter bound in it contributing to the large mass of the planet.
If we look at the order of the magnitude of the temperature of these giant planets than nothing should be able to stay in liquid form but as the depth of the planet increases with the increase in temperature, pressure also increases which keeps the particle of the matter in compressed form.
Thus even at such high order of magnitude water is still found in liquid state in the interior of the planet.
Answer:
=170kcal
Explanation:
We first calculate the amount of energy required to melt the alcohol using the formula: MLf, where Lf is the latent heat of fussion
We then calculate amount of heat required to raise the temperature of liquid alcohol to -14° C using MC∅. We then add the two.
Thus ΔH=MLf+MC∅
ΔH=2kg×25kcal/kg+ 2kg×(0.6kcal/kg.K×(-14-⁻114)
=50kcal+120kcal
=170kcal
