The acceleration is defined by force divided by the mass of the object. So, When the smaller object is hit by a small force, it can produce equal acceleration which is same as that of the bigger body hit with large force.

<h3><u>Explanation:</u></h3>

Force is defined as the product of the mass of the body its applied to and the acceleration of the body in the direction of the force. So acceleration is force divided by the mass of the body.

Let the mass of the smaller body be m and that of the larger body be M.

The smaller force applied on the smaller body be f and the larger force applied on the larger body be F.

So acceleration of the larger body = F/M.

Acceleration of the smaller body = f/m.

For the accelerations to be same,

F/M = f/m.

Or F/f = M/m.

So when the ratio of the force applied on two bodies is in ratio of their masses, the acceleration becomes equal.

chlorine has two naturally occurring isotopes, Cl-35 and Cl-37. The atomic mass of chlorine is 35.45. Which of these two isotope
Sliva [168]
Cl-35, as the atomic mass of Chlorine (35.45) is closer to the number 35 than to the number 37. A higher abundance of CL-35 isotope would have caused the atomic number (which is an average of the values of all isotopes of a substances taking relative abundance into consideration) to decrease from 36, which would appear to be the average.

The half life for the decay of carbon- is years. Suppose the activity due to the radioactive decay of the carbon- in a tiny samp
EleoNora [17]

The question is incomplete. The complete question is:

The half-life for the decay of carbon-14 is 5.73x10^3 years. Suppose the activity due to the radioactive decay of the carbon-14 in a tiny sample of an artifact made of woodfrom an archeological dig is measured to be 2.8x10^3 Bq. The activity in a similiar-sized sample of fresh wood is measured to be 3.0x10^3 Bq. Calculate the age of the artifact. Round your answer to 2 significant digits.

Answer:

570 years

Explanation:

The activity of the fresh sample is taken as the initial activity of the wood sample while the activity measured at a time t is the present activity of the wood artifact. The time taken for the wood to attain its current activity can be calculated from the formula shown in the image attached. The activity at a time t must always be less than the activity of a fresh wood sample. Detailed solution is found in the image attached.
