An example of conductors of heat would be iron pans. a example of electric insulators would be copper, gold and silver. to contrast conductors and insulators, insulators let electricity pass through them while conductors restricts electricity. both conductors and insulators can work with lithium and sodium.

Carbon-14 is used to determine the time an organism was living. The amount of carbon-14 an organism has is constant with the atm

Answer:

The age of the organism is approximately 11460 years.

Explanation:

The amount of carbon-14 decays exponentially in time and is defined by the following equation:

$\frac{n(t)}{n_{o}} = e^{-\frac{t}{\tau} }$ (1)

Where:

$n_{o}$ - Initial amount of carbon-14.

$n(t)$ - Current amount of carbon-14.

$t$ - Time, measured in years.

$\tau$ - Time constant, measured in years.

Then, we clear the time within the formula:

$t = -\tau \cdot \ln \frac{n(t)}{n_{o}}$ (2)

In addition, time constant can be calculated by means of half-life of carbon-14 ( $t_{1/2}$ ), measured in years:

$\tau = \frac{t_{1/2}}{\ln 2}$

If we know that $\frac{n(t)}{n_{o}} = 0.25$ and $t_{1/2} = 5730\,yr$ , then the age of the organism is:

$\tau = \frac{5730\,yr}{\ln 2}$

$\tau \approx 8266.643\,yr$

$t = -(8266.643\,yr)\cdot \ln 0.25$

$t \approx 11460.001\,yr$

The age of the organism is approximately 11460 years.

How many seconds will it take for a the International Space Station to travel 450 km at a rate of 100 m/s?

SVEN [57.7K]

Time = (distance) / (speed)

<em></em>

Time = (450 km) / (100 m/s)

Time = (450,000 m) / (100 m/s)

Time = <em>4500 seconds </em>(that's 75 minutes)

Note:

This is about HALF the speed of the passenger jet you fly in when you go to visit Grandma for Christmas.

If the International Space Station flew at this speed, it would immediately go ker-PLUNK into the ocean.

The speed of the International Space Station in its orbit is more like 3,100 m/s, not 100 m/s.
