What is the displacement of a person that ran 15 minutes if he or she runs at an average velocity of 16 km/hr west

The half-life of carbon-14 is 5730 years. how long will it take for 7/8 of a sample of carbon-14 to decay

wlad13 [49]

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>

an experiment is set up to measure the effect of a gasoline additive on fuel consumption rate. what would be the control in this

Tamiku [17]

The control setup in this experiment would be one tank that does not contain any of the additives. Since the tanks with the gasoline additives would need to be compared with a tank that is not affected by the results of these additives.

A 12.0-g bullet is fired horizontally into a 109-g wooden block that is initially at rest on a frictionless horizontal surface a

kykrilka [37]

Answer:

v₀ = 280.6 m / s

Explanation:

we have the shock between the bullet and the block that we can work with at the moment and another part where the assembly (bullet + block) compresses a spring, which we can work with mechanical energy,

We write the mechanical energy when the shock has passed the bodies

Em₀ = K = ½ (m + M) v²

We write the mechanical energy when the spring is in maximum compression

$Em_{f} = K_{e} \\= \frac{1}{2} kx^2\\ Em_0 = Em_{f}$

½ (m + M) v² = ½ k x²

Let's calculate the system speed

v = √ [k x² / (m + M)]

v = √[152 ×0.78² / (0.012 +0.109) ]

v = 27.65 m / s

This is the speed of the bullet + Block system

Now let's use the moment to solve the shock

Before the crash

p₀ = m v₀

After the crash

$p_{f} = (m + M) v$

The system is formed by the bullet and block assembly, so the forces during the crash are internal and the moment is preserved

$p_0 = p_{f}$

m v₀ = (m + M) v

v₀ = v (m + M) / m

let's calculate

v₀ = 27.83 (0.012 +0.109) /0.012

v₀ = 280.6 m / s

A long solenoid that has 1,130 turns uniformly distributed over a length of 0.430 m produces a magnetic field of magnitude 1.00

sweet-ann [11.9K]

Given Information:

Number of turns = N = 1130 turns

Length of solenoid = L = 0.430 m

Magnetic field = B = 1.0x10⁻⁴ T

Required Information:

Current = I = ?

Answer:

I = 0.0302 A

Explanation:

The current flowing in the solenoid winding can be found using

I = BL/μ₀N

Where μ₀ is the permeability of free space, N is the number of turns, B is the magnetic field and L is the length of solenoid

I = 1.0x10⁻⁴*0.430/4πx10⁻⁷ *1130

I = 0.0302 A

or

I = 30.28 mA
