Answer:1.318 kN/m

Explanation:

Given

compression x=0.16 m

mass of Plunger m=0.0540 kg

Top speed v_{max}=25 m/s

Conserving Energy

Elastic Potential Energy  of spring stored converted in kinetic energy of Plunger

\frac{1}{2}kx^2=\frac{1}{2}mv^2

k\times (0.16)^2=0.054\times 25^2

k=1318.35 N/m

Can earthquakes with a magnitude between 3.0 and 6.0 produce high intensity levels?
laiz [17]
3.0 typically is only felt by people who are resting or on the up stairs of buildings. 6.0 is more intense. I would say a 6.0 can produce high intensity levels. A 6.0 can damage buildings of good design and structure. Damagable in poorly built or badly designed structures. Some chimneys may be broken.

A skull believed to belong to an ancient human being has a carbon-14 decay rate of 5.4 disintegrations per minute per gram of ca
larisa86 [58]

Answer:

9.43*10^3 year

Explanation:

For this question, we ought to remember, or know that the half life of carbon 14 is 5730, and that would be vital in completing the calculation

To start with, we use the formula

t(half) = In 2/k,

if we make k the subject of formula, we have

k = in 2/t(half), now we substitute for the values

k = in 2 / 5730

k = 1.21*10^-4 yr^-1

In(A/A•) = -kt, on rearranging, we find out that

t = -1/k * In(A/A•)

The next step is to substitite the values for each into the equation, giving us

t = -1/1.21*10^-4 * In(5.4/15.3)

t = -1/1.21*10^-4 * -1.1041

t = 0.943*10^4 year
