The C-14 decay is used to estimate the age of an old dead tree. The activity of C-14 in the dead tree is determined to have fall

en to 21% of its original value. C-14 has a half-life of 5700 years. Calculate, in years, the age of the dead tree.

A 57-gram tennis ball moving at 70 miles per hour is hit with a 110-gram tennis racquet moving at 60 miles per hour. Which state
Whitepunk [10]

Answer:

D. Because mass and energy are both conserved, the total amounts of mass and energy are the same before and after impact.

Explanation:

As we know that, the energy in motion is Kinetic Energy mathematically given as:

KE=\frac{1}{2} m.v^2

<u>Now, according to the law of conservation of energy:</u>

\frac{1}{2} m_1.u_1^2+\frac{1}{2} m_2.u_2^2=\frac{1}{2} m_1.v_1^2+\frac{1}{2} m_2.v_2^2

where:

m_1\ \&\ m_2 mass of racquet and ball respectively and u_1\ \&\ u_2 are their respective initial velocities.

v_1\ \&\ v_2 are the respective final velocities.

<u>Also the law of conservation of momentum is applicable in this case:</u>

m_1.u_1+ m_2.u_2= m_1.v_1+m_2.v_2

In this case the velocity of the lighter mass will get increases in the final condition.
