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.

If a person weighs 818 N on earth and 5320 N on the surface of a nearby planet, what is the acceleration due to gravity on that
alexandr402 [8]

Answer:

g'=63.74\ m/s^2

Explanation:

It is given that,

Weight of the person on Earth, W = 818 N

Weight of a person is given by the following formula as :

W=mg

g is the acceleration due to gravity on earth

m=\dfrac{W}{g}

m=\dfrac{818\ N}{9.8\ m/s^2}

m = 83.46 kg

The mass of an object is same everywhere. It does not depend on the location.

Let W' is the weight of the person on the surface of a nearby planet, W' = 5320 N

g' is the acceleration due to gravity on that planet. So,

g'=\dfrac{W'}{m}

g'=\dfrac{5320\ N}{83.46\ kg}                

g'=63.74\ m/s^2

So, the acceleration due to gravity on that planet is 63.74\ m/s^2. Hence, this is the required solution.

What is the instantaneous velocity v of the particle at t=10.0s?
algol [13]
The instantenous velocity is just the slope of the graph at a certain instant. Since the graph is a straight line, its instantenous velocity is uniform through out. v = dx / dt = (40 - 10) / (50 - 0) = 0.6 m/s.


I hope my answer has come to your help. Thank you for posting your question here in Brainly. We hope to answer more of your questions and inquiries soon. Have a nice day ahead!
