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.

Which substance is an acid ?
DENIUS [597]

Answer:

if you like my answer markme barinlest:)

Explanation:

An acid is a substance or compound that releases hydrogen ions (H+) when in solution. In a strong acid, such as hydrochloric acid (HCl), all hydrogen ions (H+), and chloride ions (Cl-) dissociate (separate) when placed in water and these ions are no longer held together by ionic bonding.

2001240Determine the specific kinetic energy of a mass whose velocity is 40 m/s, in kJ/kg.
guapka [62]

Answer:

The specific kinetic energy of a mass is 0.8 kJ/kg

Explanation:

Given that,

Velocity = 40 m/s

Specific kinetic energy is the kinetic energy per unit mass.

We need to calculate the specific kinetic energy

Using formula of specific kinetic energy

K.E=\dfrac{\dfrac{1}{2}mv^2}{m}

K.E=\dfrac{v^2}{2}

Put the value into the formula

K.E=\dfrac{40^2}{2}

K.E=800\ J/kg

We know that,

1 kJ = 1000 J

or, 1J=0.001 KJ

The specific energy is

K.E=800\times0.001

K.E=0.8\ kJ/kg

Hence, The specific kinetic energy of a mass is 0.8 kJ/kg

A ball hangs on the end of a string that is connected to the ceiling so that it swings like a pendulum. You pull the ball up so
saw5 [17]

Answer:

When extra energy is added

Explanation:

When the ball is released from rest and swings back towards your face, it will only pass closer to the end of the nose as per the initial conditions. However, when extra energy is added to the ball, it strikes the nose since its velocity and heights are increased. Therefore, the only condition under which the ball hits your nose is when extra energy is added to the system.

The main purpose of a forester is to identify land for timber harvesting.
Alex Ar [27]
This statement would be FALSE.

Foresters engage in timber harvesting, ecological restoration and management of protected areas. They <span>survey and assess the health and status of public and privately owned woodlands, and develop conservation and management strategies. They protect wildlife habitats and address problems such as soil erosion, invasive species and pests that undermine tree health.</span>
