Let's say the distance is D. Then the time going is D/10 sec. The time returning is D/20 s. The total time is 3D/20 s, and the total distance is 2D. The average speed for the round trip is (total distance)/(total time). That's (2D) ÷ (3D/20). That's (40D/3D) which is 13-1/3 m/s. (I thought it was going to depend on the distance, but it doesn't.)

How old is a bone that has 12.5% of the original amount radioactive carbon 14 remaining?
nlexa [21]
Nuclear decay formula is N(t)=N₀*2^-(t/T), where N(t) is the amount of nuclear material in some moment t, N₀ is the original amount of nuclear material, t is time and T is the half life of the material, in this case carbon 14. In our case N(t)=12.5% of N₀ or N(t)=0.125*N₀, T=5730 years and we need to solve for t:

0.125*N₀=N₀*2^-(t/T), N₀ cancels out and we get:

0.125=2^-(t/T), 

ln(0.125)=ln(2^-(t/T))

ln(0.125)=-(t/T)*ln(2), we divide by ln(2),

ln(0.125)/ln(2)=-t/T, multiply by T,

{ln(0.125)/ln(2)}*T=-t, divide by (-1) and plug in T=5730 years,

{ln(0.125)/[-ln(2)]}*5730=t

t=3*5730=17190 years.

The bone is t= 17190 years old.

A makes an angel of 30.0 above the positive x-axis, and B makes an angel of 45.0 below the negative x-axis. A=3.00 units and B=2
erik [133]
I think this is vectors. Sketch the two vectors A and B on the x axis and then find their magnitudes using cosine... i would like to know if i am correct.

When the heat source is removed from a fluid, convection currents in the fluid will eventually ____________then stop.
Blizzard [7]

When the heat source is removed from a fluid, convection currents in the fluid will eventually distribute heat uniformly throughout the fluid.  When all of the fluid is at the same temperature, convection currents will stop.

Does a good insulator prevent energy from getting through it, or slow its passage
9966 [12]
A good heat insulator absorbs all, or almost all, of the heat energy
from any heat that flows through it.

A good electrical insulator absorbs all, or almost all, of the energy
from any electric current that flows through it.
