Ivenika [448]

(a) +2.60 m/s

The motion of the fish dropped by the seagul is a projectile motion, which consists of two independent motions:

- a horizontal uniform motion, at constant speed

- a vertical motion, at constant acceleration (acceleration of gravity, $g=-9.8 m/s^2$ , downward)

In this part we are only interested in the horizontal motion. As we said the horizontal component of the fish's velocity does not change, therefore its value when the fish reaches the ocean is equal to its initial value, which is the speed at which the seagull was flying (because it was flying horizontally):

$v_x = +2.60 m/s$

(b) -17.2 m/s

The vertical component of the fish's velocity instead follows the equation:

$v_y = u_y +gt$

where

$u_y = 0$ is the initial vertical velocity, which is zero

$g=-9.8 m/s^2$ is the acceleration of gravity

t is the time

Since the fish reaches the ocean at t = 1.75 s, we can substitute this time into the formula to find the final vertical velocity:

$v_y = 0+(-9.8)(1.75)=-17.2 m/s$

where the negative sign indicates the direction (downward).

(c)

The horizontal component of the fish's velocity would increase

The vertical component of the fish's velocity would stay the same.

As we said from part (a) and (b):

- The horizontal component of the fish's velocity is constant during the motion and it is equal to the initial velocity of the seagull -> so if the seagull's initial speed increases, the horizontal velocity of the fish will increase too

- The vertical component of the fish's velocity does not depend on the original speed of the seagull, therefore it is not affected.

Why is the use of carbon-14 limited

Luden [163]

Carbon-14 is naturally created with the interaction of high-energy cosmic rays with atmospheric nitrogen. As part of the atmosphere, living organisms take in the carbon and incorporate this into living tissues. As long as the organism is alive and breathing, it keeps adding new carbon-14. When the organism dies, it stops gaining carbon-14 - or anything else, of course.

Carbon-14 is slightly radioactive, with a half-life of about 5700 years. If we assume that the atmospheric production of carbon-14 has been steady for the last 100,000 years, we can calculate the approximate age of when the organism died by determining what percentage of carbon-14 still exists in the dead material.

Paleo-archaeologists and anthropologists use this information when studying old cultures and civilizations.

Gnoma [55]

Answer:

Explanation:

For constructive interference in thin films by reflected light , the condition is

Path difference = 2μd = odd multiple of λ / 2

Where μ is refractive index of water , d is thickness of water medium and λ

is wavelength of light

λ = 4μd or 4μd / 3 or 4μd / 5

= 4 x 1.33 x 400 nm = 2128 nm

or 2128 /3 = 709.33 nm

or 2128 /5 = 425.6 nm

For destructive interference ( dim reflection )

2μd = multiple of λ = λ or 2λ or 3λ

2 x 1.33 x 400 nm =1064

or 1064 x 2 = 2128 nm

or 1064 x 3 = 3192 nm.
