A 2000 g of C 14 is left to decay radioactively the half-life of Corbin 14 is approximately 5700 years what fraction of that sam

ahrayia [7]

Answer:

1/8

Explanation:

17,100 years is 3 times the half-life of 5,700 years. After each half-life, half remains, so the amount remaining after 3 half-lives is ...

(1/2)(1/2)(1/2) = 1/8

1/8 of the sample remains after 17,100 years.

Describe each class of lever and explain to characteristics of each

Nataly [62]

-- Class I lever

The fulcrum is between the effort and the load.

The Mechanical Advantage can be anything, more or less than 1 .

Example: a see-saw

-- Class II lever

The load is between the fulcrum and the effort.

The Mechanical Advantage is always greater than 1 .

Example: a nut-cracker, a garlic press

-- Class III lever

The effort is between the fulcrum and the load.

The Mechanical Advantage is always less than 1 .

I can't think of an example right now.

Describe the Compton Effect

Nana76 [90]

<h3>Compton scattering, discovered by Arthur Holly Compton, is the scattering of a photon after an interaction with a charged particle, usually an electron. If it results in a decrease in energy of the photon, it is called the Compton effect. Part of the energy of the photon is transferred to the recoiling electron.</h3>
