A rubber band has potential energy of 5 J. If the spring constant of the rubber band is 50 N/m, what is the displacement of the

Valentin [98]

To determine the displacement, since we are given the potential energy, we use the equation for potential energy. For a spring, it is one-half the product of the spring constant and the square of the displacement. We do as follows:

PE = kx^2/2
5 Nm = 50N/m (x^2)
x = 0.32 m

Therefore, the displacement would be 0.32 m.

A circuit is set up such that it has a current of 8 A. What would be the new current if the resistance was increased by a factor

RUDIKE [14]

Answer:

4 A

Explanation:

The relationship between current, voltage and resistance in a circuit is given by Ohm's law:

$V=RI$

where

V is the voltage

R is the resistance

I is the current

The equation can also be rewritten as

$I=\frac{V}{R}$

from which we see that the current is inversely proportional to the resistance, R.

In this problem, the initial current is I = 8 A. Then the resistance is doubled:

R ' = 2R

So the new current is

$I'=\frac{V}{R'}=\frac{V}{2R}=\frac{1}{2}(\frac{V}{R})=\frac{I}{2}=4 A$

so the current is halved.

Why do we learn useless nonsense school, why don't we learn what we will actually use in life

laila [671]

I totally agree but, in my opinion its because of the government and what the state has control over. Teacher have little control over it.

Answer:

A meteor is B) an icy body with a long tail extending from it.

Explanation:

Meteors are very small dust particles that, when penetrating into the Earth's atmosphere, burn quickly by rubbing with the gases of the same. Some meteors, those with larger dimensions and appreciable weights, are brighter and can describe longer trajectories, showing longer.

In other words, the meteoroids, celestial bodies can vary in size between 100 micrometers up to 50 meters, they collide with the atmosphere of our planet and if the particles are of a small size, upon impact they enter combustion creating a flash, is what we know as meteor or shooting star. Therefore, the meteor is a luminous phenomenon that leaves behind a persistent trail.

So, <u><em>a meteor is B) an icy body with a long tail extending from it.</em></u>

An ancient club is found that contains 100 g of pure carbon and has an activity of 6.5 decays per second. Determine its age assu

never [62]

Answer:

The age of living tree is 11104 years.

Explanation:

Given that,

Mass of pure carbon = 100 g

Activity of this carbon is = 6.5 decays per second = 6.5 x60 decays/min =390 decays/m

We need to calculate the decay rate

$R=\dfrac{-dN}{dt}=\lambda N=\dfrac{0.693}{t_{\frac{1}{2}}}N$ ....(I)

Where, N = number of radio active atoms

$t_{\frac{1}{2}}$ =half life

We need to calculate the number of radio active atoms

For $N_{12_{c}}$

$N_{12_{c}}=\dfrac{N_{A}}{M}$

Where, $N_{A}$ =Avogadro number

$N_{12_{c}}=\dfrac{6.02\times10^{23}}{12}$

$N_{12_{c}}=5.02\times10^{22}\ nuclie/g$

For $N_{c_{14}}$

$N_{c_{14}}=1.30\times10^{-12}N_{12_{c}}$

$N_{c_{14}}=1.30\times10^{-12}\times5.02\times10^{22}$

$N_{c_{14}}=6.526\times10^{10}\ nuclei/g$

Put the value in the equation (I)

$R=\dfrac{0.693\times6.526\times10^{10}\times60}{5700\times3.16\times10^{7}}$

$R=15.0650\ decay/min g$

100 g carbon will decay with rate

$R=100\times15.0650=1507\ decay/min$

We need to calculate the total half lives

$(\dfrac{1}{2})^{n}=\dfrac{390}{1507}$

$2^n=\dfrac{1507}{390}$

$2^n=3.86$

$n ln 2=ln 3.86$

$n=\dfrac{ln 3.86}{ln 2}$

$n =1.948$

We need to calculate the age of living tree

Using formula of age

$t=n\times t_{\frac{1}{2}}$

$t=1.948\times5700$

$t=11103.6 =11104\ years$

Hence, The age of living tree is 11104 years.
