dies, it stops producing oxygen. C. plants and animals are such strong emitters of carbon-14. D. after a plant or animal dies, it stops taking in fresh carbon-14. E. none of the above

D.  There is a known constant concentration of C14 in Nature.  As we consume living things to survive our bodies (made of carbon) stop replenishing our body's carbon (we stop eating) and start to decay.  Since we know the 1/2 life of C14 and the ratio of C14 to normal C12 we can determine fairly accurately how long ago a thing stopped consuming carbon (e.g. when it died)

Maggie walks to a friends house which is exactly 1500 meters due South. It takes Maggie 45 minutes for the walk and Maggie has t
Sindrei [870]

Answer:

<em>Explanation below</em>

Explanation:

<u>Speed vs Velocity </u>

These are two similar physical concepts. They only differ in the fact that the velocity is vectorial, i.e. having magnitude and direction, and the speed is scalar, just the magnitude regardless of the direction. They are strongly related to the concepts of displacement and distance, which are the vectorial and scalar versions of the space traveled by a moving object. The velocity can be computed as

\displaystyle \vec v=\frac{\vec r}{t}

Where \vec r is the position vector and t is the time. The speed is

\displaystyle v=\frac{d}{t}

To compute \vec r, we only need to know the initial and final positions and subtract them. To compute d, we need to add all the distances traveled by the object, regardless of their directions.

Maggie walks to a friend's house, located 1500 meters from her place. The initial position is 0 and the final position is 1500 m. The displacement is

\vec r=1500\ m \text{ to the south}

and the velocity is

\displaystyle \vec v=\frac{1500}{45}=33.33\ m/s\text{ to the south}

Now, we know Maggie had to make three different turns of direction to finally get there. This means her distance is more than 1500 m. Let's say she walked 500 m in all the turns, then the distance is

d=1500+500=2000\ m

If she took the same time to reach her destiny, she would have to run faster, because her average speed is

\displaystyle v=\frac{2000}{45}=44.44\ m/s

A 1400 kg car traveling at 17.0 m/s to the south collides with a 4700 kg truck that is at rest. The car and truck stick together
STatiana [176]

Answer:

Final velocity = 7.677 m/s

KE before crash = 202300 J

KE after crash = 182,702.62 J

Explanation:

We are given;

m1 = 1400 kg

m2 = 4700 kg

u1 = 17 m/s

u2 = 0 m/s

Using formula for inelastic collision, we have;

m1•u1 + m2•u2 = (m1 + m2)v

Where v is final velocity after collision.

Plugging in the relevant values;

(1400 × 17) + (4700 × 0) = (1400 + 1700)v

23800 = 3100v

v = 23800/3100

v = 7.677 m/s

Kinetic energy before crash = ½ × 1400 × 17² = 202300 J

Kinetic energy after crash = ½(1400 + 1700) × 7.677² = 182,702.62 J

The work function for magnesium is 3.70 ev. what is its cutoff frequency?
alexandr402 [8]

The cutoff frequency for magnesium is 8.93 x 10¹⁴ Hz.

<h3>What is cutoff frequency?</h3>

The work function is related to the frequency as

W0 = h x fo

where, fo = cutoff frequency and h is the Planck's constant

Given is the work function for magnesium is  3.70 eV.

fo = 3.7 x 1.6 x 10⁻¹⁹ / 6.626 x 10⁻³⁴

fo = 8.93 x 10¹⁴ Hz.

Thus, the cut off frequency is 8.93 x 10¹⁴ Hz.

The quartz crystal used in an electric watch vibrates with a frequency of 32,768 Hz. What is the period of the crystal's motion?
Elan Coil [88]

Answer:

Time period, T=3.05\times 10^{-5}\ s

Explanation:

Given that,

The quartz crystal used in an electric watch vibrates with a frequency of 32,768 Hz, f = 32768 Hz

We need to find the period of the crystal's motion. The relationship between the frequency and the time period is given by :

T=\dfrac{1}{f}

T is the time period of the crystal's motion.

Time period is given by :

T=\dfrac{1}{32768}

T=3.05\times 10^{-5}\ s

So, the time period of the crystal's motion is 3.05\times 10^{-5}\ s. Hence, this is the required solution.

An aerobatic airplane pilot experiences weightlessness as she passes over the top of a loop-the-loop maneuver. The acceleration
Debora [2.8K]

Answer:

The radius of the loop is  20.66 km

Explanation:

let the radius of the loop be r

mass of airplane is m

At the top, the pilot experiences two radial forces, which are

1) Gravitational force is  mg

2) Centrifugal forces mv²/r out of the center

When the pilot experiences no weight,

then, mg = mv²/r

r = v² / g

 = 450² / 9.8

 = 20.66 x 10³3

 = 20.66 km
