A skull believed to belong to an ancient human being has a carbon-14 decay rate of 5.4 disintegrations per minute per gram of ca
larisa86 [58]

Answer:

9.43*10^3 year

Explanation:

For this question, we ought to remember, or know that the half life of carbon 14 is 5730, and that would be vital in completing the calculation

To start with, we use the formula

t(half) = In 2/k,

if we make k the subject of formula, we have

k = in 2/t(half), now we substitute for the values

k = in 2 / 5730

k = 1.21*10^-4 yr^-1

In(A/A•) = -kt, on rearranging, we find out that

t = -1/k * In(A/A•)

The next step is to substitite the values for each into the equation, giving us

t = -1/1.21*10^-4 * In(5.4/15.3)

t = -1/1.21*10^-4 * -1.1041

t = 0.943*10^4 year

What formula do I use for the second question? For number 3 how is one energy converted to the other? ( using arrows ) I get num
Fed [463]
<u>#2</u>
Use the formula ... Kinetic energy = (1/2) x (mass) x (speed)²

<u>#3 - a).</u>
sun => energy travels as electromagnetic waves => reaches Earth as
         heat & light energy.

sun => absorbed in plants => eaten by animals => animals die =>
       decay into oil in millions of years => we burn the oil to get the energy.

<u>#3 - b).</u>
food I ate for lunch => metabolized into glucose by my body
       => some of it burned in my muscles to generate energy for immediate needs
       => the rest of it stored as fat for future needs.

<u>#3 - c).</u>
flower pot rolls off the ledge => gravity does work on it all the way down,
       producing the kinetic energy it has when it hits the floor.

<u>#3 - d).</u>
oil or natural gas is burned, releasing heat energy => energy is used
       to generate electricity => electricity flows through cables from the
       power generating plant to your home => hot plate plugged into the
       wall => turns electrical energy back into heat energy => heat energy
       is conducted into the bottom of the beaker, flows through the glass
       to the inside surface => heat energy is conducted from the inside of
       the glass to the water, which gets hotter as it absorbs more energy. 
=============================

<u>Note:</u>
#1 on the sheet is wrong.
"Work = force x distance"  that's correct
But 25-kg is the <em>mass</em> of the ball, <em>not </em>the gravitational <em>force </em>on it.
The force on it is (mass) x (gravity), called its "weight".
   That's (25-kg) x (9.8 m/s²) = 245 kg-m/s² = 245 newtons .
