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

rbon (5.4 dis/min*gC). If living organisms have a decay rate of 15.3 dis/min*gC, how old is this skull

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

Suppose the coefficient of static friction between the road and the tires on a car is 0.638 and the car has no negative lift. Wh
larisa [96]

Answer:

12.6332454263 m/s

Explanation:

m = Mass of car

v = Velocity of the car

\mu = Coefficient of static friction = 0.638

g = Acceleration due to gravity = 9.81 m/s²

r = Radius of turn = 25.5 m

When the car is on the verge of sliding we have the force equation

\dfrac{mv^2}{r}=\mu mg\\\Rightarrow v=\sqrt{\mu gr}\\\Rightarrow v=\sqrt{0.638\times 9.81\times 25.5}\\\Rightarrow v=12.6332454263\ m/s

The speed of the car that will put it on the verge of sliding is 12.6332454263 m/s

I know the enthalpy of a reaction is 23kj/mol. Initially the reaction is taking place at 273 k. To what temperature do i need to
Vladimir79 [104]

Answer:

293k

Explanation:

In this question, we are asked to calculate the temperature to which the reaction must be heated to double the equilibrium constant.

To find this value, we will need to use the Van’t Hoff equation.

Answer the following question​
Ray Of Light [21]

Answer:

A) OA, AB, BC

B) 25m/s^2

C) see explanation

D) 25

E) Rest

Explanation:

From the Velocity time graph shown:

The positive slope = OA ; This is positive because, it is the point of uniform acceleration on the graph.

Constant slope = AB, the slope here is constant because, AB on the graph is the point of constant velocity.

-ve slope = BC

B) Acceleration of body in path OA.

Acceleration = change in Velocity / time

Acceleration = (150 - 0) / 6

Acceleration = 150/6 = 25m/s^2

C) Path AB is Parallel to the because it marks the period of constant velocity (that is Velocity does not increase or decrease during the time interval).

D) Length of BC

BC corresponds to the distance moved, that velocity / time

Velocity = 150 ; time = 6

Therefore Distance (BC) = 150/6 = 25

E.) Velocity =0 ; Hence body is at rest
