<span>The work done is 3.0 Nm.
We can us the equation Work = Force * Distance, where Force = 75.0 N, and distance is xf – xi = 3.00 cm - -1.00 cm = 4.00 cm. Convert centimeters to meters by moving the decimal place to the left by two places to get 0.04 m. Plug these values into the Work equation:
Work = Force * Distance
Work = 75.0 N * 0.04 m
Work = 3.0 Nm</span>
D. an outside or unbalanced force acts upon the object.
The ball's horizontal component of velocity (ie it's horizontal speed) is 20 cos 40degrees. Without knowing the distance of the ball to the wall it's difficult to go further ...
The half life of Carbon-14 is 5730 years, how many years would it take for 7/8 of the original amount to decay?
<span>Can somebody please help with this problem. I *think* I understand the basics of what a half life is. If I learned correctly, its the amount it takes for half of a sample to decay. It should also happen exponentially, 1/2 remaining after one half life, 1/4 after the second, 1/16 after the third etc. I'm still a little shaky though. Could somebody please clarify what exactly a half life is and how it can be determined (i.e. how to find the time it would take for 7/8 to decay) </span>
