Answer:

1.25\times 10^{9} years

Explanation:

The half life of potassium 40 is 1.25\times 10^{9} years.

The time taken by the substance to decay into its half the quantity is called half life.

So, the time taken by the potassium 40 to decay by half amount is one half life.

Thus, the life of the rock is 1.25\times 10^{9} years.

So we want to know what is the age of igneous rock if it contains one half of its original amount of potassium 40. The half-life of potassium 40 is 1.251*10^9 years. Since in the igneous rock there is one half of potassium left it means only one half-life has passed. And its age is 1.251*10^9 years or 1.251 billion years.

A person tries to lift each object with a force of 25 N, upward. Which
Vlad1618 [11]

Answer:

Option C. Objects 1 and 3 will not move, and objects 2 and 4 will accelerate

upward.

Explanation:

The following data were obtained from the question:

OBJECT >>>>>>>>> WEIGHT (N)

1 >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> 35

2 >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> 23

3 >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> 26

4 >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> 18

Force (F) applied = 25 N

From the above, the force applied to each object is 25N. Thus the following can be concluded based on the data given above:

For object 1:

Weight = 35 N

Force applied = 25 N

Thus, the object will not move since the weight of the object is greater than the force applied

For object 2:

Weight = 23 N

Force applied = 25 N

Thus, the object will move since the force applied is greater than the weight of the object.

For object 3:

Weight = 26 N

Force applied = 25 N

Thus, the object will not move since the weight of the object is greater than the force applied.

For object 4:

Weight = 18 N

Force applied = 25 N

Thus, the object will move since the force applied is greater than the weight of the object.

From the above illustrations, Object 1 and 3 will not move, and objects 2 and 4 will accelerate i.e move

quester [9]

Answer:

5.88×10⁸ W

Explanation:

Power = energy / time

P = mgh / t

P = (m/t) gh

P = (1.2×10⁶ kg/s) (9.8 m/s²) (50.0 m)

P = 5.88×10⁸ W
