The half life for C14 is 5730 years.

We assume that Carbon 14/ Carbon 12 ratio was steady for living organisms over time, the problem is actually telling us that
\frac{Nt}{N0} = 0.0725 = \frac{1}{2}ˣ

Take the natural logarithm and In on both sides.
ln(0.725) = ln\frac{1}{2}ˣ
= - 0.3216 = xln (\frac{1}{2} = -0.6931x.
So x = (-.3216) / (-0.6931) = 0.464
or

t/t₁/₂ = 0.464
So t = 0.464 x t₁/₂ = 0.464 * 5730 yrs = 2660 years.

How much power is used if a force of 54 newtons is used to pull a wagon a distance of 10 meters in 6 seconds? 3,240 W 90 W 32.4
timama [110]
Power is defined in a mathematical expression as P = F x v where F is in N and v is in m/s. From the given equation, the v = d/t which is v = 10/ 6, then substituting the answer to the power formula W = 54 N (10/6 m/s) = 90 Watts.

Three 6−l flasks, fixed with pressure gauges and small valves, each contain 6 g of gas at 276 k. flask a contains ch4, flask b c
Margaret [11]

First, please check the missing part in your question in the attachment.

a) So first, the Rank of pressure:

according to this formula PV = nRT and when n = m/Mw

PV = m/Mw * R*T

when we have the same mass m and the same V volume so P will proportional with the mole weight M as when the M is smaller the pressure will be greater 

when Mw of H2(A) = 2 g / Mw of He (B) = 4 g and Mw of CH4(C) = 16 g

∴ Pressure :

 (A) > (B) > (c)

B) The rank of average molecular kinetic energy:

when K = 3/2 KB T

when K is the average kinetic energy per molecule of gas 

and KB is Boltzmann's constant

and T is the temperature (K)

So from this equation, we can know that K only depends on T value, and when we have the T constant here for A, B, and C So the rank of K will be like the following:

∴ A = B = C

C) the rank of diffusion rate after the valve is opened:

according to this formula:

R2/R1 = √M1/M2

from this equation, we can see that diffusion is proportional to the reciprocal of the molecular mass M so,

when Mw H2 (A) = 2 g & Mw He(B) = 4 g & CH4 (C) = 16 g

∴ the rank of diffusion:

A > B > C

D) The rank of the Total kinetic energy of the molecules:

when we have the Mw different so it will make the no.of molecules differs as when the Mw is low the no.of molecules will be hight, and when the average molecular kinetic energy equals. so the total kinetic energy will depend on no. of molecules 

∵ Mw A < Mw B < Mw C 

∴no .of molecules of A > B >C

∴ the rank of total kinetic energy is:

A > B > C

e) the rank of density:

when ρ = m/ v 

and m is the mass & v is the volume and we have both is the same for A, B, and C

so the density also will be the same, ∴ the rank of the density is:

A = B = C

F) the rank of the collision frequency:

as the no.of molecules increase the collision frequency increase and depend also on the velocity and it's here the same.

∴ Collision frequency will only depend on the no.of molecules

we have no.of molecules of A > B > C as Mw A < B < C 

∴the rank of the collision frequency is:

A > B > C
