Sarah and her friends the swim team are playing on the high dive. One of Sarah's friends throws her back pack, containing her sw

im supplies, into the pool from the high dive platform. The back pack weighs 50 N. When the back pack hits the water, it encounters a 50.0 N upward resistance force. The swim coach, who also happens to be the physics teacher says: "This is a great opportunity to discuss the forces exerted on Sarah's back pack!"
Several students in the group made comments to the Coach about the back pack. Which student has the correct analysis of the forces and motion of the back pack?


A) Once the back pack hits the water, the forces are balanced and the back pack will stop moving.
B) The upward force of the water on the back pack is less than the downward pull of gravity. The back pack accelerates until it reaches the bottom of the pool.
C) Once the back pack hits the water, the forces are balanced (50 N down and 50 N up). But when the back pack hits the water, it stops accelerating; it does not stop moving.
Eliminate
D) Upon hitting the water, the back pack will accelerate upwards because the water applies an upward force. The forces are unbalanced; the upward force is greater than gravity.

How old is a bone that has 12.5% of the original amount radioactive carbon 14 remaining?
nlexa [21]
Nuclear decay formula is N(t)=N₀*2^-(t/T), where N(t) is the amount of nuclear material in some moment t, N₀ is the original amount of nuclear material, t is time and T is the half life of the material, in this case carbon 14. In our case N(t)=12.5% of N₀ or N(t)=0.125*N₀, T=5730 years and we need to solve for t:

0.125*N₀=N₀*2^-(t/T), N₀ cancels out and we get:

0.125=2^-(t/T), 

ln(0.125)=ln(2^-(t/T))

ln(0.125)=-(t/T)*ln(2), we divide by ln(2),

ln(0.125)/ln(2)=-t/T, multiply by T,

{ln(0.125)/ln(2)}*T=-t, divide by (-1) and plug in T=5730 years,

{ln(0.125)/[-ln(2)]}*5730=t

t=3*5730=17190 years.

The bone is t= 17190 years old.

WILL GIVE BRAINLYST A flower pot is thrown out of a window with a horizontal velocity of 8 m/s. If the window is 1.5 m off the g
stich3 [128]
-- Use the formula  D=(1/2)·(g)·(t²)  to calculate how long
it takes the flower pot to fall to the ground.

1.5 m = (1/2) · (9.8 m/s²) · (t²)

t² = (1.5 m) / (4.9 m/s²)

t = 0.554 second

-- Use the formula Distance = (speed)·(time) to calculate
how far the pot traveled horizontally in that amount of time.

Distance = (8 m/s) · (0.554 sec)

Distance horizontally = 4.43 meters

A proton moves in the negative x-direction through a uniform magnetic field in the negative y-direction what is the direction of
ANEK [815]

A proton travels through a constant magnetic field in the negative y-direction while moving in the negative x-direction. The proton will be subject to a magnetic pull that is directed into the page. Option B is correct.

<h3>What is the right-hand thumb rule?</h3>

Hold a current-carrying conductor in your right hand with your thumb pointing in the direction of the current then wrap your fingers around the conductor and orient them in the direction of the magnetic field lines.

A proton travels through a constant magnetic field in the negative y-direction while moving in the negative x-direction.

The proton will be subject to a magnetic pull that is directed into the page.

Hence, option B is correct.
