The closure temperature represents the point when isotopes are no longer free to move out of a crystal lattice.

Answer: Option C

<u>Explanation:</u>

The closure temperature can also be termed as blocking temperature. It is mostly used in radiometric dating. As the temperature decreases, below a certain point the isotopes may get freeze in their lattice positions. And there may be slowing of diffusion.

At the closure temperature, that rate of diffusion will be zero as the isotopes will be no longer free to move out of crystal lattice. So, this is termed as closure or blocking temperature. As the isotopes loose their ability to move, their concentration will remain fixed in their position leading to measurement of radiation dating.

Olin [163]

Answer:

t = 0.196 s

Explanation:

The speed of a pulse is determined by the characteristics of the medium, its density and its resistance to stress, as long as these remain the speed will be constant for which we can use the kinetic expressions of the uniform movement

          v = x / t

          t = x / v

calculate

          t = 2/102

          t = 0.196 s

a 1020-hertz sound wave travels at 340 m/s in air with a wavelength of a) 30 m. b) 3 m. c) 0.333 m. d) 1 m. e) none of the above
eimsori [14]

The wavelength of the sound wave is equal to 0.333 m. Therefore, option (c) is correct.

<h3>What are frequency and wavelength?</h3>

The frequency of the wave can be defined as the number of oscillations that occur in one second and can be expressed in hertz. The wavelength can be defined as the distance between the two adjacent points of a wave such as two crests or troughs.

The relationship between frequency (ν), speed of sound waves (V), and  wavelength (λ):

V = νλ

Given, the frequency of the sound wave, ν = 10 Hz

The speed of the sound wave,V = 340 m/s

The wavelength of the sound waves can determine as follows

λ = V/ν = 340/1020 = 0.333 m.

Therefore, the wavelength of the sound wave is 0.333 m

You charge an initially uncharged 65.7-mf capacitor through a 39.1-Ï resistor by means of a 9.00-v battery having negligible int
uysha [10]
In a RC-circuit, with the capacitor initially uncharged,  when we connect the battery to the circuit the charge on the capacitor starts to increase following the law:
Q(t) = Q_0 (1-e^{-t/\tau})
where t is the time, Q_0 = CV is the maximum charge on the capacitor at voltage V, and \tau = RC is the time constant of the circuit.
Using this law, we can answer all the three questions of the problem.

1) Using R=39.1 \Omega and C= 65.7 mF=65.7\cdot 10^{-3}F, the time constant of the circuit is:
\tau = RC=(39.1 \Omega)(65.7 \cdot 10^{-3}F)=2.57 s

2) To find the charge on the capacitor at time t=1.95 \tau, we must find before the maximum charge on the capacitor, which is
Q_0 = CV=(65.7 \cdot 10^{-3}F)(9 V)=0.59 C
And then, the charge at time t=1.95 \tau is equal to
Q(1.95 \tau) = Q_0 (1-e^{-t/\tau})=(0.59 C)(1-e^{-1.95})=0.51 C

3) After a long time (let's say much larger than the time constant of the circuit), the capacitor will be fully charged, this means its charge will be Q_0 = 0.59 C. We can see this also from the previous formule, by using t=\infty:
Q(t) = Q_0 (1-e^{-\infty})=Q_0(1-0) = 0.59 C
