Answer:
D
A machine can help decrease the input force and increase the output force.
Answer:<span>Humid air is lighter, so it has lower pressure.
The reason is the molecules of water are H2O, whose molar mass is 18 g/mol.
These molecules displaces molecules of N2 and O2, whose molar masses are:
N2: 2*14g/mol = 28 g/mol, and
O2: 2*16g/mol = 32 g/mol.
Then molecules of 28g/mol and 32 g/mol are being replaced with molecules of 18g/mol, leading to a lower weight of the same volume of air, which results in lower pressure.

They're going to come home as soon as the movie is over.
Answer:
8. 2.75·10^-4 s^-1
9. No, too much of the carbon-14 would have decayed for radiation to be detected.
Explanation:
8. The half-life of 42 minutes is 2520 seconds, so you have ...
1/2 = e^(-λt) = e^(-(2520 s)λ)
ln(1/2) = -(2520 s)λ
-ln(1/2)/(2520 s) = λ ≈ 2.75×10^-4 s^-1
___
9. Reference material on carbon-14 dating suggests the method is not useful for time periods greater than about 50,000 years. The half-life of C-14 is about 5730 years, so at 65 million years, about ...
6.5·10^7/5.73·10^3 ≈ 11344
half-lives will have passed. Whatever carbon 14 may have existed at the time will have decayed completely to nothing after that many half-lives.
