If the weight of a submerged object is equal to the buoyant force, what net force acts upon the object?

Physics

Answer:

Explanation:

The weight is acting downwards where as the buoyant force acting upwards (opposite) direction with equal amount of force. so the opposite forces cancel out each other (because of the force amount being equal) and no net force is acting on the object.

A tree falls in a forest. How many years must pass before the 14C activity in 1.03 g of the tree's carbon drops to 1.02 decay pe

Illusion [34]

Answer:

t = 5.59x10⁴ y

Explanation:

To calculate the time for the ¹⁴C drops to 1.02 decays/h, we need to use the next equation:

$A_{t} = A_{0}\cdot e^{- \lambda t}$ (1)

where $A_{t}$ : is the number of decays with time, A₀: is the initial activity, λ: is the decay constant and t: is the time.

To find A₀ we can use the following equation:

$A_{0} = N_{0} \lambda$ (2)

where N₀: is the initial number of particles of ¹⁴C in the 1.03g of the trees carbon

From equation (2), the N₀ of the ¹⁴C in the trees carbon can be calculated as follows:

$N_{0} = \frac{m_{T} \cdot N_{A} \cdot abundance}{m_{^{12}C}}$

where $m_{T}$ : is the tree's carbon mass, $N_{A}$ : is the Avogadro's number and $m_{^{12}C}$ : is the ¹²C mass.

$N_{0} = \frac{1.03g \cdot 6.022\cdot 10^{23} \cdot 1.3\cdot 10^{-12}}{12} = 6.72 \cdot 10^{10} atoms ^{14}C$

Similarly, from equation (2) λ is:

$\lambda = \frac{Ln(2)}{t_{1/2}}$

where t 1/2: is the half-life of ¹⁴C= 5700 years

$\lambda = \frac{Ln(2)}{5700y} = 1.22 \cdot 10^{-4} y^{-1}$

So, the initial activity A₀ is:

$A_{0} = 6.72 \cdot 10^{10} \cdot 1.22 \cdot 10^{-4} = 8.20 \cdot 10^{6} decays/y$

Finally, we can calculate the time from equation (1):

$t = - \frac{Ln(A_{t}/A_{0})}{\lambda} = - \frac {Ln(\frac{1.02decays \cdot 24h \cdot 365d}{1h\cdot 1d \cdot 1y \cdot 8.20 \cdot 10^{6} decays/y})}{1.22 \cdot 10^{-4} y^{-1}} = 5.59 \cdot 10^{4} y$

I hope it helps you!

What is the difference between a good conductor and a good insulator?

brilliants [131]

Answer:

Explanation:

In a conductor, electric current can flow freely, in an insulator it cannot.

Metals such as copper typify conductors, while most non-metallic solids are said to be good insulators, having extremely high resistance to the flow of charge through them.

Most atoms hold on to their electrons tightly and are insulators.

Ammonia gas occupies a volume of 0.450 L at a pressure of 96 kPa. What

Sauron [17]

Answer:

0.426 L

Explanation:

Boyles law is expressed as p1v1=p2v2 where

P1 is first pressure, v1 is first volume

P2 is second pressure, v2 is second volume.

Given information

P1=96 kPa, v1=0.45 l

P2=101.3 kpa

Unknown is v2

Making v2 the subject from Boyle's law

$v2=\frac {p1v1}{p2}$

Substituting the given values then

$v2=\frac {96*0.45}{101.3}=0.4264560710760l\approx 0.426 l$

Therefore, the volume is approximately 0.426 L
