Answer:

The artifact is 11,460 years old.

<u>Explanation</u>:

Given that,

The half life of the carbon-14 is 5730  years and we are left with 255 of the sample of wood from an arti-fact.

So it takes 5730 years for the sample to reduce into half

Initially there will be 100% of the sample so

after first 5730 years, the sample reduces into 50% percent

Now the left 50% sample will take another 5730 years to decay into half of its amount.

after next 5730 years  the sample reduces into 25% percent

So totally after 2 half-life the sample reduces into 25%

That is (5730 +5730) years = 11460 years

Using the principle of floatation.

u = w............(a)

Upthrust of fluid is equal to the weight of the object.

Let the volume of the wood be V.

The upthrust u, is related to the volume submerged in water, and that is 1/5 of it volume, that is (1/5)V = 0.2V

Formula for upthrust, u = vdg

where v = volume of fluid displaced
d = density of fluid
g = acceleration due to gravity

weight, w = mg
where m = mass
g = acceleration due to gravity

From (a)

                     u = w

                 vdg =  mg      Cancel out g

                   vd  =  m
 
The v  is equal to 0.2V, which is the submerged volume. Notice that the small letter v is volume of fluid displaced, and capital V is the volume of the solid.

d is density of fluid which is water in this case, 1000 kg/m³

         0.2V * 1000 =  m

           200V =  m

Hence the mass of the object is  200V  kg.

But Density of solid =  Mass of solid / Volume of solid

                                 =    200V / V

                                 =    200 kg/m³

Density of solid = 200 kg/m³

The AC voltage source is connected to an inductor and a resistor in series. If the frequency of the source is increased the curr
DaniilM [7]

Answer:

If the frequency of the source is increased the current in the circuit will decrease.

Explanation:

The current through the circuit is given as;

I = \frac{V}{Z}

Where;

V is the voltage in the AC circuit

Z is the impedance

Z = \sqrt{R^2 + X_L^2}

Where;

R is the resistance

X_L is the inductive reactance

X_L = ωL = 2πfL

where;

L is the inductance

f is the frequency of the source

Finally, the current in the circuit is given as;

I = \frac{V}{\sqrt{R^2 + (2\pi fL)^2} }

From the equation above, an increase in frequency (f) will cause a decrease in current (I).

Therefore, If the frequency of the source is increased the current in the circuit will decrease.
