Why is the use of carbon-14 limited

1 answer:

8 0

Carbon-14 is naturally created with the interaction of high-energy cosmic rays with atmospheric nitrogen. As part of the atmosphere, living organisms take in the carbon and incorporate this into living tissues. As long as the organism is alive and breathing, it keeps adding new carbon-14. When the organism dies, it stops gaining carbon-14 - or anything else, of course.

Carbon-14 is slightly radioactive, with a half-life of about 5700 years. If we assume that the atmospheric production of carbon-14 has been steady for the last 100,000 years, we can calculate the approximate age of when the organism died by determining what percentage of carbon-14 still exists in the dead material.

Paleo-archaeologists and anthropologists use this information when studying old cultures and civilizations.

A uniform sphere (I = 2/5 MR 2 ) rolls down an incline. (a) What must be the incline angle if the linear acceleration of the cen

Liono4ka [1.6K]

Answer:

Part a)

$\theta = 8.05 degree$

Part b)

$a = 1.37 m/s^2$

Explanation:

As the uniform sphere is rolling down the inclined plane then the net force on the sphere is given as

$mg sin\theta - F_f = ma$

also we have torque equation on it

$F_f R = I\alpha$

for pure rolling

$a = R \alpha$

$F_f = \frac{Ia}{R^2}$

now we have

$mg sin\theta = ma + \frac{Ia}{R^2}$

now we have

$mg sin\theta = (m + \frac{2}{5}m)a$

$a = \frac{5}{7}g sin\theta$

now given that

$a = 0.10 g$

so we have

$0.10 g = \frac{5}{7} g sin\theta$

$sin\theta = 0.14$

$\theta = 8.05 degree$

Part b)

If the inclined plane is frictionless then the acceleration is given as

$a = g sin\theta$

$a = 9.8(0.14)$

$a = 1.37 m/s^2$

Answer:

$100m \div \frac{9 \: m}{1sec} = 11.11 \: sec \:$

I guess you can round it to 11 seconds.

Explanation:

Going with a speed 9m/s means you are going 9 meters in each second.

If you are going 9 meters in second how many seconds will it take to 100 meters?

Visually;

9 meters - - - 1 second

100 meters - - - ?seconds.

When you write like this 9 times ?seconds equal to 100 meters time 1 second. (you probably know this but just in case)

So to find ?second you multiply 100meters by 1 and divide it by 9 whixh will give you 11.1111 seconds whixh again I believe you can round it to 11.

(Kind of a) Proof;

If 9m * ?sec = 100 m * 1 sec

you send 9 meters to other side.

?sec = (100 m * 1 sec) ÷ 9m

Hope it was clear and it helps! Please let me know if you have any questions.

A proton enters a uniform magnetic field of strength 1 T at 300 m/s. The magnetic field is oriented perpendicular to the proton’

scZoUnD [109]

A charged particle moving in a magnetic field experiences a force equal to:

$\vec{F}=q\vec{v}\times \vec{B}$

Thus, the magnitude of the force that the proton experiences is given by:

$F=qvBsin\theta$

The magnetic field is perpendicular to the proton's velocity, therefore, we have $\theta=90^\circ$ . Replacing the given values, we obtain:

$F=1.6*10^{-19}C(300\frac{m}{s})(1T)sin(90^\circ)\\F=4.8*10^{-17}N$

The answers to all the research related questions are written below.

Atom is the smallest unit of the element. Different elements have different size atoms and same element have same size atoms.

James Chadwick tracked down the neutron in 1932 and was conceded the Nobel Prize for science in 1935 held in a German prison camp for all of World War 1, he driven the British gathering inside the Manhattan Extend, in which the UK and Canada maintained the USA's World War 2 effort to build the world with nuclear bomb.

Chadwick and Rutherford were the first scientists who measured the nucleus radius using the alpha particles. He did Gold foil experiment to find the size of nucleus.

The contributions are present in the modern atomic model. They are: All matter consists of atoms. Atoms of the same element are the same in size and atoms of different elements are different. Atoms combine in whole-number ratios to form compounds.
