The toxic runoff from the farms will directly enters the water bodies of the earth through the drainage system.

The emissions from the cars will go into atmosphere and will react with water and then it will enter the earth's water. So, it is not directly affecting the earth's water.

The dumping trash on roadsides do not enter the earth's water. It can enter the earth's water through rains.

The production of oxygen by trees is not pollution.

Hence, option (A) is correct.

An ancient club is found that contains 100 g of pure carbon and has an activity of 6.5 decays per second. Determine its age assu

never [62]

Answer:

The age of living tree is 11104 years.

Explanation:

Given that,

Mass of pure carbon = 100 g

Activity of this carbon is = 6.5 decays per second = 6.5 x60 decays/min =390 decays/m

We need to calculate the decay rate

$R=\dfrac{-dN}{dt}=\lambda N=\dfrac{0.693}{t_{\frac{1}{2}}}N$ ....(I)

Where, N = number of radio active atoms

$t_{\frac{1}{2}}$ =half life

We need to calculate the number of radio active atoms

For $N_{12_{c}}$

$N_{12_{c}}=\dfrac{N_{A}}{M}$

Where, $N_{A}$ =Avogadro number

$N_{12_{c}}=\dfrac{6.02\times10^{23}}{12}$

$N_{12_{c}}=5.02\times10^{22}\ nuclie/g$

For $N_{c_{14}}$

$N_{c_{14}}=1.30\times10^{-12}N_{12_{c}}$

$N_{c_{14}}=1.30\times10^{-12}\times5.02\times10^{22}$

$N_{c_{14}}=6.526\times10^{10}\ nuclei/g$

Put the value in the equation (I)

$R=\dfrac{0.693\times6.526\times10^{10}\times60}{5700\times3.16\times10^{7}}$

$R=15.0650\ decay/min g$

100 g carbon will decay with rate

$R=100\times15.0650=1507\ decay/min$

We need to calculate the total half lives

$(\dfrac{1}{2})^{n}=\dfrac{390}{1507}$

$2^n=\dfrac{1507}{390}$

$2^n=3.86$

$n ln 2=ln 3.86$

$n=\dfrac{ln 3.86}{ln 2}$

$n =1.948$

We need to calculate the age of living tree

Using formula of age

$t=n\times t_{\frac{1}{2}}$

$t=1.948\times5700$

$t=11103.6 =11104\ years$

Hence, The age of living tree is 11104 years.

Vlad [161]

Answer:

Measuring cup and graduated cylinder

Explanation:

These tools measure the volume of liquid matter. Measuring cups are used frequently in cooking and provide measurements generally in ounces and grams. A graduated cylinder is used in laboratories and in research and allows for a greater degree of precision in measuring the volume.

Which of the following describes the oscillation of the medium in transverse waves?

svp [43]

Wave An oscillation that transfers energy and momentum.

Mechanical wave A disturbance of matter that travels along a medium. Examples include waves on a string, sound, and water waves.

Wave speed Speed at which the wave disturbance moves. Depends only on the properties of the medium. Also called the propagation speed.

Transverse wave Oscillations where particles are displaced perpendicular to the wave direction.

Longitudinal wave Oscillations where particles are displaced parallel to the wave direction.

In a transverse wave, perpendicular to the direction the wave travels, the particles are displaced. Examples of transverse waves include on a string vibrations and on the water surface ripples. By moving the slinky up and down vertically, we can create a horizontal transverse wave.

In a longitudinal wave, parallel to the direction the wave travels, the particles are displaced. Compressions that move along a slinky are an example of longitudinal waves. By pushing and pulling the slinky horizontally, we can make a horizontal longitudinal wave.

Common mistakes and misconceptions

Sometimes people forget that wave velocity is not the same as the velocity of the medium particles. How fast the disturbance travels through a medium is the wave speed. The velocity of the particle is how fast a particle moves about its position of equilibrium.
