What is carbon dating

Physics
1 answer:
Tom [10]3 years ago

the determination of the age or date of organic matter from the relative proportions of the carbon isotopes carbon-12 and carbon-14 that it contains. The ratio between them changes as radioactive carbon-14 decays and is not replaced by exchange with the atmosphere.

The atmosphere of Mercury and Mars are very thin. What effect does the thin atmosphere have on the temperature on the surface of
KengaRu [80]

Answer:

Very hot during the day and very cold at night.

Explanation:

Due to the thin atmosphere, they have very hot climate during the day time and very cold climate at night. This happens because they contain very low amounts of greenhouse gases. These gases retain the heat at night. The atmosphere also prevents excessive light and UV rays from entering. The thin  atmosphere leads to many asteroids and comets hitting the surface of the planet. On earth, these asteroids usually, burn up in the mesosphere layer of the atmosphere. These asteroid collisions cause massive fires. This in turn,  causes the temperature to increase during the day. During the night time, massive fires cannot burn due to the low temperature because of the lack of greenhouse gases.

Scientists are making plans to put a probe in orbit around Earth. They want the probe to enter the orbit shown below.
iris [78.8K]

An arrow which shows the direction that the probe should be moving in order for it to enter the orbit is X.

<h3>What is an orbit?</h3>

An orbit can be defined as the curved path through which a astronomical (celestial) object such as planet Earth, in space move around a Moon, Sun, planet or star.

In this scenario, if the scientists want the probe to enter the orbit they should ensure that probe moves in direction X. This ultimately implies that, the probe must move in the same direction as the orbit, in order to enter it.

An astronaut exploring a distant solar system lands on an unnamed planet with a radius of 2530 km. When the astronaut jumps upwa
Natali [406]

Answer:

1.38*10^18 kg

Explanation:

According to the Newton's law of universal gravitation:

F=G*\frac{m_a*m_p}{r^2}

where:

G= Gravitational constant (6.674×10−11 N · (m/kg)2)

ma= mass of the astronaut

mp= mass of the planet

F=m_a.a\\(v_f )^2=(v_o)^2+2.a.\Delta y\\\\a=\frac{(v_f)^2-(v_o)^2}{2.\Delta y}\\\\a=\frac{(0)^2-(4.29m/s)^2}{2.0.64m}=14.38m/s^2\\\\F=m_a*14.38m/s^2

so:

m_a*14.38m/s^2=(6.674*10^{-11}N.(m/kg)^2)*\frac{m_a.m_p}{(2.530*10^3m)^2}\\m_p=\frac{14.38m/s^2(2.530*10^3m)^2}{(6.674*10^{-11}N.(m/kg)^2)}\\\\m_p=1.38*10^{18}kg

A 2.964 kilogram truck strikes a fence at 7.00 meters/second and comes to
Makovka662 [10]

10.92N

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Mass of truck = 2.964kg

Velocity of truck = 7m/s

Time taken = 1.9s

Unknown:

Average force on the car = ?

Solution:

According to newton's third law of motion "action and reaction are equal and opposite".

The force with which the truck struck the fence is the same as the force the fence acted on the truck with but in another direction.

 From newton's second law:

      Force  = mass x acceleration

      We know that acceleration is the change in velocity with time;

   acceleration = \frac{change in velocity }{time }

   Force =  mass x  \frac{change in velocity }{time }

  Force = \frac{2.964 x 7}{1.9} = 10.92N

The various contributions involved till the chapati is made is given below.

<h3>What is food?</h3>

The substance that we intake for the body to charge up by giving nutrients is called the food.

Wheat is a staple food. We make chapati from flour obtained from the wheat grains.

The various contributions involved till the chapati is made is given below.

                 Take required amount of atta in a container

                                                     ↓

                    Add water accordingly to form a dough

                                                     ↓

                 Apply oil to make dough smooth for long time

                                                    ↓

        Take small dough, make it a ball shaped and apply dry flour

                                                    ↓

               Roll it using rolling pin on the chapati maker plate

                                                    ↓

      After making it circular or any shape you want, place it on hot tawa

                                                    ↓

                               Bake it on both the sides

                                                   ↓

                                      Chapati is ready

Thus, the flow chart is made.
