How old is a bone that has 12.5 percent of the original amount of radioactive carbon

Physics
1 answer:
pav-90 [236]4 years ago
8 0

The solution would be like this for this specific problem:

 

T = 12.5%

Initial amount = 1

1*2^(-t/5730) = .125

 

\frac{-t}{5730} ln(2) = ln(.125)<span>


\frac{-t}{5730} = -3


\frac{-t}{5730} = \frac{ln(.125}{ln(2)}</span>

 

<span>t = -3 * -5730
t = 17,190 yrs</span>

 

<span>So, <span>a bone that has 12.5 percent of the original amount of radioactive carbon is 17,190 yrs old.</span></span>

What do scientitsts do to easily share mesurment data they can understand
Leona [35]
There are a few ways to do this- unfortunately different fields are better at it than others! Medical research is generally pretty good, some other fields likewise very good, some not as much. Basically, though, what they do is use standadisation- they agree on the terminology, units of data, statistical measures, and so forth, that will be used in that scientific field. As much as possible, every scientist in the field uses those standards so everyone working in the field should recognise it. For instance, in clinical trials, there is very good agreement worldwide on what the different metrics we use are- e.g. in cancer research, we usually want to know the 5-year survival rate (meaning the percentage of patients still alive 5 years after diagnosis). So anyone with the right training should be able to pick up a clinical trial report and understand what the results are and what the report is saying.

In my trigonometry class, we were assigned a problem on Angular and Linear Velocity.
Rzqust [24]

1) 0.0011 rad/s

2) 7667 m/s

Explanation:

1)

The angular velocity of an object in circular motion is equal to the rate of change of its angular position. Mathematically:

\omega=\frac{\theta}{t}

where

\theta is the angular displacement of the object

t is the time elapsed

\omega is the angular velocity

In this problem, the Hubble telescope completes an entire orbit in 95 minutes. The angle covered in one entire orbit is

\theta=2\pi rad

And the time taken is

t=95 min \cdot 60 =5700 s

Therefore, the angular velocity of the telescope is

\omega=\frac{2\pi}{5700}=0.0011 rad/s

2)

For an object in circular motion, the relationship between angular velocity and linear velocity is given by the equation

v=\omega r

where

v is the linear velocity

\omega is the angular velocity

r is the radius of the circular orbit

In this problem:

\omega=0.0011 rad/s is the angular velocity of the Hubble telescope

The telescope is at an altitude of

h = 600 km

over the Earth's surface, which has a radius of

R = 6370 km

So the actual radius of the Hubble's orbit is

r=R+h=6370+600=6970 km = 6.97\cdot 10^6 m

Therefore, the linear velocity of the telescope is:

v=\omega r=(0.0011)(6.97\cdot 10^6)=7667 m/s

Suppose a pulley with an IMA of 2 was used with an input force of 50 N to lift a box 45 cm that weighs 100 N. What distance was
IRINA_888 [86]
The ideal mechanical advantage (IMA) is the number of times in which the input force is multiplied under ideal conditions. If the real force was only 50N, the distance at which the rope was pulled will be twice the distance given in this item. The answer is 90 cm.
