Explanation:
1. Mass of an object
2. Distance between the objects
Answer:
Let the second medium be air (n₁=1)
The refractive index n₂ of the medium where first medium is air is found (a)
(a) n₂ = 2
Explanation:
Critical angle can be defined as the angle of incidence that provides the angle of refraction of 90°.
Refractive index of a medium can be defined as a number that describes that how fast a light will travel through that medium.
Critical angle and Refractive index are related by:


To find refractive index of medium with respect to air, substitute n₁=1 (Refractive index of air is 1)
Also θ(critical)=30°
Find n₂ :

Answer:
8. 2.75·10^-4 s^-1
9. No, too much of the carbon-14 would have decayed for radiation to be detected.
Explanation:
8. The half-life of 42 minutes is 2520 seconds, so you have ...
1/2 = e^(-λt) = e^(-(2520 s)λ)
ln(1/2) = -(2520 s)λ
-ln(1/2)/(2520 s) = λ ≈ 2.75×10^-4 s^-1
___
9. Reference material on carbon-14 dating suggests the method is not useful for time periods greater than about 50,000 years. The half-life of C-14 is about 5730 years, so at 65 million years, about ...
6.5·10^7/5.73·10^3 ≈ 11344
half-lives will have passed. Whatever carbon 14 may have existed at the time will have decayed completely to nothing after that many half-lives.
Answer:
- The distance between the charges is 5,335.026 m
Explanation:
To obtain the forces between the particles, we can use Coulomb's Law in scalar form, this is, the force between the particles will be:

where k is Coulomb's constant,
and
are the charges and d is the distance between the charges.
Working a little the equation, we can take:


And this equation will give us the distance between the charges. Taking the values of the problem

(the force has a minus sign, as its attractive)




And this is the distance between the charges.
