<h3><u>Answer;</u></h3>

Carbon-14 levels in a sample are undetectable after approximately 9 half lives

<h3><u>Explanation;</u></h3>
  • <em><u>The half life of Carbon-14 is 5,730 years . Half life is the time taken by a radioactive material to decay by half of its original mass.  Therefore, it  would take a time of 5730 years for a sample of 100 g of carbon-14 to decay to 50 grams</u></em>
  • <em><u>A period of 50,000 years, is equivalent to; </u></em>

<em><u>  50,000÷5,730 </u></em>

<em><u>= 8.73 half lives</u></em>

<em>Which is approximately equal to 9 half lives.</em>

  • Therefore, if the age of an object older than 50,000 years cannot be determined by radiocarbon dating, then <em><u>Carbon-14 levels in a sample are undetectable after approximately 9 half lives</u></em>.

How many electrons make up a charge of - 30.0 μc?
Ymorist [56]

Each electron has a charge of

q=-1.6 \cdot 10^{-19}C

In this problem, the total charge is

Q=-30.0 \mu C=-30.0 \cdot 10^{-6} C

Therefore, the number of electrons contained in this total charge will be given by the total charge divided by the charge of a single electron:

N=\frac{Q}{q}=\frac{-30.0 \cdot 10^{-6} C}{-1.6 \cdot 10^{-19} C}=1.88 \cdot 10^{14}

In the standing waves experiment, the string has a mass of 31.2 g and a length of 0.7 m. The string is connected to a mechanical
mestny [16]

Answer:

linear density of the string = 4.46 × 10⁻⁴ kg/m

Explanation:

given,

mass of the string = 31.2 g

length of string = 0.7 m

linear density of the string = \dfrac{mass\ of\ string}{length}

linear density of the string = \dfrac{31.2\times 10^{-3}\ kg}{0.7\ m}

linear density of the string = 44.57 × 10⁻³ kg/m

linear density of the string = 4.46 × 10⁻⁴ kg/m

One of the longer sides of a kite is 39 feet. one of the shorter sides is 25 feet. half the length of the shorter diagonal is 15
pychu [463]
The area of a triangle is found by multiplying the height of the triangle by the length of the base and dividing them both by 2. The length of the shorter side in the equation is useless information, so just multiply 39 by 25 and divide that by 2. A=487.5 sq ft. Also, that's a pretty big kite.
