Each time you dumped the pennies, one half-life passed; it has been shown that the half-life for this radioactive isotope is 20

years
In the year 2000, an archaeology team unearths pottery and is using this isotope for radiometric dating to place the age of the pottery
It is shown that 95% of the nuclei have decayed
Approximately how long ago was the pottery made?

The exponential decay function is shown as:

At = Ao*2^(-t/h)

Where:

At = Final amount
Ao = original amount
t = time
h = years for half-life to occur

We are not given the original and final amounts, but we are told that after the certain amount of time had passed, only 5% had remained. So if we were to isolate At and Ao in one side of the equation, such that: At/Ao = 0.05, we can solve for the missing variable, which is t.

Substituting:

<span>At/Ao = 2^(-t/h)
</span>0.05 = <span>2^(-t/20)
t = 86.44 years

Therefore, the pottery was made approximately 86.44 years ago.</span>

What is the magnitude and direction of the electric field atradiaConsider a coaxial conducting cable consisting of a conductingr
Alexxx [7]

Answer:

 E = 9.4 10⁶ N / C ,     The field goes from the inner cylinder to the outside

Explanation:

The best way to work this problem is with Gauss's law

             Ф = E. dA = qint / ε₀

 

We must define a Gaussian surface, which takes advantage of the symmetry of the problem. We select a cylinder with the faces perpendicular to the coaxial.

The flow on the faces is zero, since the field goes in the radial direction of the cylinders.

The area of ​​the cylinder is the length of the circle along the length of the cable

         dA = 2π dr L

          A = 2π r L

They indicate that the distance at which we must calculate the field is

         r = 5 R₁

         r = 5 1.3

         r = 6.5 mm

The radius of the outer shell is

         r₂ = 10 R₁

         r₂ = 10 1.3

         r₂ = 13 mm

         r₂ > r

When comparing these two values ​​we see that the field must be calculated between the two housings.

Gauss's law states that the charge is on the outside of the Gaussian surface does not contribute to the field, the charged on the inside of the surface is

         λ = q / L

         Qint = λ L

Let's replace

      E 2π r L = λ L /ε₀

       E = 1 / 2piε₀  λ / r

Let's calculate

         E = 1 / 2pi 8.85 10⁻¹²  3.4 10-12 / 6.5 10-3

         E = 9.4 10⁶ N / C

The field goes from the inner cylinder to the outside

Three people pull simultaneously on a stubborn donkey. Jack pulls directly ahead of the donkey with a force of 63.9 N63.9 N , Ji
Greeley [361]

Answer:

a) F = (137.4 i ^ + 185 j ^) N

b)    F = 230.2 N  ,  θ = 53.5º

Explanation:

In this exercise we ask to find the net force, for which we will define a coordinate system fix the donkey and use trigonometry to decompose the forces

Jack       F₁ₓ = 63.9 N

Jill          F₂ = 79.1 N with direction 45º to the left

              cos (180 -45) = F₂ₓ / F₂

              sin 135 = F_{2y} / F₂

              F₂ₓ = F₂ cos 135

              F_{2y} = F₂ sin 135

              F₂ₓ = 79.1 cos 135 = -55.9 N

              F_{2y} = 79.1 sin 135 = 55.9 N

Jane      F₃ = 183 N direction 45th to the right

             cos 45 = F₃ₓ / F3

             sin 45 = F_{3y} / F3

             F₃ₓ = F₃ cos 45 = 183 cos 45

             F_{₃y} = F₃ sin 45 = 183 sin 45

             F₃ₓ = 129.4 N

             F_{3y} = 129.4 N

we add each component of the force

       Fₓ = F₁ₓ + F₂ₓ + F₃ₓ

       Fₓ = 63.9 + (-55.9) + 129.4

       Fₓ = 137.4 N

       F_{y} = F_{2y} + F_{3y}

       F_{2y} = 55.9 + 129.4

       F_{2y} = 185.3 N

we can give the result of the forms

 

a) F = (137.4 i ^ + 185 j ^) N

b) in the form of module and angle

         F = RA (Fₓ² + F_{y}²)

         F = Ra (137² + 185²)

         F = 230.2 N

         tan θ = F_{y} / Fₓ

         θ = tan⁻¹ F_{y} / Fₓ

        θ = tan⁻¹ (185/137)

        θ = 53.5º

A bus traveling at 25.2mi/h speeds up at a constant rate of 9.2x10^-3 m/s^2. What velocity does it reach 25min later?
Softa [21]

Answer: actually to solve this u must know what 3.2m/s2 is..do u know it ??...wel let me tell...3.2m/s2 means that in every second the speed of the body increases by 3.2m/s..so if it acts for 6.8 seconds..increase in speed will be 3.2*6.8   however note that this is the increase in speed.. have to change this in km/hr & add this to the initial speed(27km/hr) to get the answer....hope this has cleared ur doubts....
