Answer:
0.14 seconds
Explanation:
The speed of light in vacuum is approximately 3.0*10^8. The distance that would be covered by the object would be equivalent to the circumference of the cross-section of the earth on the equator.
Circumference = 2*6400000 =4.02*10^7
Time = distance/speed = 4.2*10^7 / 3.0*10^8 =0.14s
Answer:
A) K / K₀ = 4 b) v / v₀ = 4
Explanation:
A) For this exercise we can use the conservation of mechanical energy
in the problem it indicates that the displacement was doubled (x = 2xo)
starting point. At the position of maximum displacement
Em₀ = Ke = ½ k (2x₀)²
final point. In the equilibrium position
= K = ½ m v²
Em₀ = Em_{f}
½ k 4 x₀² = K
(½ K x₀²) = K₀
K = 4 K₀
K / K₀ = 4
B) the speed value
½ k 4 x₀² = ½ m v²
v = 4 (k / m) x₀
if we call
v₀ = k / m x₀
v = 4 v₀
v / v₀ = 4
Via the half-life equation:
Where the time elapse is 11,460 year and the half-life is 5,730 years.
Therefore after 11,460 years the amount of carbon-14 is one fourth (1/4) of the original amount.
