Answer:

B) the decay rates of radioactive uranium and lead

Explanation:

As we know that when she found the substance it must have some fixed ratio of radioactive uranium and Lead in that substance.

Here since Uranium is radioactive substance so it will continuously convert into Lead and this ratio will change with time

So here we can say that the ratio of radioactive uranium and lead will depend on its decay rate

now to find the age of the substance we can find the present ratio of lead and uranium in that substance and then compare it with freshly prepared substance.

so by the formula

$t = \frac{1}{\lambda}ln(\frac{N_0}{N})$

we can find the age of the sample

Answer:

B) the decay rates of radioactive uranium and lead

Explanation:

The radioactive decay is modeled using an exponential function with an essential parameter, namely the decay rate. The two rates (for urianium and lead) allow her to determine the number of years that passed since the time the zirconium was formed.

Pierre cycles at 4 miles per hour and travels a distance of 13 miles. How long

amm1812

Answer:

His journey took him 3 hours 15 minutes.

Explanation: 4 miles every hour. So 1 hr is equal to 4 miles, 2 hrs is equal to 8 miles, 3 hrs is equal to 12 miles. Now he just has 1 miles left, and since it takes him a hour to cycle 4 miles, 60 divided by 4 is 15. Therefore, 1 mile is equal to 15 minutes.

After coming down a slope, a 60-kg skier is coasting northward on a level, snowy surface at a constant 15 m>s. Her 5.0-kg cat

Vinil7 [7]

To solve this exercise, it is necessary to apply the concepts of conservation of the moment especially in objects that experience an inelastic colposition.

They are expressed as,

$m_1v_1+m_2v_2 = (m_1+m_2)v_f$

Where,

$m_1$ = mass of the skier

$m_2$ = mass of the cat

$v_1$ = initial velocity of skier

$v_2$ = initial velocity of cat

$v_f$ = final velocity of both

Re-arrange to find V_f we have,

$V_f = \frac{m_1v_1+m_2v_2}{(m_1+m_2)}$

$V_f = \frac{(60)(15)+(5)(-3.8)}{(60+5)}$

$V_f = 13.55m/s$

Once the final velocity is found it is possible to calculate the change in kinetic energy, so

$\Delta KE = KE_i-KE_f$

$\Delta KE = \frac{1}{2}(m_1v_1^2+m_2v^2_2)-\frac{1}{2}(m_1+m_2)v_f^2$

$\Delta KE = \frac{1}{2}((60)(15)^2+(5)(-3.8)^2)-\frac{1}{2}(60+5)(13.55)^2$

$\Delta KE = 819.1J$

Therefore the amount of kinetic energy converted in to internal energy is 819J

Sam's job at the amusement park is to slow down and bring to a stop the boats in the log ride. If a boat and its riders have a m

shutvik [7]

Answer:

Sam will do 1152 J of work to stop the boat

Explanation:

Work: This is defined as the product of force and distance, the S.I unit of work is Joules. At any point in science, during calculation Energy and worked can be interchange because they have the same unit.

E = W = 1/2mv²................ Equation 1

Where E = energy, W = work, m = mass, v = velocity.

Given: m = 900 kg, v = 1.6 m/s

Substituting these values into equation 1

W = 1/2(900)(1.6)²

W = 450×2.56

W = 1152 J.

Therefore Sam will do 1152 J of work to stop the boat

A block is attached to a horizontal spring. On top of this block rests another block. The two-block system slides back and forth

Minchanka [31]

Answer:

Angular frequency will increase

No change in the amplitude

Explanation:

At extreme end of the SHM the energy of the SHM is given by

$E = \frac{1}{2} (m_1 + m_2)\omega^2 A^2$

here we know that

$\omega^2 = \frac{k}{m_1 + m_2}$

now at the extreme end when one of the mass is removed from it

then in that case the angular frequency will change

$\omega'^2 = \frac{k}{m_1}$

So angular frequency will increase

but the position of extreme end will not change as it is given here that the top block is removed without disturbing the lower block

so here no change in the amplitude
