Carbon 14 dating makes some assumptions that are not exactly true, but likely close enough for most purposes. 1 that the ratio of carbon 13 to carbon 14 in Earth's atmosphere has not changed over the last million years. 2 that living things give zero preference to carbon 13 over carbon 14.
3 Carbon 14 dating is often unreliable for rocks which have low carbon content, such as quartz, and some other assumptions.

Pressure is the force exerted by a substance on its container. Of the three phases of matter which one would exert the highest p
Luden [163]

Answer:

Gaseous phase exert more pressure on container.

Explanation:

Pressure:

It is the force exerted by the substance on its container.

Mathematical expression:

P = F/A

P = pressure

F = force

A = area

We know that there are phases of matter solid liquid and gas.

Gases don't have definite volume and shape and take the shape and volume of container in which it present.  Molecule of gases randomly move everywhere and occupy all available space.  The molecules of gas randomly move collide with each other and also the wall of container their kinetic energy also increased because of this collision and pressure is produced

While in case of liquid molecules are packed and they can not move freely thus did not exert pressure like gaseous molecules.

In case of solids molecules are tightly packed and form more compact structure. They can not move thus did not exert pressure to the wall of container.

Properties of gases:

Molecule of gases randomly move everywhere and occupy all available space.

Gases don't have definite volume and shape and take the shape and volume of container in which it present.

Their densities are very low as compared to the liquid and solids.

Gas molecules are at long distance from each other therefore by applying pressure gases can be compressed.

The very weak inter molecular forces are present between gas molecules.

Properties of Liquid:

Liquid have definite volume but don,t have definite shape.

Their densities are high as compared to the gases but low as compared to the solids.

In liquid, molecules are close to each other and have greater inter molecular forces as compared to the gas molecules.

Properties of solids:

Solids have definite volume and shape.

In solids molecules are tightly pack and very close to each other.

Their melting and boiling point are every high.

The densities of solids are also very high as compared to the liquid and gas.

There are very strong inter molecular forces are present between solid molecules.

an ideal gas is at a pressure 1.00 x 10^5 N/m^2 and occupies a volume 11.00 m^3. If the gass is compressed to a volume of 1.00 m
bogdanovich [222]

Answer:

P_2=1.1x10^6Pa

Explanation:

Hello.

In this case, we can solve this problem by applying the Boyle's law which allows us to understand the pressure-volume behavior as a directly proportional relationship:

P_1V_1=P_2V_2

In such away, knowing the both the initial pressure and volume and the final volume, we can compute the final pressure as shown below:

P_2=\frac{P_1V_1}{V_2}

Consider that the given initial pressure is also equal to Pa:

P_2=\frac{1.00x10^5Pa*11.00m^3}{1.00m^3}\\ \\P_2=1.1x10^6Pa

Which stands for a pressure increase when volume decreases.

Regards.

The nonmetals helium, neon, and argon and the metals copper, silver, and gold are among only a few elements that are found in na
Fynjy0 [20]

Answer:

A pure element is a pure substance that has only one kind of atoms. If a substance is present in nature in elemental form, it means that the element is not very reactive as reactive elements exist in the form of their compounds with atoms of other elements. Element can be categorized as a metal or a non-metal based on some physical observable properties. Generally, metals are shiny lustrous solids and nonmetals are gases. Metals are good conductors of heat and electricity whereas nonmetals are not conductors.

Explanation:

Hope this helps:)

9. A box is pushed 1.5 m to the right in 5 s. What is the box’s average speed to the nearest hundredth of a m/s? *
poizon [28]

Answer:

s = 0.30 m/s

Explanation:

Given data:

Distance travel = 1.5 m

Time taken = 5 s

Average speed of box = ?

Solution:

s = d/t

s = speed

d = distance

t = time

by putting values,

s = 1.5 m/ 5 s

s = 0.30 m/s
