5 0

Answer:

1/4

Explanation:

1/2 of the carbon is left after 5730 years

1/2 of 1/2 is left after another 5730 years

3/4 is decayed

you are left with 1/4

An electron moving parallel to a uniform electric field increases its speed from 2.0 × 10^7 m/s to 4.0 × 10^7 m/s over a distanc
julia-pushkina [17]

Answer:

E = 2.84 * 10^5 N/C

Explanation:

The speed increased from 2.0 * 10^7 m/s to 4.0 * 10^7 m/s over a 1.2 cm distance.

Let us find the acceleration:

v^2 = u^2 + 2as

(4.0 * 10^7)^2 = (2.0 * 10^7)^2 + 2 * a * 0.012\\\\(4.0 * 10^7)^2 - (2.0 * 10^7)^2 = 0.024a\\\\1.2 * 10^{15}= 0.024a\\\\a = 1.2 * 10^{15} / 0.024\\\\a = 5 * 10^{16} m/s^2

Electric force is given as the product of charge and electric field strength:

F = qE

where q = electric charge

E = Electric field strength

Force is generally given as:

F = ma

where m = mass

a = acceleration

Equating both:

ma = qE

E = ma / q

For an electron:

m = 9.11 × 10^{-31} kg

q = 1.602 × 10^{-19} C

Therefore, the electric field strength of the electron is:

E = \frac{9.11 * 10^{-31} * 5 * 10^{16}}{1.602 * 10^{-19}} \\\\E = 2.84 * 10^5 N/C

The force of Earth's gravity pulls down on a stone after someone tosses it off a cliff. What is the "equal and opposite force" d
Lapatulllka [165]

The equal and opposite force is the force of the stone's gravity pulling up on thy Earth.

<u>Explanation</u>:

                                      F_{AB} = - F_{BA}

  • When someone tosses a stone off a cliff, the force of gravity of Earth pulls down and the force of the stone's gravity pulls up on the Earth due to the equal and opposite reaction exerted between the Earth and the stone.
  • In Newton's third law, two important features are present. One is the force exerted on two bodies will have the same magnitude but opposite direction. The other feature is force is acting on two different objects.
  • This exerted force is equal in magnitude but opposite in direction whereas the gravity exerts a downward force on a stone and upward force on an Earth which is opposite in direction.

A star is measured to be 18.9 light years from earth. what is the correct answer in the calculation shown below? (consider both
Lapatulllka [165]
A light year is a measurement of distance that is used in the space. It is the distance that a light traveled for 1 year on Earth or 365 days on Earth at a speed of 3 x 10^8 meters per second. To convert the units from light year to the SI unit meters, we simply make use of the definition of the unit. We do as follows:

18.9 light years ( 365 days / 1 light year ) ( 24 h / 1 day ) ( 3600 s / 1h ) ( 3 x 10^8 m/s) = 1.79 x 10^17 meters

Therefore, 18.9 light years is equal to 1.79 x 10^17 meters.
