The asker of the second question needs a tutorial in radiometric dating. There is little likelihood that the daughter isotope has the same atomic weight as the parent isotope. To measure the mass isotopes doesn't tell us how many atoms of each exist. To get around that let's pretend — which will likely serve the purpose ineptly intended — that the values give an the particle ratio, 125:875.
<span>The original parent isotope count was 125 + 875 = 1000. The remaining parent isotope is 125/1000 or 1/8. 1/8 = (1/2)^h, where h is the number of half-lives. </span>
<span>h = log (1/8) ÷ log(1/2) = 3 </span>
<span>And 3 half-lives • 150,000 years/half-life = 450,000 years.</span>
Answer:
A) 15.0 years
Explanation:
Due to the distance to the star system is in light-year units, we can compute the time by using:
then, Rob will take to complete the trip about 15 light-years.
hope this helps!!
Autonomic, but I don’t know why! Research this if you can.
The scientist is likely to be studying kinematics.
Kinematics is the branch of science, specifically physics, which is concerned with the motion of objects without reference to the forces that induce this motion. An example of kinematics is studying the change in velocity of an object over time or the distance covered by an object in a specified amount of time.
Displacement is the area under the velocity/time graph. So for example this object's displacement in the first 3 seconds is (1/2)(3sec)(12.5 m/s)= 18.75m. (and then it starts backing up, displacement decreasing, after 3sec when velocity is negative).
But This object is never speeding up. Its velocity is smoothly decreasing at (25/6) m/s^2 (the slope of the graph). So the answer to the question is actually zero.
