Answer:

The average yearly rate of change of carbon-14 during the first 5000 years = 0.0004538 grams per year

Explanation:

Given that the mass of the carbon 14 at the start = 5 gram

At the end of 5,000 years we will have;

A = A_0 \times e^{-\lambda \times t}

Where

A = The amount of carbon 14 left

A₀ = The starting amount of carbon 14

e = Constant = 2.71828

T_{1/2} = The half life

\lambda = 0.693/T_{1/2}

t = The time elapsed = 5000 years

λ = 0.693/T_{1/2} = 0.693/5730 = 0.0001209424

Therefore;

A = 5 × e^(-0.0001209424×5000) = 2.7312 grams

Therefore, the amount of carbon 14 decayed in the 5000 years is the difference in mass between the starting amount and the amount left

The amount of carbon 14 decayed = 5 - 2.7312 = 2.2688 grams

The average yearly rate of change of carbon-14 during the first 5000 years  is therefore;

2.2688 grams/(5000 years) = 0.0004538 grams per year

The average yearly rate of change of carbon-14 during the first 5000 years = 0.0004538 grams per year.

At constant temperature a bicycle tire pump contains 252mL of air at 995kPa pressure. The plunger of the pump is pushed down unt
Novay_Z [31]

Answer:

The new pressure of the pump is 26.05 atm or 2639.4 kPa

Explanation:

Step 1: Data given

Volume of the bicycle tire pump = 252 mL = 0.252 L

Pressure of air = 995 kPa = 9.81989 atm

The volume of the pump is reduced to 95.0 mL = 0.095 L

Step 2: Calculate the new pressure

V1*P1 = V2*P2

⇒with V1 = the initial volume of the bicycle tire pump = 0.252 L

⇒with P1 = the initial pressure of the pump = 9.81989 atm = 995 kPa

⇒with V2 = the reduced volume of the pump = 0.095 L

⇒with P2 = the new pressure = TO BE DETERMINED

0.252 L * 9.81989 atm = 0.095 L * P2

P2 = 26.05 atm

The new pressure is 26.05 atm

OR

0.252 L * 995 = 0.095 L * P2

P2 = 2639.4 kPa

The new pressure of the pump is 26.05 atm or 2639.4 kPa
