The rubidium isotope 87Rb is a β emitter that has a half-life of 4.9 ✕ 1010 y that decays into 87Sr. It is used to determine the

age of rocks and fossils. Rocks containing the fossils of early animal have a ratio of 87Sr to 87Rb of 0.0040. Assuming that there was no 87Sr present when the rocks were formed, calculate the age of the fossils.

Answer:

t = 39.04 1010 year

Explanation:

This is a nuclear disintegration exercise that is governed by the equation.

     N = N0 e (-lam t)

The average life time is related to nuclear activity

      T ½ = ln 2 / lam

Let's use these two equations for exercise, let's start by finding nuclear activity

     Lam = ln 2 / T ½

     Lam = ln 2 / 4.9 10 10

    Lam = 0.14146 10-10 y-1

They tell us that the relationship atoms

      No / N = 0.0040

Let's look

       No / N = 1/0040

       N/No = 250                                                                                                                                                                                

Let's calculate the time

       (-lam t) = ln (N / No)

,        t = - 1 / lam ln (n / No)

        t = - 1 / 0.14146 10-10 ln (250)

        t = 39.04 1010 year

What is momentum equal to
Margarita [4]

Answer:

mass x velocity

Explanation:

The momentum of an object is the product of its mass and velocity;

   Momentum  = mass x velocity

Mass is the quantity of matter in a body

Velocity is the rate of change of displacement with time.

Also, momentum is used to quantify the particular amount of motion a body can give.

EXAMPLE
yKpoI14uk [10]

Answer:

Explanation:

a ) The volume of blood flowing per second throughout the vessel is constant .

a₁ v₁ = a₂ v₂

a₁ and a₂ are cross sectional area at two places of vessel and v₁ and v₂ are velocity of blood at these places .

2A x v₁ = A x .40

v₁ = .20 m /s

b )

Let normal pressure be P₁ when cross sectional area is 2A and at cross sectional area A , pressure is P₂

Applying Bernoulli's theorem

P₁ + 1/2 ρv₁² = P₂ + 1/2 ρv₂²

P₁ - P₂ = 1/2  ρ(v₂² - v₁² )

= .5 x 1060 ( .4² - .2² )

= 63.6 Pa .

A mass of 100kg is acted on by a 400N force acting vertically upward and a 600N force acting at a 45 degrees angle.Calculate the
slava [35]

Answer:

A 1.56    see below

Explanation:

I will assume the 45 degree force is upward

vertical component =   600 sin 45 = 424.26 N

 added to the other vertical force will total 824.26 N

    F = ma

   824.26 = 100 * a    shows a = 8.24 m/s upward

Now we have to assume the mass is ALSO acted on by gravity and this value is given as  9.8  ( so downward is positive)

9.81 -   8.24      =  1.56 m/s^2
