Answer:

Archaeology

Explanation:

Radioisotopes are radioactive atoms of an element in which their atoms contain excess energy making them unstable. When broken down they become more stable releasing radiations.

Carbon 14 is a radioactive isotope that is used in archaeology to study and estimate the lifespan and age of organic materials such as wood, leather. Carbon 14 can be used to estimate the ages of materials up to 50000 to 60000 years.

A mountain-climber friend with a mass of 74 kg ponders the idea of attaching a helium-filled balloon to himself to effectively r

bazaltina [42]

Answer:

$V=16.65 m^3$

Explanation:

The volume of the balloon can be find compared the force in each cases so:

reduce 25% from 74kg

$R=\frac{25}{100}*74kg=18.5kg$

So the net force uproad on the balloon is

$F_b=18.5kg*g$

Now the density of the both gases air and helium are different however the volume is the same change offcorss the mass so:

$P_h=\frac{m}{V}=0.179 kg/m^3$

$P_A=1.29 kg/m^3$

$F_b=F_A-F_H$

$F_b=m_a*g-m_h*g$

$m=P/V$

$18.5kg*g=(1.29kg/m^3-0.179kg/m^3*)V*g$

$V=\frac{18.5kg}{(1.29-0.179)kg/m^3}$

$V=16.65 m^3$

The value of 1.0004 to the power 1 by 2 using Binomial approximation is

IgorLugansk [536]

Given:

The given value is $(1.0004)^{\frac{1}{2}}$ .

To find:

The value of the given expression by using the Binomial approximation.

Explanation:

We have,

$(1.0004)^{\frac{1}{2}}$

It can be written as:

$(1.0004)^{\frac{1}{2}}=(1+0.0004)^{\frac{1}{2}}$

$(1.0004)^{\frac{1}{2}}=1+\dfrac{1}{2}\times 0.0004$ $[\because (1+x)^n=1+nx]$

$(1.0004)^{\frac{1}{2}}=1+0.0002$

$(1.0004)^{\frac{1}{2}}=1.0002$

Therefore, the approximate value of the given expression is 1.0002.
