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.

The electric potential difference between the ground and a cloud in a particular thunderstorm is 2.5 × 109 V. What is the magnit

muminat

Answer:

U = - 4 x $10^{-10}$

Explanation:

ΔV = potential difference = $2.5 * 10^9$ Volts

q = charge on electron = $-1.6 * 10^{-19}$ C

electric potential energy is given as

U = q ΔV = ( $-1.6 * 10^{-19}$ ) ( $2.5 * 10^9$ )

= - 4 x $10^{-10}$

A circuit has two 4Ω resistors in series with each other. What is the total resistance?

Paha777 [63]

Answer: 8Ω

Explanation:

Since there are two resistors of 4Ω

connected in series, the total resistance (Rtotal) of the circuit is the sum of each resistance.

i.e Rtotal = R1 + R2

R1 = 4Ω

R2 = 4Ω

Rtotal = ?

Rtotal = 4Ω + 4Ω

Rtotal = 8Ω

Thus, the total resistance of the circuit is 8Ω
