A wooden artifact from a Chinese temple has a 14C activity of 41.0 counts per minute as compared with an activity of 58.2 counts

per minute for a standard of zero age. You may want to reference (Pages 913 - 916) Section 21.4 while completing this problem. Part A From the half-life for 14C decay, 5715 yr, determine the age of the artifact. Express your answer using two significant figures. t

Answer:

Explanation:

The relation between activity and number of radioactive atom in the sample is as follows

dN / dt = λ N where λ is disintegration constant and N is number of radioactive atoms

For the beginning period

dN₀ / dt = λ N₀

58.2 = λ N₀

similarly

41 = λ N

dividing

58.2 / 41 = N₀ / N

N = N₀ x .70446

formula of radioactive decay

N=N_0e^{-\lambda t }

.70446 =e^{-\lambda t }

- λ t = ln .70446 =   - .35

t = .35 / λ

λ = .693 / half life

= .693 / 5715

= .00012126

t = .35 / .00012126

= 2886.36

= 2900 years ( rounding it in two significant figures )

If a ball leaves the ground with a vertical velocity of 5.46 m/s, how long does it take
kifflom [539]

Answer:

0.557 s

Explanation:

Given:

v₀ = 5.46 m/s

v = 0 m/s

a = -9.8 m/s²

Find: t

v = at + v₀

0 m/s = (-9.8 m/s²) t + 5.46 m/s

t = 0.557 s

The free-body diagram of a crate is shown. A free body diagram with 4 force vectors. The first vector is pointing downward, labe
satela [25.4K]

The net force acting on the crate is determined as 176 N to the left.

<h3>Net force acting on the crate</h3>

The net force acting on the crate is calculated as follows;

∑F = F1 + F2 + F3 + F4

F(net) = -440y + 176x + 440y - 352x

F(net) = -176 x

The resultant force is pointing in negative x direction.

Thus, the net force acting on the crate is determined as 176 N to the left.

Letter C on the map labels which feature of the Middle East?
likoan [24]

Honest, the map is so tiny, and so fuzzy when I blow it up, I really can't see anything on it clearly.  But I think maybe I do see a letter ' C ' in the eastern Mediterranean, with a curved line over to the southern Gaza strip, where it meets Sinai.  So I'll say it's the Gaza Strip.
