Explanation:

Carbon-14 is normally used to date living organisms (all living things we know today contain mostly carbon). It can be used for samples up to about 60000 years old. Carbon-12 is the non-radioactive form that we encounter daily. Relative dating determines dates relative to each other, such as ordering of period or events.

Uranium 235 dating can determine date samples a million years old and up, so is more suited for rocks.

Identify the vibrating media in three different types of musical instruments

Artist 52 [7]

Answer:

There are three basic categories of musical instruments: percussion, wind, and stringed instruments. Most musical instruments use resonance to amplify sound waves and make sounds louder. In a musical instrument, the whole instrument and the air inside it may vibrate when the head of the drum is struck.

A frog is at the bottom of a 17-foot well. Each time the frog leaps, it moves up 3 feet. If the frog has not reached the top of

docker41 [41]

Answer:

The frog takes 8 jumps to reach top of well

Explanation:

Given data

Frog at bottom=17 foot

Each time frog leaps 3 feet

Frog has not reached the top of the well, then the frog slides back 1 foot

To Find

Total number of leaps the frog needed to escape from well

Solution

in 1 jump distance jumped=3+(-1)

=2 feet

=2×1 feet

The "-1" is because the frog goes back

Now After 2 jumps the distance jumped as:

Distance Jumped=2+2

Distance Jumped=2*2

=4 feet

Similarly after 7 jumps

Distance Jumped=2+2+......+2

Distance Jumped=2*7

=14 feet

Now after 8th jump the frog climbs but doesnot slide back as it is reached to the top of well.

Distance Jumped=(Distance Jumped after 7 jumps)+3

=14+3

=17 feet

The frog takes 8 jumps to reach top of well

Calculate the binding energy per nucleon of the helium nucleus 52he. express your answer in millions of electron volts to four s

Vitek1552 [10]

The main formula is given by Eb/nucleon = Eb/ mass of nucleid
as for <span>52He, the mass is 5
so by applying Einstein's formula Eb=DmC², Eb=</span><span>binding energy
</span><span>52He-----------> 2 x 11p + 3 x10n is the equation bilan
</span>so Dm=2 mp + (5-2)mn-mnucleus, mp=mass of proton=1.67 10^-27 kg
mn=mass of neutron=<span>1.67 10^-27 kg
  </span><span>m nucleus= 5
Dm= 2x</span>1.67 10^-27 kg+ 3x<span>1.67 10^-27 kg-5= - 4.9 J
Eb= </span> - <span>4.9 J x c²= -4.9 x 9 .10^16= - 45 10^16 J
so the answer is Eb /nucleon = Eb/5= -9.10^16 J, but 1eV=1.6 . 10^-19 J
so </span><span>-9.10^16 J/ 1.6 10^-19=  -5.625 10^35 eV

the final answer is </span><span>Eb /nucleon </span><span>=  -5.625 x10^35 eV</span>

4. show your understanding of electric and magnetic forces<br> below.

Vitek1552 [10]

Answer:

Explanation:

Electric forces exist among stationary electric charges; both electric and magnetic forces exist among moving electric charges. ... The magnetic force between two moving charges may be described as the effect exerted upon either charge by a magnetic field created by the other.

Which of the following cars have the most kinetic energy

faltersainse [42]

<h2>Hey There!</h2><h2>_____________________________________</h2><h2>Answer:</h2>

$\huge\boxed{OptionA}$

mass = 4 kg

velocity = 5 m/s^2

<h3 /><h3>Orange truck:</h3>

Mass= 2kg

Velocity = 7m/s^2

mass = 6 kg

velocity = 4m/s^2

<h3 /><h3>Green Car:</h3>

Mass = 8 kg

Velocity = 3 m/s^2

<h2>_____________________________________</h2><h2>SOLUTION:</h2>

By the equation of kinetic energy,

K.E = $\frac{1}{2} mv^2$

Where,

K.E is kinetic energy

m is mass

v is velocity

<h2>_____________________________________</h2><h3>Kinetic energy of Blue car:</h3>

Directly substitute the variables in the equation,

K.E = $\frac{1}{2}x4x5^2$

Simplify the equation,

K.E = 50 J

<h2>_____________________________________</h2><h3>Kinetic Energy of Silver Car:</h3>

Directly substitude the variable in the equation,

K.E = $\frac{1}{2}x6x4^2$

Simplify the equation,

K.E = 48J

<h2>_____________________________________</h2><h3>Kinetic Energy of Green Car:</h3><h3 />

Substitute the variables in the equation,

K.E = $\frac{1}{2}x8x3^2$

Simplify the Equation,

K.E = 36J

<h2>_____________________________________</h2><h3>Kinetic Energy of Orange Truck:</h3><h3 />

Substitute the variable,

K.E = $\frac{1}{2}x 2x7^2$

Simplify the equation,

K.E = 49J

As you can see that the highest value of kinetic energy is of Blue SUV thus it will be out answer.
