Which term describes energy stored inside the nucleus of an atom?

Carbon-14 is used to determine the time an organism was living. The amount of carbon-14 an organism has is constant with the atm

lutik1710 [3]

Answer:

The age of the organism is approximately 11460 years.

Explanation:

The amount of carbon-14 decays exponentially in time and is defined by the following equation:

$\frac{n(t)}{n_{o}} = e^{-\frac{t}{\tau} }$ (1)

Where:

$n_{o}$ - Initial amount of carbon-14.

$n(t)$ - Current amount of carbon-14.

$t$ - Time, measured in years.

$\tau$ - Time constant, measured in years.

Then, we clear the time within the formula:

$t = -\tau \cdot \ln \frac{n(t)}{n_{o}}$ (2)

In addition, time constant can be calculated by means of half-life of carbon-14 ( $t_{1/2}$ ), measured in years:

$\tau = \frac{t_{1/2}}{\ln 2}$

If we know that $\frac{n(t)}{n_{o}} = 0.25$ and $t_{1/2} = 5730\,yr$ , then the age of the organism is:

$\tau = \frac{5730\,yr}{\ln 2}$

$\tau \approx 8266.643\,yr$

$t = -(8266.643\,yr)\cdot \ln 0.25$

$t \approx 11460.001\,yr$

The age of the organism is approximately 11460 years.

How does the configuration of the electric field occur between a "parallel plate" setup in a lab?What is the effect of conductor

sleet_krkn [62]

Explanation:

The magnitude of the electric field between the plates is given by

E = -ΔV/d

minus sign indicates Potential decreases in the direction of electric field

where

ΔV is the potential difference between the plates

D is the distance between the plates.

The work done when carrying an electrical charge on an equipotential surface between one position to the other is zero W= q(V-V)=0 The electric field lines of force are always perpendicular to an equipotential surface. That conductor in an equipotential surface as direction E is at right angles to an eauipotential surface The intensity of the electric field along an equipotential surface is always zero. Equipotential surfaces never collide with each other as this would mean that at that point, there are two alternative values that are not true.

What is the velocity of a 30-kg box with a kinetic energy of 6,000 J? 64 m/s

Nikolay [14]

Answer: 20 m/s

Explanation: To solve this problem we have to consider the expression of the kinetic energy given by:

Ekinetic=(1/2)*(m*v^2)

then E=0.5*30Kg*(20 m/s)^2=15*400=6000J
