Answer:

8. 2.75·10^-4 s^-1

9. No, too much of the carbon-14 would have decayed for radiation to be detected.

Explanation:

8. The half-life of 42 minutes is 2520 seconds, so you have ...

1/2 = e^(-λt) = e^(-(2520 s)λ)

ln(1/2) = -(2520 s)λ

-ln(1/2)/(2520 s) = λ ≈ 2.75×10^-4 s^-1

___

9. Reference material on carbon-14 dating suggests the method is not useful for time periods greater than about 50,000 years. The half-life of C-14 is about 5730 years, so at 65 million years, about ...

6.5·10^7/5.73·10^3 ≈ 11344

half-lives will have passed. Whatever carbon 14 may have existed at the time will have decayed completely to nothing after that many half-lives.

An irregular object of mass 3 kg rotates about an axis, about which it has a radius of gyration of 0.2 m, with an angular accele
Citrus2011 [14]

Answer:

The magnitude of the applied torque is 6.0\times10^{-2}\ N-m

(e) is correct option.

Explanation:

Given that,

Mass of object = 3 kg

Radius of gyration = 0.2 m

Angular acceleration = 0.5 rad/s²

We need to calculate the applied torque

Using formula of torque

\tau=I\times\alpha

Here, I = mk²

\tau=mk^2\times\alpha

Put the value into the formula

\tau=3\times(0.2)^2\times0.5

\tau=0.06\ N-m

\tau=6.0\times10^{-2}\ N-m

Hence, The magnitude of the applied torque is 6.0\times10^{-2}\ N-m

Squids and octopuses propel themselves by expelling water. They do this by keeping water in a cavity and then suddenly contracti
liq [111]

Answer:

The speed of water must be expelled at 6.06 m/s

Explanation:

Neglecting any drag effects of the surrounding water we can assume the linear momentum in this case is conserves, that is, the total initial momentum of the octopus and the water kept in it cavity should be equal to the total final linear momentum. That's known as conservation of momentum, mathematically expressed as:

p_f=p_i

with Pi the total initial momentum and Pf the final total momentum. The total momentum is the sum of the momentums of the individual objects, in our case the octopus and the mass of water that will be expelled:

p_{of}+p_{wf}=p_{oi}+p_{wi}

with Po the momentum of the octopus and Pw the momentum of expelled water. Linear momentum is defined as mass times velocity:

m_o*v_{of}+m_w*v_{wf}=m_o*v_{oi}+m_w*v_{wi}

Note that initially the octopus has the water in its cavity and both are at rest before it sees the predator so v_{oi}=v_{wi} = 0\frac{m}{s}:

m_o*v_{of}+m_w*v_{wf}=0

We should find the final velocity of water if the final velocity of the octopus is 2.70 m/s, solving for v_{wf}:

v_{wf}=-\frac{m_o*v_{of}}{m_w}=-\frac{(6.00-1.85)*(2.70)}{1.85}

v_{wf}=-6.06\frac{m}{s}

The minus sign indicates the velocity of the water is opposite the velocity of the octopus.

What is the wavelength of violet light that has a frequency of 7.5x10^14
Crank
Λ= V/f 
<span>but change it to represent the speed of light, c </span>
<span>λ= c/f </span>
<span>c = 3.00 x 10^8 m/s </span>
<span>Plug in your given info and solve for λ(wavelength) </span>
<span>λ= 3.00 x 10^8 m/s / 7.5 x 10^14 Hz
(3.00 x 10^8) / (7.5 x 10^14) = 300,000,000 / 750,000,000,000,000 = 0.0000004
Hope this helps :)
