DIA [1.3K]3 years ago

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.

What is the potential difference when the current in a circuit is 5mA and resistance is 30 Ohms
Mashcka [7]

<h2>\bf{ \underline{Given:- }}</h2>

\sf• \: The \:  current \:  in \:  a \:  circuit \:  is  \: 5 \: amps.  \: and  \: resistance \:  is \:  30 \:  Ohms.

The trough of the sine curve used to represent a sound wave corresponds to
iren [92.7K]

Answer:

The correct answer is a rarefaction.

Explanation:

Sound waves are longitudinal waves that propagate in a medium, such as air. As the vibration continues, a series of successive condensations and rarefactions form and propagate from it. The pattern created in the air is something like a sinusoidal curve to represent a sound wave.

There are peaks in the sine wave at the points where the sound wave has condensations and valleys where it has rarefactions.

Have a nice day!

Two square air-filled parallel plates that are initially uncharged are separated by 1.2 mm, and each of them has an area of 190
julia-pushkina [17]

Answer:

5.5\cdot 10^{-11} C

Explanation:

The capacitance of the parallel-plate capacitor is given by:

C=\epsilon_0 \frac{A}{d}

where

\epsilon_0 = 8.85\cdot 10^{-12} F/m is the vacuum permittivity

A=190 mm^2 = 190 \cdot 10^{-6} m^2 is the area of the plates

d=1.2 mm = 0.0012 m is the separation between the plates

Substituting,

C=(8.85\cdot 10^{-12}) \frac{190 \cdot 10^{-6}}{0.0012}=1.4\cdot 10^{-12}F

The energy stored in the capacitor is given by

U=\frac{Q^2}{2C}

Since we know the energy

U=1.1 nJ = 1.1 \cdot 10^{-9} J

we can re-arrange the formula to find the charge, Q:

Q=\sqrt{2UC}=\sqrt{2(1.1\cdot 10^{-9} J)(1.4\cdot 10^{-12}F )}=5.5\cdot 10^{-11} C

2. A 50 kg diver is standing on the edge of a 15 m high cliff. What is his potential energy?
Lera25 [3.4K]

Answer:

3675 J

Explanation:

Gravitational Potential Energy = \frac{1}{2} × mass × g × height

( g is the gravitation field strength )

Mass = 50 kg

G = 9.8 N/kg ( this is always the same )

Height = 15 m

Gravitational Potential Energy = \frac{1}{2} × 50 ×9.8 × 15

= 3675 J

A 50.0 kg woman climbs a flight of stairs 6.00 m high in 15.0 s. How much power does she use.
WITCHER [35]

Her weight = (mass) · (gravity) = (50kg) · (9.8 m/s²)

Work = (weight) · (height) = (50kg) · (9.8 m/s²) · (6 m)

Power = (work) / (time) = (50kg) · (9.8 m/s²) · (6 m) / (15 s)

Power = (50 · 9.8 · 6 / 15) · (kg · m² / s³)

Power = 196 (kg · m / s²) · (m) / s

Power = 196 Newton-meter/second

<em>Power = 196 watts</em>
