Via the half-life equation:

$A_{final}=A_{initial}(\frac{1}{2})^{\frac{t}{h}}$

Where the time elapse is 11,460 year and the half-life is 5,730 years.

$A_{final}=A_{initial}(\frac{1}{2})^\frac{11460}{5730} \\\\A_{final}=A_{initial}\frac{1}{4} \\\\A_{final}=\frac{1}{4}A_{initial}$

Therefore after 11,460 years the amount of carbon-14 is one fourth (1/4) of the original amount.

See coulomb's law. Force is inversely proportional to the distance squared. So if you multiply r by 2, the force is multiplied by (½)² = ¼.

Jane, looking for tarzan, is running at top speed 5.3 m/s and grabs a vine hanging vertically from a tall tree in the jungle. ho

lutik1710 [3]

v₀ = initial speed as tarzan grabs the vine = 5.3 m/s

v = final speed as the tarzan reach the maximum height = 0 m/s

h = maximum height gained by the tarzan

m = mass of tarzan

using conservation of energy

initial kinetic energy = final kinetic energy + potential energy

(0.5) m v²₀ = (0.5) m v² + m g h

(0.5) v²₀ = (0.5) v² + g h

(0.5) (5.3)² = (0.5) (0)² + (9.8) h

h = 1.43 m

Nezavi [6.7K]

This is the photoelectric effect, and it is best explained by the particle model of light.

<h3>What is the photoelectric effect?</h3>

The photoelectric effect refers to the emission of negatively charged particles and electromagnetic radiation that hits an object.

The photoelectric effect shows how electrons can be released from a given object when this material is absorbing electromagnetic radiation.

The photoelectric effect is a fundamental piece of evidence for understanding the nature of light particles.

On a bet, you try to remove water from a glass by blowing across the top of a vertical straw immersed in the water. What is the

MArishka [77]

Answer:

v₂ = 0.56 m / s

Explanation:

This exercise can be done using Bernoulli's equation

P₁ + ½ ρ v₁² + ρ g y₁ = P₂ + ½ ρ v₂² + ρ g y₂

Where points 1 and 2 are on the surface of the glass and the top of the straw

The pressure at the two points is the same because they are open to the atmosphere, if we assume that the surface of the vessel is much sea that the area of the straw the velocity of the surface of the vessel is almost zero v₁ = 0

The difference in height between the level of the glass and the straw is constant and equal to 1.6 cm = 1.6 10⁻² m

We substitute in the equation

$P_{atm}$ + ρ g y₁ = $P_{atm}$ + ½ ρ v₂² + ρ g y₂

½ v₂² = g (y₂-y₁)

v₂ = √ 2 g (y₂-y₁)

Let's calculate

v₂ = √ (2 9.8 1.6 10⁻²)

v₂ = 0.56 m / s

Titus drives his jetski a distance of 1000 meters in 7.045 seconds. How fast was he moving in meters per second? How fast was he

Ksenya-84 [330]

Answer:

a) v = 141.9 m/s

b) v = 317.4 miles/h

Explanation:

a) How fast was he moving in meters per second?

$v = \frac{d}{t} = \frac{1000 m}{7.045 s} = 141.9 m/s$

Hence, the jet ski is moving at 141.9 meters per second.

b) How fast was he moving in miles per hour?

$v = \frac{d}{t} = \frac{1000 m}{7.045 s} = 141.9 m/s*\frac{3600 s}{1 h}*\frac{1 mile}{1609.34 m} = 317.4 miles/h$

Therefore, the jet ski is moving at 317.4 miles per hour.

I hope it helps you!
