How old is a bone if it still has 50% of its carbon-14 content?

Physics
1 answer:
Degger [83]3 years ago
6 0

Answer:

5730 years

Explanation:

The half life of carbon-14 is 5730 years.  If 50% of the carbon-14 remains, then exactly 1 half life has passed.

The half-life equation is:

A = A₀ (½)^(t / T)

where A is the remaining amount,

A₀ is the initial amount,

t is time,

and T is the half life.

In this case, A = ½ A₀ and T = 5730.

½ A₀ = A₀ (½)^(t / 5730)

½ = (½)^(t / 5730)

1 = t / 5730

t = 5730

An LR circuit contains an ideal 60-V battery, a 42-H inductor having no resistance, a 24-ΩΩ resistor, and a switch S, all in ser
s2008m [1.1K]

Answer:

1.6 s

Explanation:

To find the time in which the potential difference of the inductor reaches 24V you use the following formula:

V_L=V_oe^{-\frac{Rt}{L}}

V_o: initial voltage = 60V

R: resistance = 24-Ω

L: inductance = 42H

V_L: final voltage = 24 V

You first use properties of the logarithms to get time t, next, replace the values of the parameter:

\frac{V_L}{V_o}=e^{-\frac{Rt}{L}}\\\\ln(\frac{V_L}{V_o})=-\frac{Rt}{L}\\\\t=-\frac{L}{R}ln(\frac{V_L}{V_o})\\\\t=-\frac{42H}{24\Omega}ln(\frac{24V}{60V})=1.6s

hence, after 1.6s the inductor will have a potential difference of 24V

what does it mean for data to be reproducible? how would you conduct an experiment in such a way as to get data reproducible?
PIT_PIT [208]
Reproducible is the term where your answers are similar to other groups. If every other group has similar results as yours (only if you use the same measurements) your results are reproducible. If your results are different to every other group your results aren't reproducible.  <span />

Gravity is the force that pulls you down.
(This is kind of a duh! question ... How do we know
which way is "down" ?  We feel gravity, and we call
that the "down" direction.)

Magnetic force holds things to fridge doors.

Contact forces need to touch something in order to
exert their force.
Example:  Gravity is NOT a contact force.

I don't know about "rubbing things away".
This might be a description of friction, but if so,
it's not a good one.

Buoyant force is what keeps floating things floating.

Air resistance slows things down when they move in air.
