The half life of Carbon-14 is 5730 years, how many years would it take for 7/8 of the original amount to decay?
<span>Can somebody please help with this problem. I *think* I understand the basics of what a half life is. If I learned correctly, its the amount it takes for half of a sample to decay. It should also happen exponentially, 1/2 remaining after one half life, 1/4 after the second, 1/16 after the third etc. I'm still a little shaky though. Could somebody please clarify what exactly a half life is and how it can be determined (i.e. how to find the time it would take for 7/8 to decay) </span>
Answer:
(a). Z = 54.54 ohm
(b). R = 36 ohm
(c). The circuit will be Capacitive.
Explanation:
Given data
I = 2.75 A
Voltage = 150 V
rad = 48.72°
(a). Impedance of the circuit is given by


Z = 54.54 ohm
(b). We know that resistance of the circuit is given by

Put the values of Z &
in above formula we get

R = 36 ohm
(c). Since the phase angle is negative so the circuit will be Capacitive.
Answer:
14m/s
Explanation:
Given parameters:
Radius of the curve = 50m
Centripetal acceleration = 3.92m/s²
Unknown:
Speed needed to keep the car on the curve = ?
Solution:
The centripetal acceleration is the inwardly directly acceleration needed to keep a body along a curved path.
It is given as;
a =
a is the centripetal acceleration
v is the speed
r is the radius
Now insert the parameters and find v;
v² = ar
v² = 3.92 x 50 = 196
v = √196 = 14m/s

Explanation:
Velocity of the ship is given as

the direction of the velocity of the ship is making an angle of 11 degree with the current
so we will have two components of the velocity
1) along the direction of the current
2) perpendicular to the direction of the current
so here we know that the component of the ship velocity along the direction of the current is given as
