After a plant or animal dies the 14C content decreases with a half-life of 5730 years. If an archaeologist finds an ancient fire

Shalnov [3]

Answer:

age of the site is 15411.75 years old

Explanation:

Given data

plant or animal dies = 14C

time period = 5730 year

carbon = 15.5%

to find out

age (in years) of the ancient site

solution

we know that Final value = Initial value × $0.5^{n}$

here n is half life passed

so for 15.5%

15.5% = 100% of $0.5^{n}$

0.155 = 1 × $0.5^{n}$

now take log both side

log 0.155 = log $0.5^{n}$

n = log 0.155 / log 0.5

n = 2.68966

we know here 5730 years in half life

so for 2.68966 half-lives = 2.68966 × 5730 = 15411.7518

age of the site is 15411.75 years old

A 9-μC positive point charge is located at the origin and a 6 μC positive point charge is located at x = 0.00 m, y = 1.0 m. Find

sukhopar [10]

Answer:

The coordinates of the point is (0,0.55).

Explanation:

Given that,

First charge $q_{1}=9\times10^{-6}\ C$ at origin

Second charge $q_{2}=6\times10^{-6}\ C$

Second charge at point P = (0,1)

We assume that,

The net electric field between the charges is zero at mid point.

Using formula of electric field

$E=\dfrac{kq}{r^2}$

$0=\dfrac{k\times9\times10^{-6}}{d^2}+\dfrac{k\times6\times10^{-6}}{(1-d)^2}$

$\dfrac{(1-d)}{d}=\sqrt{\dfrac{6}{9}}$

$\dfrac{1}{d}=\dfrac{\sqrt{6}}{3}+1$

$\dfrac{1}{d}=1.82$

$d=\dfrac{1}{1.82}$

$d=0.55\ m$

Hence, The coordinates of the point is (0,0.55).

How does atomic bombs work?

yarga [219]

Answer:

Nuclear fission produces the atomic bomb, a weapon of mass destruction that uses power released by the splitting of atomic nuclei. When a single free neutron strikes the nucleus of an atom of radioactive material like uranium or plutonium, it knocks two or three more neutrons free.

Explanation:

this chain reaction releases tremendous amount of energy
