The asker of the second question needs a tutorial in radiometric dating. There is little likelihood that the daughter isotope has the same atomic weight as the parent isotope. To measure the mass isotopes doesn't tell us how many atoms of each exist. To get around that let's pretend — which will likely serve the purpose ineptly intended — that the values give an the particle ratio, 125:875.
<span>The original parent isotope count was 125 + 875 = 1000. The remaining parent isotope is 125/1000 or 1/8. 1/8 = (1/2)^h, where h is the number of half-lives. </span>
<span>h = log (1/8) ÷ log(1/2) = 3 </span>
<span>And 3 half-lives • 150,000 years/half-life = 450,000 years.</span>
Answer:
(B) Sending Messages
Explanation:
- A similarity between radio waves and microwaves is that both are used for sending messages and communication
Radio Waves and Microwaves have longer wavelengths and lower frequencies. Longer wavelengths than an x-ray which is in the electromagnetic spectrum and lower frequencies than gamma rays, which are also in the electromagnetic spectrum. They are also both electromagnetic radiation.
Answer:
7500 m
Explanation:
The radar emits an electromagnetic wave that travels towards the object and then it is reflected back to the radar.
We can call L the distance between the radar and the object; this means that the electromagnetic wave travels twice this distance, so
d = 2L
In a time of

Electromagnetic waves travel in a vacuum at the speed of light, which is equal to

Since the electromagnetic wave travels with constant speed, we can use the equation for uniform motion ,so:
(1)
where


, where L is the distance between the radar and the object
Re-arranging eq(1) and substituting, we find L:

Answer:
9 m/s
Explanation:
mass of cannon, M = 100 kg
mass of cannon ball, m = 10 kg
velocity of cannon ball, v = 90 m/s
Let the recoil velocity of cannon is V.
Us ethe conservation of linear momentum, as no external force is acting on the system, so the linear momentum of the system is conserved.
Momentum before the firing = momentum after the firing
M x 0 + m x 0 = M x V + m x v
0 = 100 x V + 10 x 90
V = - 9 m/s
Thus, the recoil velocity of cannon is 9 m/s.
