Answer:

Archaeologist use radioactive isotopes to determine the ages of various objects, rocks and materials. This is called radioactive dating. Radioactive isotope Carbon-14 is widely used for this dating process.

Scientists use radioactive isotopes in agriculture to monitor or study the uptake and use of essential nutrients by plants from the soil. This helps to determine viability, productivity and nutritious ability of the plants on a piece of land.

Geologists use radioactive isotopes to trace leaks in underground water storage, pipes. Radioactive isotopes are effective tracers because their radioactivity can be easily detected.

Answer:

Explanation:

Archaeologists use radioactive isotopes for Radiometric dating which is typically a method of dating based on the rate of decay of radioactive isotopes present in all organic materials.

The radiometric dating technique tyat is Carbon-14 or radiocarbon is used widely in archaeology.

Scientists use radioactive isotopes in agriculture as research tools in the development of new strains of agricultural crops that are drought and disease resistant, of higher quality, have shorter growing time and produce a higher yield of produce.

Radioactive elements can be used to understand numerical age of geological materials like rock ages, composition, origin etc. on time scales as long as (and even longer than) the age of the Earth. The use of Radiometric dating is employed.

A plastic beach ball has radius 21.6 cm and mass 0.100 kg, not including the air inside. Assume the air density is 1.30 kg/m3 bo
vichka [17]

Answer: 0.1416 kg

Explanation:

Total Mass = Mass of beach ball + Mass of air inside

Mass of beach ball = 0.100 kg

Mass of air = density * volume

Density = 1.30 kg/m^3

Radius (r) = 21.6 cm = 0.216 m

Volume (sphere) = π * r^3 = π * (0.216)^3 = 0.032 m^3

Hence:

Mass of air = 1.30 * 0.032 = 0.0416 kg

Total Mass = 0.100 + 0.0416 = 0.1416 kg

A dog is 10 m from a cat, whose speeds are 6 and 5 m / s, respectively. What time does the dog require to catch the cat?
scoray [572]

Answer:

10 seconds

Explanation:

because the cat is moving one m/s slower than the dog, the dog has a relative speed of 1 m/s. 10 meters would take 10 seconds for the dog to cover

Calculate the heat energy released when 17.7 g of liquid mercury at 25.00 °c is converted to solid mercury at its melting point.
maria [59]

Answer;

Q = 359.2-J  

Explanation;

Given that;

Constants for mercury at 1 atm  

Heat capacity of Hg(l) is 28.0 J/(mol*K)  

melting point is 234.32 K  

Enthalpy of fusion is 2.29 kJ/mol

17.7-g Hg / 200.6g/mol = 0.0882 mol Hg;

°C + 273 = 298 K;

2.29-kJ/mol = 2290-J/mol  

Q = (m x ΔT x Cp) + (m x Hf)  

Q = 0.0882-mol x (298 - 234.32) x 28.0-J/mol*K) + (0.0882-mol x 2290-J/mol)  

Q = 157.26-J + 201.978-J  

Q = 359.2-J  

Q=359-J (3 sig fig allowed due to 17.7-g given in problem)
