Answer:3.56 nanosecond
In this case, you are asked the time and given the light distance(3.5ft)
To answer this question you would need to know the velocity of light. Speed of light is <span>299792458m/s. Then the calculation would be:
time= distance/speed
time= 3.5 ft / (</span>299792458m/s) x 0.3048 meter/ 1 ft= 3.56
second or 3.56 nanosecond
Answer:
The artifact is 11,460 years old.
<u>Explanation</u>:
Given that,
The half life of the carbon-14 is 5730 years and we are left with 255 of the sample of wood from an arti-fact.
So it takes 5730 years for the sample to reduce into half
Initially there will be 100% of the sample so
after first 5730 years, the sample reduces into 50% percent
Now the left 50% sample will take another 5730 years to decay into half of its amount.
after next 5730 years the sample reduces into 25% percent
So totally after 2 half-life the sample reduces into 25%
That is (5730 +5730) years = 11460 years
Answer:
1.) 11 km/s
2.) 9.03 × 10^-5 metres
Explanation:
Given that an electron enters a region of uniform electric field with an initial velocity of 64 km/s in the same direction as the electric field, which has magnitude E = 48 N/C.
Electron q = 1.6×10^-19 C
Electron mass = 9.11×10^-31 Kg
(a) What is the speed of the electron 1.3 ns after entering this region?
E = F/q
F = Eq
Ma = Eq
M × V/t = Eq
Substitute all the parameters into the formula
9.11×10^-31 × V/1.3×10^-9 = 48 × 1.6×10^-19
V = 7.68×10^-18 /7.0×10^-22
V = 10971.43 m/s
V = 11 Km/s approximately
(b) How far does the electron travel during the 1.3 ns interval?
The initial velocity U = 64 km/s
S = ut + 1/2at^2
S = 64000×1.3×10^-6 + 1/2 × 8.4×10^12 × ( 1.3×10^-9)^2
S =8.32×10^-5 + 7.13×10^-6
S = 9.03 × 10^-5 metres
