How many carbon-14 atoms are left after 1 half-life

Physics
1 answer:
Marizza181 [45]2 years ago
7 0

Answer:

The time it takes for 14C to radioactively decay is described by its half-life. C has a half-life of 5,730 years. In other words, after 5,730 years, only half of the original amount of 14C remains in a sample of organic material. After an additional 5,730 years–or 11,460 years total–only a quarter of the 14C remains.

Explanation:

Hope this helps

A "590-W" electric heater is designed to operate from 120-V lines.
lukranit [14]

Answer:

a) 24.4 Ω

b) 4.92 A

c) 495.9 W

d)

c. It will be larger. The resistance will be smaller so the current drawn will increase, increasing the power.

Explanation:

b)

The formula for power is:

P = IV

where,

P = Power of heater = 590 W

V = Voltage it takes = 120 V

I = Current Drawn = ?

Therefore,

590 W = (I)(120 V)

I = 590 W/120 V

<u>I = 4.92 A</u>

<u></u>

a)

From Ohm's Law:

V = IR

R = V/I

Therefore,

R = 120 V/4.92 A

<u>R = 24.4 Ω</u>

<u></u>

c)

For constant resistance and 110 V the power becomes:

P = V²/R

Therefore,

P = (110 V)²/24.4 Ω

<u>P = 495.9 W</u>

<u></u>

d)

If the resistance decreases, it will increase the current according to Ohm's Law. As a result of increase in current the power shall increase according to formula (P = VI). Therefore, correct option is:

<u>c. It will be larger. The resistance will be smaller so the current drawn will increase, increasing the power.</u>

A truck moving at 13.3 m/s hits a concrete wall. As a result of the collision, a 6-kg wrench moves forwards and strikes the wall
Naddik [55]

Answer:

Explanation:

The velocity of the wrench must be equal to the velocity of the truck . So momentum of the wrench before it hits the wall

= mv = 6 x 13.3 = 79.8 kg m /s

If resisting force of wall be F , impulse on the wrench = F x time

= F x .07

Impulse = change in momentum of the wrench = mv - 0 = mv = 79.8 kgm/s

So F x .07 = 79.8

F = 1140 N .
