Ans: Radiocarbon dating uses carbon isotopes.

Radiocarbon dating relies on the carbon isotopes carbon-14 and carbon-12. Scientists are looking for the ratio of those two isotopes in a sample. Most carbon on Earth exists as the very stable isotope carbon-12, with a very small amount as carbon-13.

Centripetal force is a centering force related to acceleration. The centripetal force when driving prevents which of the followi
aivan3 [116]

Answer:

C. The car from driving off the road on a curve

Explanation:

A centripetal force actually causes circular motion. This occurs when an object moves in a circular path or a circle,a force will definitely act on it.

For instance, a car travelling in a circular path must definitely experience this force acting on it, even when the car moves at a constant speed. If it does not exist the object will definitely spin off in a direction tangential to the circular path or curve.

An AC power source has an rms voltage of 120 V and operates at a frequency of 60.0 Hz. If a purely inductive circuit is made fro
Dmitrij [34]

Answer:

(a) 17634.24 Ω

(b) 0.0068 A

Explanation:

(a)

The formula for inductive inductance is given as

X' = 2πFL................... Equation 1

Where X' = inductive reactance, F = frequency, L = inductance

Given: F = 60 Hz, L = 46.8 H, π = 3.14

Substitute into equation 1

X' = 2(3.14)(60)(46.8)

X' = 17634.24 Ω

(b)

From Ohm's law,

Vrms = X'Irms

Where Vrms = Rms Voltage, Irms = rms Current.

make Irms the subject of the equation

Irms = Vrms/X'...................... Equation 2

Given: Vrms = 120 V, X' = 17634.24 Ω

Substitute into equation 2

Irms = 120/17634.24

Irms = 0.0068 A

An object is placed at O ona number line. It moves 3 units to the right, then 4 units to the left, and then 6 units to
kvv77 [185]

Answer:

You have a displacement of 5 units to the right.

Explanation:

First you go three to the right which lands on the 3 mark. Then you move it 4 to the left which substracts 4, landing the object at -1. Finally you move 6 to the right, and you finish at marker 5. Since displacement is not total distance but just final distance from the start point directly to end point, it is only a displacement of 5.
