What are the different isotopes of carbon and which isotopes are relevant for carbon dating?

Physics

GuDViN [60]3 years ago

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.

Ne4ueva [31]

Answer:

a)  fr = 224.3 N , b)   fr = 224.3 N , c)   v = 198.0  m/s

Explanation:

a) For this exercise let's start by calculating the acceleration in the fall

             v² = v₀² - 2 a (y-y₀)

When it jumps the initial vertical speed is zero

             a = -v² / 2 (y-y₀)

             a = -68 2/2 (1000-2000)

             a = 2,312 m / s²

Let's use the second net law to enter the average friction force

            fr = m a

            fr = 97 2,312

            fr = 224.3 N

b) let's look for acceleration

            v² = v₀² - 2 a y

            a = (v² –v₀²) / 2 (y-y₀)

            a = (4² - 68²) / 2 (0-1000)

            a = 2,304 m / s²

            fr = m a

            fr = 97 2,304

            fr = 223.5 N

c) the speed of the wallet is searched with kinematics

           v² = v₀² - 2 g (y-y₀)

           v = √ (0-2 9.8 (0-2000))

           v = 198.0  m/s

A 750-newton person stands in an elevator that is
blondinia [14]
When an elevator is accelerating downward, the normal force is equal to mg-ma (hence you feel a little lighter when accelerating downwards)

Therefore, the upward force of the elevator floor on the person must be less than 750N

A gold ball has a mass of 45g. In a speed test, a golf ball was driven from rest to a velocity of 90m/s.
Andrew [12]

Answer:

1)

Acceleration (a)=change in velocity/ change in time

Velocity (v)=90m/s

Time=0.0005s

a=90/0.0005

The acceleration =180000m/s^2 or 180km/s^2

Force = mass x acceleration

m=40g= 0.04kg

F= 0.04x 180000

F= 7200N or 7.2kN
