A conductor is a material in which what can move through easily? Electrons Water Condensation Oil

If it takes the cannonball 2 seconds to reach the maximum height, we can use the analysis of the vertical component of the velocity and the fact that the acceleration of gravity is the one acting opposite to this initial vertical component $(v_y)$ of the velocity. We know as well that at the top of the trajectory, the vertical component of the velocity is zero, and then the movement starts going down in it trajectory. So, the final velocity for the first part of the ascending movement is zero, giving us the following equation for the velocity under an accelerated movement (with acceleration of gravity "g" acting):

$v_f=v_i-a\,t\\v_f=v_y-g\,t\\0=v_y-9.8\,*\,2\\v_y=9.8\,*\,2=19.6 \frac{m}{s}$

By knowing the vertical component of the initial velocity (19.6 m/s), and the actual magnitude of the total initial velocity (40 m/s), we can calculate what angle was the initial velocity vector forming above the horizontal. We use for such the fact that the sine of the angle relates the opposite side of a right angle triangle with the hypotenuse, and solve for the angle using the arcsin function:

$sin(\theta)=\frac{opp}{hyp} \\sin(\theta)=\frac{19.6}{40}\\\theta=arcsin(\frac{19.6}{40})\\\theta=29.34^o$

which tells us that the closer answer shown is $30^o$

What causes wind how does the process reverse itself between day and night?

iris [78.8K]

<span>Wind is nature's way of balancing the temperature between hot and cold. Wind always flows from heat to cool. When night falls, the air cools. And since it gets cooler at night it reverses.</span>

A) 320 count/min

B) 40 count/min

C) 80 count/min, 11400 years

Explanation:

A)

The activity of a radioactive sample is the number of decays per second in the sample.

The activity of a sample is therefore directly proportional to the number of nuclei in the sample:

$A\propto N$

where A is the activity and N the number of nuclei.

As a consequence, since the number of nuclei is proportional to the mass of the sample, the activity is also directly proportional to the mass of the sample:

$A\propto m$

where m is the mass of the sample.

In this problem:

- When the mass is $m_1 = 1 g$ , the activity is $A_1=16 count/min$

- When the mass is $m_2=20 g$ , the activity is $A_2$

So we can find A2 by using the rule of three:

$\frac{A_1}{m_1}=\frac{A_2}{m_2}\\A_2=A_1 \frac{m_2}{m_1}=(16)\frac{20}{1}=320 count/min$

B)

The equation describing the activity of a radioactive sample as a function of time is:

$A(t)= A_0 e^{-\lambda t}$ (1)

where

$A_0$ is the initial activity at time t = 0

t is the time

$\lambda$ is the decay constant, which gives the probability of decay

The decay constant can be found using the equation

$\lambda = \frac{ln2}{t_{1/2}}$

where $t_{1/2}$ is the half-life, which is the amount of time it takes for the radioactive sample to halve its activity.

In this problem, carbon-14 has half-life of

$t_{1/2}=5700 y$

So its decay constant is

$\lambda=\frac{ln2}{5700}=1.22\cdot 10^{-4} y^{-1}$

We also know that the tree died

t = 17,100 years ago

and that the initial activity was

$A_0 = 320 count/min$ (value calculated in part A, corresponding to a mass of 20 g)

So, substituting into eq(1), we find the new activity:

$A(17,100) = (320)e^{-(1.22\cdot 10^{-4})(17,100)}=40 count/min$

C)

We know that a sample of living wood has an activity of

$A=16 count/min$ per 1 g of mass.

Here we have 5 g of mass, therefore the activity of the sample when it was living was:

$A_0 = A\cdot 5 = (16)(5)=80 count/min$

Moreover, here we have a sample of 5 g, with current activity of $A=20 count/min$ : it means that its activity per gram of mass is

$A'=\frac{20}{5}=4 count/min$

We know that the activity halves after every half-life: Here the activity has became 1/4 of the original value, this means that 2 half-lives have passed, because:

- After 1 half-life, the activity drops from 16 count/min to 8 count/min

- After 2 half-lives, the activity dropd to 4 count/min

So the age of the wood is equal to 2 half-lives, which is:

$t=2t_{1/2}=2(5700)=11,400 y$
