Answer:

  1/8

Explanation:

17,100 years is 3 times the half-life of 5,700 years. After each half-life, half remains, so the amount remaining after 3 half-lives is ...

  (1/2)(1/2)(1/2) = 1/8

1/8 of the sample remains after 17,100 years.

Why does a balloon stick to a wall questions and problems answers?
Akimi4 [234]
<span>The reason that the balloon will stick to the wall is because the negative charges in the balloon will make the electrons in the wall move to the other side of their atoms and this leaves the surface of the wall positively charged.</span>

4. Two forces act on a 2 kg object as shown. What is the magnitude of the acceleration of the object?
aleksandrvk [35]

The resultant force on the object is

∑ <em>F</em> = 〈0, 8〉 N + 〈6, 0〉 N = 〈6, 8〉 N

which has a magnitude of

<em>F</em> = √((6 N)² + (8 N)²) = √(100 N²) = 10 N

By Newton's second law, the acceleration has magnitude <em>a</em> such that

<em>F</em> = <em>m a</em>

10 N = (2 kg) <em>a</em>

<em>a</em> = (10 N) / (2 kg)

<em>a</em> = 5 m/s²

so the answer is B.

A. How long does it take light to travel through a 3.0-mm-thick piece of window glass?
hodyreva [135]

Answer:

a) 1.517\times10^{-11} s

b) 3.41 mm

Explanation:

a)

We take the speed of light, c = 3.0\times10^8 m/s and the refractive index of glass as 1.517.

Speed = distance/time

Time = distance/speed

Refractive index, n = speed of light in vacuum / speed of light in medium

n=\dfrac{c}{s}

s=\dfrac{c}{n}

t=\dfrac{d}{c/n}

t=\dfrac{dn}{c}

t=\dfrac{3\times10^{-3}\times1.517}{3.0\times10^8}

t=1.517\times10^{-11}

b)

We take the refractive index of water as 1.333.

Speed in water = speed in vacuum / refractive index of water

Distance = speed * time

d=s\times t

d=\dfrac{c}{n_w}\times \dfrac{3\times10^{-3}\times1.517}{c}

d=\dfrac{3\times10^{-3}\times 1.517}{1.333}

d = 3.41 mm
