From reliable sources in the internet, the half-live of carbon-14 is given to be 5,730 years. In a span of 10,000 to 12,000 years, there are almost or little more than 2 half-lives. Thus, there should be
A(t) = A(0)(1/2)^t
where t is the number of half-lives, in this case 2. Thus, only about 1/4 of the original amount will be left.
The AMOUNT of energy the ball has doesn't change. It's 294 joules in Darwin's hand, and it's still 294 joules when the ball hits the ground. It's all PE before he let's it go, and it steadily changes from PE to KE all the way down.
It BEGINS to turn into KE immediately, when Darwin lets go of the ball, and it starts to fall.
More and more PE turns into KE as the ball falls, all the way down.
When the ball hits the ground, it has no more PE left. All of its mechanical energy is then KE.
Answer:
(a) 0.177 m
(b) 16.491 s
(c) 25 cycles
Explanation:
(a)
Distance between the maximum and the minimum of the wave = 2A ............ Equation 1
Where A = amplitude of the wave.
Given: A = 0.0885 m,
Distance between the maximum and the minimum of the wave = (2×0.0885) m
Distance between the maximum and the minimum of the wave = 0.177 m.
(b)
T = 1/f ...................... Equation 2.
Where T = period, f = frequency.
Given: f = 4.31 Hz
T = 1/4.31
T = 0.23 s.
If 1 cycle pass through the stationary observer for 0.23 s.
Then, 71.7 cycles will pass through the stationary observer for (0.23×71.7) s.
= 16.491 s.
(c)
If 1.21 m contains 1 cycle,
Then, 30.7 m will contain (30.7×1)/1.21
= 25.37 cycles
Approximately 25 cycles.
A bond with elements from B.
