Answer:

B. 560 J

J. 1.2 m

Explanation:

v = Final velocity = 0

u = Initial velocity = 4 m/s

\mu = Coefficient of friction = 0.7

m = Mass of runner = 70 kg

g = Acceleration due to gravity = 9.81\ \text{m/s}^2

Kinetic energy is given by

K=\dfrac{1}{2}m(v^2-u^2)\\\Rightarrow K=\dfrac{1}{2}\times 70\times (0^2-4^2)\\\Rightarrow K=-560\ \text{J}

The mechanical energy lost is 560 J

Acceleration is given by

a=-\mu g\\\Rightarrow a=-0.7\times 9.81\\\Rightarrow a=-6.867\ \text{m/s}^2

From kinematic equations we get

v^2-u^2=2as\\\Rightarrow s=\dfrac{v^2-u^2}{2a}\\\Rightarrow s=\dfrac{0^2-4^2}{2\times -6.867}\\\Rightarrow s=1.165\approx 1.2\ \text{m}

The runner slides for 1.2 m

Answer:

8. 2.75·10^-4 s^-1

9. No, too much of the carbon-14 would have decayed for radiation to be detected.

Explanation:

8. The half-life of 42 minutes is 2520 seconds, so you have ...

1/2 = e^(-λt) = e^(-(2520 s)λ)

ln(1/2) = -(2520 s)λ

-ln(1/2)/(2520 s) = λ ≈ 2.75×10^-4 s^-1

___

9. Reference material on carbon-14 dating suggests the method is not useful for time periods greater than about 50,000 years. The half-life of C-14 is about 5730 years, so at 65 million years, about ...

6.5·10^7/5.73·10^3 ≈ 11344

half-lives will have passed. Whatever carbon 14 may have existed at the time will have decayed completely to nothing after that many half-lives.

A circuit with resistive elements of 220, 100, 57, and 43 produce what total resistance?
Korvikt [17]

The total resistance is 420 ohm.

A circuit with resistive elements of 220, 100, 57, and 43 produce what total resistance  

 R= 220+ 100+ 57+ 43

    = 420 Ω

What is resistance and its types?

Resistance is a measure of the opposition to current flow in an electrical circuit also known as ohmic resistance or electrical resistance. Ohms are measured as resistance, symbolized by the Greek letter omega (Ω). The ratio of the applied voltage to the current through the material is then known as resistance.

What causes resistance?

An electric current flows when electrons move through a conductor, such as a metal wire. The moving electrons can collide with the ions in the metal. This makes it more difficult for the current to flow, and causes resistance.
