Answer:

c) 22,920 years

Explanation:

The half-life of C-14 is 5730 so in 5730 years , amount of C-14 is reduced to half.

In 5730 x 2  years , the amount of C-14 is reduced to 1/4 .

In 5730 x 3 years ,  the amount of C-14 is reduced to 1/8 .

In 5730 x 4 years ,  the amount of C-14 is reduced to 1/16 .

In 22920 years ,  the amount of C-14 is reduced to 1/16 .

So the answer is 22920 years.

A 750 Watt hairdryer is used for 15 minutes. Calculate the Kwhr used. Calculate the cost to use 15 min. every day for 1 year @ 8
Rufina [12.5K]
Part (a):
We know that:
1 kw = 1000 watt ..........> Therefore, to convert watt into kw, we will divide by 1000
1 hour = 60 min ..........> Therefore, to convert mins into hours, we will divide by 60
Based on the above, the conversion results for the two units together would be as follows:
1 watt minute is equivalent to <span>0.000017 kilowatt hours
</span>Now, for the given , we will simply use cross multiplication to do the conversion as follows:
1 watt minute..............> 0.000017 kilowatt hours
750*15 ................> ??
750*15 watt min = 0.19125 kilowatt hour

Part (b):
From part a, we have that the consumption is 0.19125 kilowatt hour per day. Assuming that the year is 365 days, we would have:
yearly consumption = 0.19125 * 365 = 69.80625 kilowatt hour
The cost is 8 cents/kilowatt hour
Therefore:
yearly cost = 69.80625 * 8 = 558.45 cents

Hope this helps :)

In each of the four situations below an object is experiencing (nearly) uniform circular motion. State what force is providing t
Stells [14]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given that a centripetal force is a form of force that gives rise or causes a body to move in a curved path.

Hence;

1. When a car is being driven around a track, it is the FORCE OF FRICTION that is acting upon the turned wheels of the vehicle, which transforms into the centripetal force required for circular motion.

2. When a ball being is swung on the end of a string, TENSION FORCE acts upon the ball, which transforms the centripetal force required for circular motion.

3. When the moon is orbiting the earth, it is the FORCE OF GRAVITY acting upon the moon, which transforms the centripetal force required for circular motion.

4. A rotating wheel on the other hand has NO centripetal force because centripetal force is pull towards the center of a motion. However the speed of the object is tangent to the circle, while the direction of the force is also perpendicular to the direction of the rotating wheel.
