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.

If the torque on an object adds up to zero Group of answer choices the object is at rest. the object cannot be turning. the obje
garik1379 [7]

Answer:

the body has linear acceleration, but cannot rotate

Explanation:

Let's analyze the system

If the torque is zero, the two forces are the same magnitude, but applied to each side of the body in such a way that the torque cancels the punch of the other. Therefore the body cannot turn

The two forces go in the same direction so the object can have linear acceleration

The object is at rest because it has a force in the same direction, but in the opposite direction.

therefore the correct answer is:

the body has linear acceleration, but cannot rotate

Inside a spinnet, the hammer is sometimes set to strike multiple strings to increase the instrument's volume. If the 523 Hz note
rodikova [14]

Answer:

4.23 beats / seconds

Explanation:

Frequency heard = f = f₁ - f₂

f₂ = f₁  √ ( F₂ / F₁)

f = f₁ - f₁ √ ( F₂ / F₁) = f₁ ( 1 - √ ( F₂ / F₁) = 523 Hz ( 1 - 0.9919 ) = 4.23 beats / seconds

What would an automobile engineer MOST LIKELY suggest to improve the efficiency of a car's engine? A) Remove the engine's coolin
TiliK225 [7]

Answer:

D) Reduce the internal friction of the engine's parts.

Explanation:

To increase the efficiency of the car's engine, an engineer most like has to reduce the friction within the internal engine parts. Reducing these friction reduces the useful energy lost as heat in these internal parts of the engine, when the engine parts do work against friction to move. In most everyday activities, engines and machines, energy is usually lost as heat due to frictional forces arising from two or more surfaces in contact.
