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.

egoroff_w [7]

The centripetal acceleration of an object is given by the relation,

Ac =V^2/R

where Ac = centripetal acceleration = 98 m/s^2

R = radius of rotation = 15 m

V = speed of astronaut

Hence, \frac{V^2}{15} =98

solving this we get, V = 38.34 m/s

saw5 [17]

Answer:

8.60 g/cm³

Explanation:

In the lattice structure of iron, there are two atoms per unit cell. So:

\frac{2}{a^{3} }  = \frac{N_{A} }{V_{molar} } where V_{molar}  = \frac{A}{\rho } an and A is the atomic mass of iron.

Therefore:

\frac{2}{a^{3} } = \frac{N_{A} * p }{A}

This implies that:

A = (\frac{2A}{N_{A} * p)^{\frac{1}{3} }  }

  = \frac{4}{\sqrt{3} }r

Assuming that there is no phase change gives:

\rho = \frac{4A}{N_{A}(2\sqrt{2r})^{3}   }

  = 8.60 g/m³

A 4.00-kg particle moves along the x axis. Its position varies with time according to x 5 t 1 2.0t 3, where x is in meters and t
White raven [17]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given equation is ,

x =t + 2 t³ ,

dx/dt = velocity ( v ) = 1 + 6 t²

a) kinetic energy = 1/2 m v² = .5 x 4 ( 1 + 6 t² )² = 2 ( 1 + 6 t²)²

b ) Acceleration = dv /dt = 12 t .

force( F ) = mass x acceleration = 4 x 12 t = 48 t

Power = force x velocity = 48 t x ( 1 + 6 t²). = 48 t + 288 t³ )

work done = ∫ F dx =∫ 48 t x( 1 + 6t² )dt ; =  [48t²/2 + 48 x 6 x t³ /3 = 24 t² + 96 t³ )]₀² =  864 J
