Answer:
Capacitor
Explanation:
A capacitor is a device that stores charges. For a sinusoidal voltage circuit which contains a capacitor, the capacitor will alternately charge and discharge at a rate determined by the frequency of the supply.
When an alternating sinusoidal voltage is applied to the plates of a capacitor in an AC circuit, the capacitor is charged firstly in one direction and then in the opposite direction changing its polarity at the same rate as the AC mains voltage.
Answer:
Explanation:
Given:
Initial Velocity, u = 0 km/s (at rest)
Final Velocity, v = 16 km/s
Time taken, t = 3 sec
acceleration, a = (v - u)/t
= (16 - 0)/3
= 5.33 km/s^2
Answer:
Explanation:
The remaining amount of a radioactive isotope is found as the product of the original amount by (1/2) raised to the number of half-lives elapsed. The formla is:
Where M is the remaining amoun, M₀ i s the initial amount, and n is the number of half-lives.
Here, 1/64 of the original carbon-14 remained, meaning that M/M₀ = 1/64.
Then, you can substitute in the equation and solve:
Then, 6 half-lives elapsed since the mastodon died and the remains were dated.
Then, you must multiply 6 by the <em>half-life </em>time:
- 6 × 5730 years = 34,380 years ← answer
