Answer:
Explanation:
The relation between activity and number of radioactive atom in the sample is as follows
dN / dt = λ N where λ is disintegration constant and N is number of radioactive atoms
For the beginning period
dN₀ / dt = λ N₀
58.2 = λ N₀
similarly
41 = λ N
dividing
58.2 / 41 = N₀ / N
N = N₀ x .70446
formula of radioactive decay
- λ t = ln .70446 = - .35
t = .35 / λ
λ = .693 / half life
= .693 / 5715
= .00012126
t = .35 / .00012126
= 2886.36
= 2900 years ( rounding it in two significant figures )
Answer:
B) Caused by the Sun
Explanation:
If you look at a picture of a solar system, you will see the sun in the middle. The sun is the powerhouse of the solar system. So that means that the sun is the biggest star and can provide enough light to reach earth and keep it lit.
Nothing can be determined from the curve without seeing the curve.
Answer:
0.999958c
Explanation:
Remember that the trip involves traveling for six months at a constant velocity thus returning home at same speed . The time interval of this trip will therefore be one year.
Accurate time interval to be measured by the clock on the spaceship Δt0 = 1.0 years
Time interval as advanced on earth observed from the spacecraft Δt = 110 years
the formula for time dilation is
Δt = Δt0 /√(1-v2/c2)
or v = c*√1-(Δt0/Δt)2
=c*√[1-(1year/110years)2]
= 0.999958c
