dimaraw [331]

Answer:

14 m/s

Explanation:

Using the principle of conservation of energy, the potential energy is converted to kinetic energy, assuming any losses.

Kinetic energy is given by ½mv²

Potential energy is given by mgh

Where m is the mass, v is the velocity, g is acceleration due to gravity and h is the height.

Equating kinetic energy to be equal to potential energy then

½mv²=mgh

Making v the subject of the formula

v=√(2gh)

Substituting 9.81 m/s² for g and 10 m for h then

v=√(2*9.81*10)=14.0071410359145 m/s

Rounding off, v is approximately 14 m/s

A light plane must reach a speed of 33 m/s per take off. How long a runway is needed if the constant acceleration is 3.0 m/s^2.

aleksley [76]

Given the final velocity (Vf) and the acceleration (a), the distance that should be traveled by the plane is calculated through the equation,
d = (Vf² - Vi²) / 2a
V1 should be zero because the light plane started the motion from rest. Substituting the given values,
d = ((33 m/s)² - 0)) / 2(3 m/s²)
The distance is therefore equal to 181.5 meters.

A tree falls in a forest. How many years must pass before the 14C activity in 1.03 g of the tree's carbon drops to 1.02 decay pe

Illusion [34]

Answer:

t = 5.59x10⁴ y

Explanation:

To calculate the time for the ¹⁴C drops to 1.02 decays/h, we need to use the next equation:

$A_{t} = A_{0}\cdot e^{- \lambda t}$ (1)

where $A_{t}$ : is the number of decays with time, A₀: is the initial activity, λ: is the decay constant and t: is the time.

To find A₀ we can use the following equation:

$A_{0} = N_{0} \lambda$ (2)

where N₀: is the initial number of particles of ¹⁴C in the 1.03g of the trees carbon

From equation (2), the N₀ of the ¹⁴C in the trees carbon can be calculated as follows:

$N_{0} = \frac{m_{T} \cdot N_{A} \cdot abundance}{m_{^{12}C}}$

where $m_{T}$ : is the tree's carbon mass, $N_{A}$ : is the Avogadro's number and $m_{^{12}C}$ : is the ¹²C mass.

$N_{0} = \frac{1.03g \cdot 6.022\cdot 10^{23} \cdot 1.3\cdot 10^{-12}}{12} = 6.72 \cdot 10^{10} atoms ^{14}C$

Similarly, from equation (2) λ is:

$\lambda = \frac{Ln(2)}{t_{1/2}}$

where t 1/2: is the half-life of ¹⁴C= 5700 years

$\lambda = \frac{Ln(2)}{5700y} = 1.22 \cdot 10^{-4} y^{-1}$

So, the initial activity A₀ is:

$A_{0} = 6.72 \cdot 10^{10} \cdot 1.22 \cdot 10^{-4} = 8.20 \cdot 10^{6} decays/y$

Finally, we can calculate the time from equation (1):

$t = - \frac{Ln(A_{t}/A_{0})}{\lambda} = - \frac {Ln(\frac{1.02decays \cdot 24h \cdot 365d}{1h\cdot 1d \cdot 1y \cdot 8.20 \cdot 10^{6} decays/y})}{1.22 \cdot 10^{-4} y^{-1}} = 5.59 \cdot 10^{4} y$

I hope it helps you!

arlik [135]

Answer: a) 19.21m b) 3.92secs

Explanation:

a) Maximum height reached by the object is the height reached by an object before falling freely under gravity.

Maximum height = U²/2g

U is the initial velocity = 19.6m/s

g is acceleration due to gravity = 10m/s²

Maximum Height = 19.6²/2(10)

H = 19.21m

b) The time elapsed before the stone hits the ground is the time of flight T= 2U/g

T= 2(19.6)/10

T = 39.2/10

Time elapsed is 3.92secs
