Answer:

10,000 years

Explanation:

Given that,

Half life of the radioactive isotope, t_{\frac{1}{2}} = 5000 years

Initial composition, N_0 = 16 grams

Final composition, N = 4 grams

We know that,

N=N_0\times (\dfrac{1}{2})^\frac{t}{t_\frac{1}{2}}}\\\\4=16(0.5)^\frac{t}{5000}}\\\\\dfrac{4}{16}=(0.5)^{\frac{t}{5000}}\\\\0.25=(0.5)^\frac{t}{5000}\\\\0.5^2=(0.5)^\frac{t}{5000}\\\\2=\dfrac{t}{5000}\\\\t=2\times 5000\\\\t=10000\ yrs

Therefore, the age of the rock is 10,000 years.

Hoop rolling up an inclined plane A hollow cylinder (or hoop) is rolling along a horizontal surface with speed v = 3.3 m/s when
Naya [18.7K]

Answer:

Explanation:

For rolling up or down an incline plane , the acceleration or deceleration of the rolling body is given by the following expression

a = g sinθ / (1 + k²/r² )

where k is radius of gyration of rolling body and θ is angle of inclination

a = g sin15 / ( 1 + 1 ) [ for hoop k = r ]

a = 9.8 x .2588 / 2

= 1.268 m / s²

a )

Let s be the distance up to which it goes

v² = u² - 2as

0 = 3.3² - 2 x 1.268 s

s = 4.3 m

b ) Let time in going up be t₁

v = u - at₁

0 = 3.3 - 1.268 t₁

t₁ = 2.6 s

Time in going down t₂

s = 1/2 a t₂²

4.3 = .5 x 1.268 t₂²

t₂ = 2.60

Total time

= t₁ +t₂

= 2.6 + 2.6

= 5.2 s
