Scientists use radioactive decay to measure

Physics
2 answers:
UNO [17]3 years ago
5 0

Answer:

"Scientist use radioactive decay to measure the age of a rock or fossil."

Explanation:

"To establish the age of a rock or a fossil, researchers use some type of clock to determine the date it was formed. Geologists commonly use radiometric dating methods, based on the natural radioactive decay of certain elements such as potassium and carbon, as reliable clocks to date ancient events."

Radiometric dating, often called radioactive dating, is a technique used to determine the age of materials such as rocks. It is based on a comparison between the observed abundance of a naturally occurring radioactive isotope and its decay products, using known decay rates. Hope this helps! Mark brainly please!

A 2 kg object traveling at 5 m s on a frictionless horizontal surface collides head-on with and sticks to a 3 kg object initiall
Svetlanka [38]

Answer: (d)

Explanation:

Given

Mass of object m=2\ kg

Speed of object u=5\ m/s

Mass of object at rest M=3\ kg

Suppose after collision, speed is v

conserving momentum

\Rightarrow mu+0=(m+M)v\\\\\Rightarrow v=\dfrac{2\times 5}{2+3}\\\\\Rightarrow v=2\ m/s

Initial kinetic energy

k_1=\dfrac{1}{2}\times 2\times 5^2\\\\k_1=25\ J

Final kinetic energy

k_2=\dfrac{1}{2}\times (2+3)\times 2^2\\\\k_2=10\ J

So, it is clear there is decrease in kinetic energy . Thus, energy decreases and velocity becomes 2 m/s.

What is the mass of a crate if a net force of 12 N gives the crate an acceleration of 0.20 m/s2?
Veseljchak [2.6K]
A :-) for this question , we should apply
F = ma
Given - F = 12 N
a = 0.20 m/s^2
Solution -
F = ma
12 = m x 0.20
m = 12 by 0.20
m = 60 kg

.:. The mass is 60 kg.

A 2.30-kg cylindrical rod of length 2.00 m is suspended from a horizontal bar so it is free to swing about that end. a solid sph
Marina86 [1]

Solution:


initial sphere mvr = final sphere mvr + Iω 
where I = mL²/3 = 2.3g * (2m)² / 3 = 3.07 kg·m² 
0.25kg * (12.5 + 9.5)m/s * (4/5)2m = 3.07 kg·m² * ω 
where: ω = 2.87 rad/s 

So for the rod, initial E = KE = ½Iω² = ½ * 3.07kg·m² * (2.87rad/s)² 
E = 12.64 J becomes PE = mgh, so 
12.64 J = 2.3 kg * 9.8m/s² * h 
h = 0.29 m 

h = L(1 - cosΘ) → where here L is the distance to the CM 
0.03m = 1m(1 - cosΘ) = 1m - 1m*cosΘ 
Θ = arccos((1-0.29)/1) = 44.77 º

A generator produces 38 mwmw of power and sends it to town at an rms voltage of 78 kvkv. part a what is the rms current in the t
4vir4ik [10]

The rms current in the transmission lines is I = 487.18 A.

The root-imply-rectangular (rms) voltage of a sinusoidal supply of electromotive force  is used to represent the source. it is the rectangular root of the time average of the voltage squared.

Alternating-present day circuits. the root-imply-square (rms) voltage of a sinusoidal source of electromotive force is used to symbolize the supply. it's far the square root of the time average of the voltage squared.

Electric power is  by using present day or the waft of electric fee and voltage or the capacity of rate to deliver electricity. A given cost of power can be produced by using any combination of contemporary and voltage values

power = 38 M watt

rms voltage = 78 K v

power = IV

I = power/V

I = (38 * 1000000)/78*1000

I = 487.18 A.
