<h3><u>Answer;</u></h3>

A train will take longer time to stop compared to a car.

<h3><u>Explanation;</u></h3>
  • For a body in motion to stop a braking force at a given distance is required for the body to loose kinetic energy.
  • The the stopping distance of a car depends on the breaking force and the  the mass of the moving body. The stopping distance will depend on the kinetic energy and the breaking force acting to stop the motion of  a body.
  • <em><u>The mass of a moving body determines its kinetic energy, and also determines the resultant force according to the newton seconds law of motion . Therefore, mass determines the breaking force and the stopping distance, such that a big body in motion will require more force to stop and will take a longer stopping distance and time.</u></em>

Carbon-14 has a half-life of 5,730 years. if the age of an object older than 50,000 years cannot be determined by radiocarbon da
Aleonysh [2.5K]
<h3><u>Answer;</u></h3>

Carbon-14 levels in a sample are undetectable after approximately 9 half lives

<h3><u>Explanation;</u></h3>
  • <em><u>The half life of Carbon-14 is 5,730 years . Half life is the time taken by a radioactive material to decay by half of its original mass.  Therefore, it  would take a time of 5730 years for a sample of 100 g of carbon-14 to decay to 50 grams</u></em>
  • <em><u>A period of 50,000 years, is equivalent to; </u></em>

<em><u>  50,000÷5,730 </u></em>

<em><u>= 8.73 half lives</u></em>

<em>Which is approximately equal to 9 half lives.</em>

  • Therefore, if the age of an object older than 50,000 years cannot be determined by radiocarbon dating, then <em><u>Carbon-14 levels in a sample are undetectable after approximately 9 half lives</u></em>.

The power of a lens is 4. 0 diopters and its diameter is 5. 0 cm. what is the focal length of this lens?
fenix001 [56]

The focal length of the lens is 25cm

given:

power,p=4 diopters

what is focal length?

Focal length is the distance between the point of convergence of your lens and the sensor or film recording the image.

what is diopter?

The unit of optical power of lens is called diopter.It is the optical power of the lens.

we know,

p=1/f

where,

p= power

f= focal length

f=1/p

f=1/4

=0.25m

=25cm

Thus,the focal length of the lens is 25cm

Compare and contrast how sound waves behave when they
Ghella [55]

Answer:

As sound waves move (or more accurately, when they travel by transferring their energy) they interact with physical objects. Soft surfaces will absorb sound while hard surfaces will reflect it. .Hard surfaces reflect sound and soft surfaces absorb sound.

The convex mirror has a reflecting surface that curves outward, resembling a portion of the exterior of a sphere. Light rays parallel to the optical axis are reflected from the surface in a direction that diverges from the focal point, which is behind the mirror

A bullet of 5 gm is fired from a pistol of 1.5 kg. If the recoil velocity of pistol is 1.5 m/s,
Andreyy89

Answer:

-450 m/s

Explanation:

Momentum is conserved.

p₀ = p

0 = (1.5 kg) (1.5 m/s) + (0.005 kg) v

v = -450 m/s
