A radio wave travels 186,000 miles per second. How many kilometers will the wave travel in one microsecond? (1 mile = 1.61 km)

1 answer:

6 0

1) 1 second = 1000000 microseconds

2) 186000 / 1.61 = 115527.9503 Km

3) We use the equation:
Speed = distance / time

4) rearrange for distance by multiplying both sides by time to get;

Distance = speed x time

5) plug in the values:

Distance = 115527.9503 x 0.000001
= 0.1155279503 Km

The age of fossils can sometimes be determined by radiometric dating, which is based on the constant rate of decay of radioactiv

True [87]

The age of the fossil given the present amount of Carbon-14 is given in the equation,
A(t) = A(o)(0.5)^t/h
where A(t) is the current amount, A(o) is the initial amount, t is time and h is the half-life. Substituting the known values to the equation,
A(t) / A(o) = 0.125 = (0.5)^(t/5730)
The value of t from the equation is 17190.
Thus, the age of the fossil is mostly likely to be 17190 years old.

Convert 7.50 mol of Li₂O to grams

Natali5045456 [20]

Answer:

223.5 g

Explanation:

The formula between the number of moles, mass and Mr can be used to convert moles to grams.

<em>Number of moles = mass ÷ Mr</em>

So, mass = number of moles × Mr

Mr of Li₂O = (6.9 × 2) + 16 = 29.8

∴ Mass = 7.5 × 29.8 = <u>223.5 g</u>

What is the acceleration of a 50kg object pushed with a force of 500 Newton’s

olasank [31]

Answer:

Explanation:

The acceleration of an object given it's mass and the force acting on it can be found by using the formula

$a = \frac{f}{m} \\$

f is the force

m is the mass

From the question we have

$a = \frac{500}{50} = \frac{50}{5} = 10 \\$

We have the final answer as

Hope this helps you
