The half life of Carbon-14 is 5730 years, how many years would it take for 7/8 of the original amount to decay?
<span>Can somebody please help with this problem. I *think* I understand the basics of what a half life is. If I learned correctly, its the amount it takes for half of a sample to decay. It should also happen exponentially, 1/2 remaining after one half life, 1/4 after the second, 1/16 after the third etc. I'm still a little shaky though. Could somebody please clarify what exactly a half life is and how it can be determined (i.e. how to find the time it would take for 7/8 to decay) </span>
Answer:
B. Transformer
Explanation:
A transformer is a device that is used to either raise or lower voltages and currents in an electrical circuit. In modern electrical distribution systems, transformers are used to boost voltage levels so as to decrease line losses during transmission. It basically trades voltage for current in a circuit, while not affecting the total electrical power. This means it takes high-voltage electricity with a small current and changes it into low-voltage electricity with a large current, or vice versa.
Answer:
Explanation:
When a body is held against a vertical wall , to keep them in balanced position , normal force is applied on their surface . this force creates normal reaction which acts against the normal force and it is equal to the normal force as per newton's third law . Ultimately friction force is created which is proportional to normal force and it acts in vertically upward direction . It prevents the body from falling down .
Hence normal force = reaction force .
From second law also net force is zero , so if normal force is N and reaction force is R
R - N = mass x acceleration = mass x 0 = 0
R = N .
Ranking normal force from highest to smallest
150 N , 130 N , 120 N
B )
Frictional force is equal to the weight of the body because the body is held at rest .
Ranking of frictional force form largest to smallest
7 kg , 5 kg , 3 kg , 1 kg .
Here frictional force is irrespective of the normal force acting on the body because frictional force adjusts itself so that it becomes equal to weight in all cases here because it always balances the weight of the body .
The light coming out of a concave lens will never meet.
So, the answer is A. will never meet.
Happy Studying! ^^
It's b, because the more force an object it is given the harder it will be for it to slow down.
