Select the correct answer.

What two aspects of a force do scientists measure?

soldier1979 [14.2K]

Yo sup??

Force is a vector quantity therefore it has both direction and magnitude.

Hence scientists measure magnitude and direction of a force.

Correct answer is option A

Hope this helps

The half-life for the radioactive decay of C-14C-14 is 5730 years. You may want to reference (Pages 598 - 605) Section 14.5 whil

KIM [24]

<u>Answer:</u> The sample of Carbon-14 isotope will take 2377.9 years to decay it to 25 %

<u>Explanation:</u>

The equation used to calculate rate constant from given half life for first order kinetics:

$t_{1/2}=\frac{0.693}{k}$

where,

$t_{1/2}$ = half life of the reaction = 5730 years

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$k=\frac{0.693}{5730yrs}=1.21\times 10^{-4}yrs^{-1}$

Rate law expression for first order kinetics is given by the equation:

$k=\frac{2.303}{t}\log\frac{[A_o]}{[A]}$

where,

k = rate constant = $1.21\times 10^{-4}yr^{-1}$

t = time taken for decay process = ? yr

$[A_o]$ = initial amount of the sample = 100 grams

[A] = amount left after decay process = (100 - 25) = 75 grams

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$1.21\times 10^{-4}=\frac{2.303}{t}\log\frac{100}{75}\\\\t=2377.9yrs$

Hence, the sample of Carbon-14 isotope will take 2377.9 years to decay it to 25 %

What is pressure in relation to a gas?

labwork [276]

The pressure of a gas is the force that a gas exerts per unit area of the container.

Pressure is defined as force per unit area. Gas molecules are constantly colliding against the walls of the container. The pressure of the gas is the force the gas is exerting on its container.

Since temperature is defined as the average kinetic energy of the molecules of a gas then the higher the temperature, the faster the particles move.

The volume of a container refers the size if the container.

The pressure of a gas is inversely proportional to its volume according to Boyle's law. Thus implies that if the pressure of the gas goes up, the volume has to go down.

For a compound to be called an acid, it must contain H+ and H3O+ when dissolved in water.

For a compound to be called a base, the compound must dissolve in water to yield hydroxide ions.

If a system performs 147 kJ of work while receiving 47 kJ of heat, what is change in its internal energy?

Verdich [7]

Answer:

-100 kJ

Explanation:

We can solve this problem by applying the first law of thermodynamics, which states that:

$\Delta U = Q-W$
