Answer:

B. 17,190 (A P E X)

Explanation:

If the half-life of carbon-14 is 5730 years then for every 5730 years the original amount of the carbon-14 is cut in half. So if it originally started at 100% when it was new then in 5730 years it would drop to 50%. After that, every 5730 years it drops to 25% and then 12.5% and so on.

A 5.75 mm high firefly sits on the axis of, and 11.3 cm in front of, the thin lens A, whose focal length is 5.77 cm . Behind len
weeeeeb [17]

Answer

given,

focal length of lens A = 5.77 cm

focal length of lens B= 27.9 cm

flies distance from mirror = 11.3 m

now,

Using lens formula

\dfrac{1}{f} = \dfrac{1}{p} + \dfrac{1}{q}

\dfrac{1}{5.77} = \dfrac{1}{11.3} + \dfrac{1}{q}

q =11.79 cm

image of lens A is object of lens B

distance of lens = 59.9 - 11.79 = 48.11

now, Again applying lens formula

\dfrac{1}{f} = \dfrac{1}{p} + \dfrac{1}{q'}

\dfrac{1}{27.9} = \dfrac{1}{48.11} + \dfrac{1}{q'}

q' =66.41 cm

hence, the image distance from the second lens is equal to q' =66.41 cm

What causes an object to move, change direction or change speed?
Wittaler [7]
I believe it would be an unbalanced force. Because the forces are unbalanced, one side is stronger and, therefore, the object will move.

The gauge pressure in the tires of your car is 210 kPa (30.5 psi) when the temperature is 25°C (77 °F). Several days later it is
DaniilM [7]

Under the assumption that the tires do not change in volume, apply Gay-Lussac's law:

P/T = const.

P = pressure, T = temperature, the quotient of P/T must stay constant.

Initial P and T values:

P = 210kPa + 101.325kPa

P = 311.325kPa (add 101.325 to change gauge pressure to absolute pressure)

T = 25°C = 298.15K

Final P and T values:

P = ?, T = 0°C = 273.15K

Set the initial and final P/T values equal to each other and solve for the final P:

311.325/298.15 = P/273.15

P = 285.220kPa

Subtract 101.325kPa to find the final gauge pressure:

285.220kPa - 101.325kPa = 183.895271kPa

The final gauge pressure is 184kPa or 26.7psi.
