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.

The reflective surface of a CD consists of spirals of equally spaced grooves. If you shine a laser pointer on a CD, each groove
Ipatiy [6.2K]

Answer:

d = 1.55 * 10⁻⁶ m

Explanation:

To calculate the distance between the adjacent grooves of the CD, use the formula, d = \frac{m \lambda}{sin(A_{m}) }..........(1)

The fringe number, m = 1 since it is a first order maximum

The wavelength of the green laser pointer, \lambda = 532 nm = 532 * 10⁻⁹ m

Distance between the central maximum and the first order maximum = 1.1 m

Distance between the screen and the CD = 3 m

A_{m} = Angle between the incident light and the diffracted light

From the setup shown in the attachment, it is a right angled triangle in which

sin(A_{m}) = \frac{opposite}{Hypotenuse} \\sin(A_{m}) =\frac{1.1}{\sqrt{1.1^{2}+3^{2}}}

sin(A_{m} ) = 0.344\\A_{m} = sin^{-1} 0.344\\A_{m} = 20.14^{0}

Putting all appropriate values into equation (1)

d = \frac{1* 532*10^{-9} }{0.344 }\\d = 0.00000155 m\\d = 1.55 * 10^{-6} m

Acceleration occurs whenever an ___________________ force acts on an object.
leonid [27]
Acceleration occurs whenever the forces on an object are unbalanced.

It's the group of forces on the object that's either balanced or unbalanced.
There's no such thing as "an unbalanced force".

A system consists of three particles with these masses and velocities: mass 3.00 kg, moving north at 3.00 m/s; mass 4.00 kg, mov
lions [1.4K]

Answer:

the total momentum is 8 .2 kg m/s in north direction.

Explanation:

given,

mass(m₁) 3.00 kg, moving north at v₁ = 3.00 m/s

mass(m₂) 4.00 kg, moving south at v₂ =  3.70 m/s

mass(m₃) 7.00 kg, moving north at v₃ = 2.00 m/s

north as the positive axis

south as the negative axis

now

total momentum = m₁v₁ + m₂ v₂ + m₃ v₃

total momentum = 3 x 3 - 4 x 3.7 + 7 x 2

                           = 9 - 14.8 + 14

                           = 8 .2 kg m/s

hence, the total momentum is 8 .2 kg m/s in north direction.

A particle starts from rest and has an acceleration function 5 − 10t m/s2 . (a) What is the velocity function? (b) What is the p
frez [133]

Explanation:

It is given that,

A particle starts from rest and has an acceleration function as :

a(t)=(5-10t)\ m/s^2

(a) Since, a=\dfrac{dv}{dt}

v = velocity

dv=a.dt

v=\int(a.dt)

v=\int(5-10t)(dt)

v=5t-\dfrac{10t^2}{2}=5t-5t^2

(b) v=\dfrac{dx}{dt}

x = position

x=\int v.dt

x=\int (5t-5t^2)dt

x=\dfrac{5}{2}t^2-\dfrac{5}{3}t^3

(c) Velocity function is given by :

v=5t-5t^2

5t-5t^2=0

t = 1 seconds

So, at t = 1 second the velocity of the particle is zero.

Classify the quadrilateral. parallel sides are indicated with arrows.
Sonbull [250]
A quadrilateral is a four-sided polygon that may be classified as: trapezoid, rectangle, square, rhombus, etc. This classification is based on the measurement of the four angles, the four sides, and their being parallel. Unfortunately though, I think you missed to include here the diagram that we are about to classify.
