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 wave in the ocean has an amplitude of 3m. Winds pick up suddenly, increasing the wave's amplitude to 6m. How does this change
Paha777 [63]

Answer

Hi,

An increase in amplitude from 3m to 6 m increases the energy it transports. The frequency of the wave is not affected

Explanation

Amplitude is the height of a wave where as frequency is the number of waves that pass by each second. A wave with bigger amplitude has more energy than a wave with smaller amplitude. A point where more waves pass contains more energy that is transferred every second. The change in the amplitude of a wave does not change its frequency. However, frequency is inversely related to the wavelength of a wave.

Best Wishes!

What is the wavelength associated with an electron with a velocity of 4.8X10s m/s? (Mass of the electron is 9.1X10-31kg)?
amid [387]

Answer:

1.52 nm

Explanation:

Using the De Broglie wavelength equation,

λ = h/p where λ = wavelength associated with electron, h = Planck's constant = 6.63 × 10⁻³⁴ Js and p = momentum of electron = mv where m = mass of electron = 9.1 × 10⁻³¹ kg and v = velocity of electron = 4.8 × 10⁵ m/s

So, λ = h/p

λ = h/mv

substituting the values of the variables into the equation, we have

λ = h/mv

λ = 6.63 × 10⁻³⁴ Js/(9.1 × 10⁻³¹ kg × 4.8 × 10⁵ m/s)

λ = 6.63 × 10⁻³⁴ Js/(43.68 × 10⁻²⁶ kgm/s)

λ = 0.1518 × 10⁻⁸ m

λ = 1.518 × 10⁻⁹ m

λ = 1.518 nm

λ ≅ 1.52 nm

The length of a simple pendulum is 0.66 m, the pendulum bob has a mass of 310 grams, and it is released at an angle of 12 degree
lina2011 [118]
A) the periodic time is given by the equation;
 T= 2π√(L/g)
For the frequency will be obtained by 1/T (Hz)
T = 2 × 3.14 √ (0.66/9.81)
   = 6.28 × √0.0673
    = 1.6289 Seconds
Frequency = 1/T = f = 1/1.6289
 thus; frequency = 0.614 Hz

b)  The vertical distance, the height is given by
 h= 0.66 cos 12
 h = 0.65 m
Vertical fall at the lowest point = 0.66 - 0.65 = 0.01 m
Applying conservation of energy
energy lost (MgΔh) = KE gained (1/2mv²)
 mgh = 1/2mv²
  v² = 2gΔh = 2×9.81 × 0.01 
                   = 0.1962
v = 0.443 m/s

c) total energy = KE + GPE = KE when GPE is equal to zero (at the lowest point possible)
Thus total energy is equal to;
E = 1/2mv²
   = 1/2 × 0.310 × 0.443²
   = 0.0304 J
