Answer:

potential energy = mgh

= 400÷1000 × 10× 4÷100

= 0.4 × 10 × 0.04

=4/10 ×10×4/100

= 4/10 × 4/10

=16/100

= 0.16 joules

m1 (400) stretches 4cm

m1 (100g) stretches 1cm

so, m2(800g) stretches 8 cm

potential energy of m2 = mgh

= 800/1000 ×10×8/100

= 0.8 × 0.8

=8/10 ×8/10

= 64/100

=0.64 joules

Ratio of s1 to s2

16/100 ÷ 64/100

= 1:4 ( answer)

Carbon-14 has a half-life of 5,700 years. How long will it take for 6.25% of the Carbon-14 to be remaining?
IRISSAK [1]

Answer:

22,800 years

Explanation:

Half life equation:

A = A₀ (½)^(t / T)

where A is the final amount,

A₀ is the initial amount,

t is time,

and T is the half life.

0.0625 = (½)^(t / 5700)

log 0.0625 = (t / 5700) log 0.5

4 = t / 5700

t = 22,800

It takes 22,800 years.

State one use and one disadvantage of the expansion of materials when they are heated.
Reil [10]

An example of the use of expansion of materials when they are heated is in

Thermometers. Thermometer is an instrument which is used to measure the

temperature of a place.

It contains mercury which expands as temperature increases. This is used

to accurately determine the temperature of an object.

The disadvantage of expansion of materials when they are heated can be

seen in roads as there is expansion of the surface as a result of heat

exposure leads to roads being rough thereby incurring more costs for

repairs.
