From reliable sources in the internet, the half-live of carbon-14 is given to be 5,730 years. In a span of 10,000 to 12,000 years, there are almost or little more than 2 half-lives. Thus, there should be
A(t) = A(0)(1/2)^t
where t is the number of half-lives, in this case 2. Thus, only about 1/4 of the original amount will be left.
I would say Option B) because Option C) is wrong since matter cannot be created. A closed system does not exchange matter so it's not Option D). Since an island is an isolated area, Option A) is wrong.
Water and baking soda can be used, too.
The change in potential energy when the block falls to ground is -480J.
The maximum change in kinetic energy of the ball is 480 J.
The initial kinetic energy of the ball is 0 J.
The final kinetic energy of the ball is 0.148J.
The initial potential energy of the ball is 0.187 J.
The final potential energy of the ball is 0 J.
The work done by the air resistance is 0.039 J.
<h3>Change in potential energy when the block falls to ground</h3>
ΔP.E = -mgh
ΔP.E = -Wh
ΔP.E = - 40 x 12
ΔP.E = -480 J
<h3>Maximum change in kinetic energy of the ball</h3>
ΔK.E = - ΔP.E
ΔK.E = - (-480 J)
ΔK.E = 480 J
<h3>Initial kinetic energy of the ball</h3>
K.Ei = 0.5mv²
where;
- v is zero since it is initially at rest
K.Ei = 0.5m(0) = 0
<h3>Final kinetic energy</h3>
K.Ef = 0.5mv²
K.Ef = 0.5(0.0091)(5.7)²
K.Ef = 0.148 J
<h3>Initial potential energy of the ball</h3>
P.Ei = mghi
P.Ei = 0.0091 x 9.8 x 2.1
P.Ei = 0.187 J
<h3>Final potential energy</h3>
P.Ef = mghf
P.Ef = 0.0091 x 9.8 x 0
P.Ef = 0
<h3>Work done by the air resistance</h3>
W = ΔE
W = P.E - K.E
W = 0.187 J - 0.148 J
W = 0.039 J
