Is a force necessary to keep an object in motion?

Physics

5 0
Well according to Newton’s first law of motion, a body will remain in the state of rest or linear motion provided that an *external force* has been applied. So no, a force doesn’t need to keep a body to remain in linear motion, because F=ma, during uniform linear motion velocity is constant, hence acceleration is zero, so F=0

The ratio of carbon-14 to nitrogen-14 is an artifact is 1:3. Given that half-life of carbon-14 is 5730years, how old is the arti
dusya [7]

Answer:

9155 years old

Explanation:

We use the following expression for the decay of a substance:

N = N_0\,\,e^{-k*t}

So we first estimate the value of k knowing that the half-life of the C14 is 5730 years:

N = N_0\,\,e^{-k*t}\\N_0/2=N_0\,\,e^{-k*5730}\\1/2 = e^{-k*5730}\\ln(1/2)=-k*5730\\k= 0.00012

so, now we can estimate the age of the artifact by solving for"t" in the equation:

1/3=e^{-0.00012*t}\\ln(1/3)= -0.00012*t\\t=9155. 102

which we can round to 9155 years old.

The speed of light inside a medium is (2.0 x 10^8m/s) What is the index of refraction (n) of the medium?
kondor19780726 [428]

Answer:

Refractive index of a medium = Speed of light in vacuum/Speed of light in a medium

1.5 = 3 x 108 / Speed of light in medium

Speed of light in the medium = 3 x 108 /1.5

= 2 x 108 m/s.
