Answer: The trip takes 
Explanation:
Velocity 
is the variation of the position of a body (distance traveled 
) with time 
:
In this case, the car travels a distance 
at a velocity 
and we need to find the time it takes the trip.
Isolating :
Finally:
Answer:
The unit is the barn, which is equal to 10-28 m^2 or 10-24 cm^2
Explanation:
The standard unit for measuring a nuclear cross section (denoted as σ)
Answer:
8. 2.75·10^-4 s^-1
9. No, too much of the carbon-14 would have decayed for radiation to be detected.
Explanation:
8. The half-life of 42 minutes is 2520 seconds, so you have ...
1/2 = e^(-λt) = e^(-(2520 s)λ)
ln(1/2) = -(2520 s)λ
-ln(1/2)/(2520 s) = λ ≈ 2.75×10^-4 s^-1
___
9. Reference material on carbon-14 dating suggests the method is not useful for time periods greater than about 50,000 years. The half-life of C-14 is about 5730 years, so at 65 million years, about ...
6.5·10^7/5.73·10^3 ≈ 11344
half-lives will have passed. Whatever carbon 14 may have existed at the time will have decayed completely to nothing after that many half-lives.
Answer:
A. Materials with a low index of refraction cause light to refract very little.
Velocity is about direction traveled in comparison to speed which is just distance with out direction
