Answer:

1/8 = (1/2)^3

This implies the sample has decayed for 3 half lives

3 * 5730 yrs = 17,200 years

Kay [80]
<span>Poet Kuangchi Chang did not remain in China long enough to be "re-educated." Following the Communist takeover he fled to the United States. His poem "Garden of My Childhood" describes China before the revolution as a peaceful, idyllic garden with a violent horde rapidly approaching. A vine, the wind, and the sea are each personified, and each beckons for him to run. It is not until "eons later," when he is "worlds away," that his "running is all done," and he finds himself at his destination: another garden, just like the one he had left behind.</span>

A tennis player tosses a tennis ball straight up and then catches it after 2.07 s at the same height as the point of release.
prisoha [69]

(a) The ball will accelerate at a speed of 9.81 m/s² while it is in flight.

(b) The ball will be moving at a speed of 0 m/sec when it reaches its highest point.

(c) The ball's initial upward velocity is 20.30 m/s.

(d) It will reach a maximum height of 21.0 m.

<h3 /><h3>What is speed?</h3>

Speed is defined as the change in distance with regard to time. A scalar quantity, speed. It is a temporal element, m/sec is its unit.

The information provided in the issue is;

u is the fall's beginning speed in m/sec;

h is the fall's distance

g is the fall's acceleration or 9.81 m/sec²

a. The ball's speed while in flight is equal to the acceleration caused by gravity, which is 9.81 m/s².

b. When the ball reaches its highest point, its velocity will be zero.

c. The ball's starting velocity is;

v=u-gt

0=u-gt

u=gt

u=9.81 m/s² × 2.07 sec

u=20.30 m/s

d. The formula is used to determine the highest height it can reach.

\rm u^2 = - 2gh \\\\ (20.30)^2 = -2 \times (-9.8) \times h \\\\ 412.09  = 19.6 \times h\\\\ h = 412.09/19.6\\\\ h = 21.00 m

As a result, the ball's greatest height, beginning velocity, and acceleration are all 9.81 meters per second, zero meters per second, 20.30 meters per second, and 21 meters accordingly.
