Radioactive isotopes can be used to find the age of rocks, fossils, or other artifacts. Carbon-14 has a half-life of 5,730 years

. Suppose a sample of charcoal from a primitive fire pit contains one eighth of its original amount of carbon-14. How old is the sample?

8 0

Answer:

1/8 = (1/2)^3

This implies the sample has decayed for 3 half lives

3 * 5730 yrs = 17,200 years

A 1000-kg car traveling at 70 m/s takes 3 m to stop under full braking. the same car under similar road conditions, traveling at
azamat
We assume a=const (acceleration is constant. We apply the equation
v^2=v0^2+2as where s is the distance to stop v=0(m/s). We find the acceleration from this equation
a=-v0^2/(2s)=-70^2/(2*3) =-816.7 (m/s^2)

We know the acceleration, thus we find the distance necesssary to stop when initial speed is v=140 (m/s)
s=-v0^2/(2a) =140^2/(2*816.7)=12 (m)

What is carnot engine.express the relation for its efficiency?​
patriot [66]

Answer:

Explanation:

The Carnot cycle is a special case of a thermodynamic cycle that produces an ideal gas and consists of two isothermal  processes and two adiabatic processes. This cycle is a theoretical solution given by Sadi Karnot to refine heat engines for their efficient use.

The formula for the coefficient of efficiency is:

η = (Q₁ - Q₂) / Q₁ = (T₁ - T₂) / T₁

Where Q₁ is is the amount of heat of the heater supplied to the working body and Q₂ is the amount of heat that the working body transfers to the refrigerator according to this T₁ is the temperature of the heater T₂ is the temperature of the refrigerator.

This formula provides a theoretical limit for the maximum value of the coefficient of efficiency of heat engines.

telo118 [61]

Answer:

  I₂ = 8 mG

Explanation:

The intensity of a beam is

          I = P / A

Where P is the emitted power which is 3) 3

           

Let's use index 1 for the initial position of r₁ = 6 ft and 2 for the second position r₂ = 3 ft

          I₁ A₁  = I₂  A₂

           I₂ = I₁ A₁ / A₂

The area of ​​the beam if we assume that it is distributed either in the form of a sphere is

           A₁ = 4π r²

We substitute

            I₂ = I₁ (r₁ / r₂)²

           I₂ = 2 (6/3)²

           I₂ = 2 4

           I₂ = 8 mG
