Answer:

1/8 = (1/2)^3

This implies the sample has decayed for 3 half lives

3 * 5730 yrs = 17,200 years

True or false The momentum of a 100kg object traveling at 3 m/s is 300 N
melomori [17]

Answer:

True

Explanation:

Momentum of an object can be defined as the product of its mass and velocity at which it is travelling. With that in mind, momentum = 3*100=300(kg⋅m/s).

One thing to note is the units mentioned. The SI unit of momentum is kg * m/s as it is the product of mass(kilograms) and velocity(meter per second) and not Newton.

650 N boy and a 419 N girl sit on a 150 N porch swing that is 2.0 m long. If the swing is supported by a chain at each end, what

The tension in the two chains T1 and T2 is 676.65 N and 542.53 N respectively.

<h3>Principle of moments</h3>

The Principle of Moments states that when a body is in equip, the sum of clockwise moment about a point is equal to the sum of anticlockwise moment about the same point.

The formula for calculating moment is given below:

  • Moment = Force × perpendicular distance from the pivot

<h3>Calculating the tension in the chains</h3>

From the principle of moments:

Let tension in chain 1 be T1 and tension in chain 2 be T2.

T1 + T2 = 150 + 650 + 419

T1 + T2 =1219

Taking all distances from chain 1,

Sum of Moments = 0

419 × 0.5 + 150 × 0.85 + 650 × 0.9 = T2 × 1.7

T2 = 922/17

T2 = 542.35 N

Then, T1 = 1219 - 542.35

T1 = 676.65 N

Therefore, the tension in the two chains T1 and T2 is 676.65 N and 542.53 N respectively.

What is the velocity of a wave with a wavelength of 1.5m and a frequency of 500 Hz
Schach [20]
Wave speed  =  (wavelength) x (frequency)

                       = (1.5 m) x (500 / sec)

                       =       750 m/s .
