A fossil mammoth bone was found to contain 6.25% carbon-14 percent isotope and 93.75% nitrogen-14 daughter isotope. If the half-life of carbon-14 is 5700 years old, how old is the mammoth bone?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

The mammoth bone is 22726 years old.

Explanation:

We can find how hold is the mammoth bone using the decay equation:

[tex]N(t) = N_{0}*e^{-\lambda t}[/tex]   (1)

Where:

N(t): is the quantity at time t = 6.25%N₀

N₀: is the initial quantity

λ: is the decay constant

First, we need to find λ:

[tex] \lambda = \frac{ln(2)}{t_{1/2}} = \frac{ln(2)}{5700 y} = 1.22 \cdot 10^{-4} y [/tex]

Now, by solving equation (1) for t we have:

[tex]t = \frac{ln(\frac{N(t)}{N_{0}})}{-\lambda} = \frac{ln(0.0625)}{-1.22 \cdot 10^{-4}} = 22726 y[/tex]      

Therefore, the mammoth bone is 22726 years old.

I hope it helps you!

The flaming gorge bridge, in wyoming rises above a dry gulch. If you throw a rock straight out from the bridge, horizontally, and the rock's horizontal displacement is 255 cm, what was the speed that you thew the rock

Answers

Answer:

12.495m/s

Explanation:

Horizontal displacement is the range of the projectile motion.

The range is expressed as;

R = 2U/g

U is the speed at which the rock is thrown (initial speed)

g is the acceleration due to gravity.

Given

R = 255cm = 2.55m

g = 9.8m/s²

Required

Speed U

Substitute the given parameters into the formula as shown;

2.55 = 2U/9.8

Cross multiply

2U = 2.55×9.8

2U = 24.99

U = 24.99/2

U = 12.495m/s

Hence the speed that you thew the rock is 12.495m/s

A car accelerates uniformly from rest to a final speed of 19 m/s in 10. seconds. How far does it travel during this period of acceleration?

Answers

Answer:

x = 95 [m]

Explanation:

To solve this problem we must use the following equation of kinematics.

[tex]v_{f} =v_{o} +a*t[/tex]

where:

Vf = final velocity = 19 [m/s]

Vo = initial velocity = 0 (starts from the rest)

a = acceleration [m/s²]

t = time = 10 [s]

Now we can find the acceleration

19 = 0 *a*(10)

a = 1.9 [m/s]

With the second equation we can find the distance:

[tex]v_{f} ^{2} =v_{o} ^{2} +(2*a*x)[/tex]

where:

x = distance [m]

(19)² = (0)² + (2*1.9*x)

3.8*x = 361

x = 95 [m]

In a physics lab, students take a long piece of string and cut it into two unequal pieces. One piece is used to suspend a large weight. The second piece is tied to the bottom of the weight as seen in the diagram below. Student 1 predicts that the upper string will always break first since it has to support the weight and the applied force, while Student 2 disagrees and predicts that the shorter piece of string will always break first if you pull slowly but with enough force to exceed the strength of the string.

(a) Which aspect(s) of Student 1’s reasoning, if any, are correct? Explain your answer.


(b) Which aspect(s) of Student 2’s reasoning, if any, are correct? Explain your answer.


(c) Which aspect(s) of both Student 1’s and 2’s reasoning, if any, are incorrect? Explain your answer.

(d) The experiment is performed and both students are surprised to learn that whether
the upper or lower string breaks first depends on whether you pull slowly or with a
sudden pull. Resolve the two lines of reasoning of Student 1 and Student 2 by
explaining the results of the experiment in a clear, concise paragraph.

Answers

Answer:

(a) The aspect of the upper string supporting the weight and the applied force

Student 1 is correct because the upper string is the source of support of the large weight and the force applied to the short string reacts at the support of the long string

(b) The aspect of Student's (2) reasoning that is correct is that the shorter piece of string will always break first, however, the statement is only true for sudden pull due to the increased force experienced by the shorter string from a more rapid change in momentum

(c) The aspect of Student 1's statement that is incorrect is the that the upper string will always break first

The aspect of Student 2's statement that is incorrect is the that the shorter piece of string will always break first

(d) A string will break when subject to a force equivalent to its breaking force. The force experienced by the string increases as the rate of pull (suddenness) increases and the suddenness increases inversely with the length of the string, as such the shorter lower string will break first from a sudden pull before the force of the pull is completely transmitted to the upper string. Whereby the lower string is slowly pulled, the force is evenly transmitted to the upper string which is then taking up the load of the weight and the applied force together and is likely to break first

What are (e) the magnitude and (f) the angle (in the range of (-180°, 180°)) of a fourth vector such that ?

Answers

Answer:

a)   A´= A  

b)   θ₁´ = 29º,  θ₂´ = - 169º ,  θ₃´ = -49º

Explanation:

In this exercise you are asked to give the magnitudes and angles of the vectors from another system of

reference

a) The magnitudes

The magnitude of a vector, the size of which is a scalar, this does not depend on the reference system, since it is obtained by subtracting the coordinates of the end point minus the coordinate of the origin of the vector

          A = [tex]x_{f}[/tex]- x₀

if the vectors are measured in another reference frame

         x_{f}´ = xx_{f}- U

         x₀´ = x₀ -U

where U is the distance between the two reference frames

         A´ = x_{f}´ - x₀´

we substitute

         A´ = (x_{f} - U) - (x₀-U) = x_{f} - x₀

         A´ = A

 it does not change

b) Angles

The given angles are measured from the positive part of the x axis in a counterclockwise direction, it is asked to give these angles from the x axis

     θ₁ = 29º

     does not change

     θ₁´ = 29º

    θ₂ = 191º

   we measure clockwise

     θ₂´ = θ₂ - 360

     θ₂´ = 191 - 360

     θ₂´ = - 169º

     θ₃ =311º

    we measure clockwise

     θ₃´ = 311 -360

     θ₃´ = -49º

Fg sin 36 degrees
Fg cos 36 degrees

Fg x N

Answers

Given :

A box weighing 12,000 N is parked on a 36° slope.

To Find :

What will be the component of the weight parallel to the plane that balances friction.

Solution :

The component of that will be parallel to the plane to balance friction is :

[tex]F \ cos ( 90 - 36)^o\\\\F\ ( sin\ 36^o)[/tex]

Therefore, component of force to balance friction is F sin 36° .

Hence, this is the required solution.

A roller coaster is travelling 1 m/s at the top of the track. At the bottom of the track, 5 seconds later, it is travelling 36 m/s. What is the average acceleration?

7.2 m/s2
0.14 m/s2
36 m/s 2
7 m/s2

Answers

Answer:

7m/s²

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Velocity at the top = 1m/s

Velocity at the bottom  = 36m/s

Time  = 5s

Unknown:

Average acceleration = ?

Solution;

Acceleration is the rate of change of velocity with time. It is expressed as;

  A = [tex]\frac{v -u}{t}[/tex]

v is the velocity at the top

u is the velocity at the bottom

t is the time taken

 Now, insert the parameters and solve;

  A = [tex]\frac{36 - 1}{5}[/tex]   = 7m/s²

The average acceleration will be "7 m/s²".

Given values:

Top velocity,

v = 1 m/s

Bottom velocity,

u = 36 m/s

Time,

t = 5 s

The acceleration is:

→ [tex]A = \frac{v -u}{t}[/tex]

By putting the values,

       [tex]= \frac{36-1}{5}[/tex]

       [tex]= \frac{35}{5}[/tex]

       [tex]= 7 \ m/s^2[/tex]

Thus the answer above i.e., "option d" is correct.

what is the greatest possible magnitude of the other force?

Answers

Given :

Two forces act on a 6.00-kg object. One of the forces is 10.0 N.

Acceleration of object 2 m/s².

To Find :

The greatest possible magnitude of the other force.\

Solution :

Let, other force is f.

So, net force, F = 10 + f.

Now, acceleration is given by :

[tex]a=\dfrac{F}{mass}\\\\a= \dfrac{10+f}{6}\\\\\dfrac{10+f}{6}=2\\\\f = 12 - 10\\\\f = 2 \ N[/tex]

Therefore, the greatest possible magnitude of the other force is 2 N.

Hence, this is the required solution.
