Testing shows that a sample of wood from an artifact contains 50% of the original amount of carbon-14. Given that the half-life of carbon-14 is 5730
years, how old is the artifact?
A. 22,920 years
B. 11,460 years
C. 5730 years
D. 2865 years

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

C. 5730 years

Explanation:

N(t) = N(0)e^-kt

The half-life is T = 5730 years,

e^-kT = 1/2

→ k = - ln(1/2) / T

→ - ln(1/2) / 5730

→ 1.209681 x 10^-4 years^-1

The amount present dropped to 50%.

Then one half-life has elapsed, so the age is 5730 years.

The elastic energy stored in your tendons can contribute up to 35 % of your energy needs when running. Sports scientists have studied the change in length of the knee extensor tendon in sprinters and nonathletes. They find (on average) that the sprinters' tendons stretch 40 mm, while nonathletes' stretch only 32 mm. The spring constant for the tendon is the same for both groups, 32 N/mm. What is the difference in maximum stored energy between the sprinters and the nonathlethes?

Answers

Answer:

Explanation:

From the given information:

The difference in the maximum energy stored is can be determined by finding the difference in the maximum stored energy in the sprinters and that of the non-athlete:

[tex]\Delta U = \dfrac{1}{2}k(x_2^2 - x_1^2)[/tex]

[tex]\Delta U = \dfrac{1}{2} (32 \ N/mm) (\dfrac{1 \ mm}{10^{-3} \ m}) ((40\times 10^{-3})^2 - (32\times 10^{-3})^2)[/tex]

[tex]\Delta U =16000 \times (5.76\times 10^{-4})[/tex]

When a condenser discharges electricity, the instantaneous rate of change of the voltage is proportional to the voltage in the condenser. Suppose you have a discharging condenser and the instantaneous rate of change of the voltage is -0.01 of the voltage (in volts per second). How many seconds does it take for the voltage to decrease by 90 %?

Answers

Answer:

460.52 s

Explanation:

Since the instantaneous rate of change of the voltage is proportional to the voltage in the condenser, we have that

dV/dt ∝ V

dV/dt = kV

separating the variables, we have

dV/V = kdt

integrating both sides, we have

∫dV/V = ∫kdt

㏑(V/V₀) = kt

V/V₀ = [tex]e^{kt}[/tex]

Since the instantaneous rate of change of the voltage is -0.01 of the voltage dV/dt = -0.01V

Since dV/dt = kV

-0.01V = kV

k = -0.01

So, V/V₀ = [tex]e^{-0.01t}[/tex]

V = V₀[tex]e^{-0.01t}[/tex]

Given that the voltage decreases by 90 %, we have that the remaining voltage (100 % - 90%)V₀ = 10%V₀ = 0.1V₀

So, V = 0.1V₀

Thus

V = V₀[tex]e^{-0.01t}[/tex]

0.1V₀ = V₀[tex]e^{-0.01t}[/tex]

0.1V₀/V₀ = [tex]e^{-0.01t}[/tex]

0.1 = [tex]e^{-0.01t}[/tex]

to find the time, t it takes the voltage to decrease by 90%, we taking natural logarithm of both sides, we have

㏑(0.01) = -0.01t

So, t = ㏑(0.01)/-0.01

t = -4.6052/-0.01

t = 460.52 s

A rock is thrown from the top of a building 146 m high, with a speed of 14 m/s at an angle 43 degrees above the horizontal. When it hits the ground, what is the magnitude of its velocity (i.e. its speed).

Answers

Answer:

time is 32 s and speed is 304.3 m/s

Explanation:

Height, h = 146 m

speed, u = 14 m/s

Angle, A = 43 degree

Let it hits the ground after time t.

Use second equation of motion

[tex]h = u t +0.5 at^2\\\\- 146 =14 sin 43 t - 4.9 t^2\\\\4.9 t^2 - 9.5 t - 146 =0 \\\\t =\frac{9.5\pm\sqrt {90.25 + 2861.6}}{9.8}\\\\t=\frac{9.5\pm 54.3}{9.8}\\\\t = 32.05 s, - 22.4 s[/tex]

Time cannot be negative so the time is t = 32 s .

The vertical velocity at the time of strike is  

v' =  u sin A - g t

v' = 14 sin 43 - 9.8 x 32 = 9.5 - 313.6 = - 304.1 m/s

horizontal velocity

v'' = 14 cos 43 =10.3 m/s

The resultant velocity at the time of strike is

[tex]v=\sqrt{v'^2 + v''^2}\\\\v = \sqrt{304.1^2 +10.3^2 }\\\\v = 304.3 m/s[/tex]  

A 7.5-kg rock and a 8.9 × 10-4-kg pebble are held near the surface of the earth. (a) Determine the magnitude of the gravitational force exerted on each by the earth. (b) Calculate the magnitude of the acceleration of each object when released.

Answers

Answer:

F' = 73.7 N

F = 8.749×10⁻³ N

a' = a =  9.83 m/s²

Explanation:

(a)

For the rock

Applying

F' = Gm'm/r²................... Equation 1

Where F = magnitude of the gravitational force on the rock, G = Gravitational constant, m' = mass of the rock, m = mass of the earth, r = radius of the earth.

From the question,

Given: m' = 7.5 kg

Constant: m = 5.98×10²⁴ kg, G = 6.67×10⁻¹¹ Nm²/kg², r = 6.37×10⁶ m

Substitute these values into equation 1

F' = 6.67×10⁻¹¹ (7.5)(5.98×10²⁴)/(6.37×10⁶)²

F' = 7.37×10¹ N

F' = 73.7 N

Also, For the pebble,

F = GMm/r².............. Equation 2

Where M = mass of the pebble, F = Gravitational force exerted on the pebble by the earth

Given: M = 8.9×10⁻⁴ kg,

Substitute into equation 2

F = 6.67×10⁻¹¹(8.9×10⁻⁴)(5.98×10²⁴)/(6.37×10⁶)²

F = 8.749×10⁻³ N

(b)

For the rock,

a' = F'/m'

Where a' = magnitude of the acceleration of the rock

a' = 73.7/7.5

a' = 9.83 m/s²

For the pebble,

a = F/M

Where a = acceleration of the pebble

a = (8.749×10⁻³)/(8.9×10⁻⁴)

a = 9.83 m/s²

a) Determine the acceleration of the object. [5]
b) How far does the object travel during the first 25 seconds? [3]
c) What is the average velocity of the object during the first 25 seconds?

Answers

Answer:

A. 1 m/s²

B. 312.5 m

C. 12.5 m/s

Explanation:

We'll begin by converting the velocity i.e 90 Km/h to m/s. This can be obtained as follow:

Velocity (Km/h) = 90 Km/h

Velocity (m/s) =?

Velocity (m/s) = Velocity (Km/h) × 1000 / 3600

Velocity (m/s) = 90 × 1000 / 3600

Velocity (m/s) = 90000 / 3600

Velocity (m/s) = 25 m/s

A. Determination of the acceleration.

Initial velocity (u) = 0 m/s

Final velocity (v) = 25 m/s

Time (t) = 25 s

Acceleration (a) =?

v = u + at

25 = 0 + (a × 25)

25 = 0 + 25a

25 = 25a

Divide both side by 25

a = 25/25

a = 1 m/s²

B. Determination of the distance travelled.

Initial velocity (u) = 0 m/s

Final velocity (v) = 25 m/s

Acceleration (a) = 1 m/s²

Distance travelled (s) =?

v² = u² + 2as

25² = 0 + (2 × 1 × s)

625 = 0 + 2s

625 = 2s

Divide both side by 2

s = 625 / 2

s = 312.5 m

C. Determination of the average velocity.

Total distance travelled = 312.5 m

Total time = 25 s

Average velocity =?

Average velocity = Total distance / total time

Average velocity = 312.5 / 25

Average velocity = 12.5 m/s

An electric drill starts from rest and rotates with a constant angular acceleration. After the drill has rotated through a certain angle, the magnitude of the centripetal acceleration of a point on the drill is 8.2 times the magnitude of the tangential acceleration. What is the angle?

Answers

Answer:

The angle is 4.1 rad.

         

Explanation:

The centripetal acceleration (α) is given by:

[tex] \alpha = \omega^{2} r [/tex]    (1)                  

Where:

ω: is the angular velocity  

r: is the radius

And the tangential acceleration (a) is:                      

[tex] a = \alpha r [/tex]      (2)

Since the magnitude of "α" is 8.2 times the magnitude of "a" (equating (2) and (1)) we have:

[tex] \omega^{2} r = 8.2\alpha r   [/tex]

[tex] \omega^{2} = 8.2\alpha [/tex]    (3)      

Now, we can find the angle with the following equation:

[tex] \omega_{f}^{2} = \omega_{0}^{2} + 2\alpha \Delta \theta [/tex]

Where:

[tex] \omega_{f}[/tex]: is the final angular velocity                                                                              [tex] \omega_{0}[/tex]: is the initial angular velocity = 0 (it starts from rest)

[tex]\Delta \theta[/tex]: is the angle

[tex] \omega^{2} = 2\alpha \Delta \theta [/tex]     (4)    

By entering equation (3) into (4) we can calculate the angle:

[tex] 8.2\alpha = 2\alpha \Delta \theta [/tex]

[tex] \Delta \theta = 4.1 rad [/tex]

Therefore, the angle is 4.1 rad.

I hope it helps you!                  

A ball is thrown horizontally from the top of a building 59 m high. The ball strikes the ground at a point 65 m horizontally away from and below the point of release. What is the speed of the ball just before it strikes the ground

Answers

Answer:

Explanation:

We are looking for final velocity. Since the ball is thrown horizontally, there is no upwards velocity, so the y dimension here is only useful to us for finding how long the ball was in the air. In the y dimension, here's what we know:

a = -9.8 m/s/s

Δx = -59 m

[tex]v_0=0[/tex] (again, initial upwards velocity is 0 because the ball was thrown horizontally)

We can put all that together in the equation:

Δx = [tex]v_0t+\frac{1}{2}at^2[/tex] and filling in:

[tex]-59=0t+\frac{1}{2}(-9.8)t^2[/tex] which simplifies to

[tex]-59=\frac{1}{2}(-9.8)t^2[/tex] and solving for t:

[tex]t=\sqrt{\frac{2(-59)}{-9.8} }[/tex] and

t = 3.5 sec

Now we can use that time in the d = rt equation, which is all we need for the horizontal dimension (I'll show you why in just a second). In the horizontal dimension, here's what we know:

a = 0 m/s/s

Δx = 65 m

t = 3.5 sec

Putting that all together in our one-dimensional equation for displacement:

Δx = [tex]v_0t+\frac{1}{2}at^2[/tex] and acceleration is 0, we can simplify that down to

Δx = [tex]v_0t[/tex] which is the exact same thing as d = rt where r is the velocity we are looking for. Filling in:

65 = v(3.5) so

v = 18.6 m/s

That's the velocity with which the ball strikes the ground.

Answer:

Δd = 7.22 10⁻² m

Explanation:

For this exercise we must use the dispersion relationship of a diffraction grating

           d sin θ = m λ

let's use trigonometry

           tan θ = y / L

     

how the angles are small

           tant θ = sinθ  /cos θ = sin θ

we substitute  

           sin θ = y / L

          d y / L = m λ

          y = m λ L / d

let's use direct ruler rule to find the distance between two slits

           

If there are 500 lines in 1 me, what distance is there between two lines

         d = 2/500

        d = 0.004 me = 4 10⁻⁶ m

diffraction gratings are built so that most of the energy is in the first order of diffraction m = 1

let's calculate for each wavelength

λ = 656 nm = 656 10⁻⁹ m

         d₁ = 1 656 10⁻⁹ 1.7 / 4 10⁻⁶

         d₁ = 2.788 10⁻¹ m

λ = 486 nm = 486 10⁻⁹ m

         d₂ = 1 486 10⁻⁹ 1.7 / 4 10⁻⁶

         d₂ = 2.066 10⁻¹ m

the distance between the two lines is

         Δd = d1 -d2

         Δd = (2,788 - 2,066) 10⁻¹

         Δd = 7.22 10⁻² m

An insulated tank contains 50 kg of water, which is stirred by a paddle wheel at 300 rpm while transmitting a torque of 0.1 kN-m. At the same time, an electric resistance heater inside the tank operates at 110 V, drawing a current of 2 A. Determine the rate of heat transfer after the system achieves steady state.

Answers

Answer:

the rate of heat transfer after the system achieves steady state is -3.36 kW

Explanation:

Given the data in the question;

mass of water m = 50 kg

N = 300 rpm

Torque T = 0.1 kNm

V = 110 V

I = 2 A

Electric work supplied W₁ = PV = 2 × 110 = 220 W = 0.22 kW

Now, work supplied by paddle wheel W₂ is;

W₂ = 2πNT/60

W₂ = (2π × 0.1 × 300) / 60

W₂ = 188.495559 / 60

W₂ = 3.14 kW

So the total work will be;

W = 0.22 + 3.14

W = 3.36 kW

Hence total work done on the system is 3.36 kW.

At steady state, the properties of the system does not change so the heat transfer will be 3.36 KW.

The heat will be rejected by the system so the sign of heat will be negative.

i.e Q = -3.36 kW

Therefore,  the rate of heat transfer after the system achieves steady state is -3.36 kW
