Suppose that an Egyptian farmer claims to have discovered a linen burial cloth used during Egypt's Middle Kingdom some 4000 years ago. Careful analysis shows that the cloth contains 80% of the ^{14}{\rm C} that it is estimated to have originally contained. How old is the cloth?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

the cloth is old by 1,844 years

Explanation:

The computation is shown below:

The half-life of C^(14) is 5730 years

Now

[tex]\lambda[/tex] =1.210 × 10^-4 years^(-1)

Now

[tex]N(t) = Ce^{-\lambda\times t}[/tex]

[tex]0.8 \times (N_0) = N_0 \times e^{-\lambda \times t}\\\\ln(0.8) = (-\lambda \times t)\\\\t = \frac{-(ln(0.8))}{\lambda}[/tex]

[tex]\lambda[/tex] = .000121,

so t = 1844 yrs

hence, the cloth is old by 1,844 years

Total internal reflection at the air liquid surface is observed for an unknown liquid when the angle of incidence is 43 degrees. What is the index of refraction of this unknown liquid?
a. 0.68
b. 1.0
c. 1.47
d. 1.59

Answers

Answer:

c. 1.47

Explanation:

Snell's law states that there exists always a fixed relationship between the index of refraction of two transparent media, and the sines of the incident and refraction angles, as follows:

       [tex]\frac{n_{i} }{n_{r} } = \frac{sin_{\theta r} }{sin_{\theta i} } (1)[/tex]

When there is a total internal reflection, this means that light can't go across the border between two media, i.e., the refraction angle is 90º, which means that sin θr = 1Since the refraction index for air is 1, i.e. nr =1, this means that (1) , for total internal reflection becomes:

       [tex]n_{i} = \frac{1}{sin_{\theta i} } = \frac{1}{sin 43} = 1.47 (2)[/tex]

A block of iron at 33.0°C has mass 2.30 kg. If 3.50×104 J of heat are transferred to the block, what is its resulting temperature?

Answers

Answer:

66.8°C

Explanation:

dQ = m*cp*dT where:

m = mass of block

cp = specific heat of iron

dT = temperature change

-------

dQ = 3.5 10^4 J

cp = 0.45 Kj / Kg = 450 J / Kg

3.5 10^4 = 2.3 * 450 * dt-----dt = 35000 / 450 * 2.3 = 33.8 °

-------

Final temperature = 33 + 33.8 = 66.8 °C

Answers

The weight W palced at a distance of 45 cm on a half meter ruler pivote at its midpoint is 15 N.

To calculate the weight W, we use the principle of moment.

Principle of moment?

It states that, if a body is at equilibrium, the sum of clockwise moment is equal to the sum of anticlockwise moment.

From the question,

Clockwise moment (F×d ) = Anticlockwise moment (W×D).......... Equation1

Make W the subject of the equation

W = Fd/D............. Equation 2

Given:

F = 20 Nd = (25-10) = 15 cm = 0.15 mD = (45-25) = 20 cm = 0.2 m

Answer:

The car's acceleration is [tex]3\ m/s^2[/tex]

Explanation:

Constant Acceleration Motion

It's a type of motion in which the velocity of an object changes uniformly over time.

The final speed is given by:

[tex]v_f=v_o+at[/tex]

Where a the constant acceleration, vo the initial speed, vf the final speed, and t the time, the following relation applies:

Using the equation above we can solve for a:

[tex]\displaystyle a=\frac{v_f-v_o}{t}[/tex]

The car is initially at rest (vo=0) and t=10 seconds later it's moving at vf=30 m/s, thus its acceleration is:

[tex]\displaystyle a=\frac{30-0}{10}[/tex]

[tex]\displaystyle a=\frac{30}{10}=3[/tex]

7. A monkey freefalls for 17.5 seconds. (a) What was the velocity after this time? (b) How far did it fall?

Answers

Answer:

a ) Vf = 171.7 [m/s]

b) y = 1502.6[m]

Explanation:

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

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

where:

Vf = final velocity [m/s]

Vo = initial velocity = 0 (freefall, without initial velocity)

g = gravity acceleration = 9.81 [m/s²]

t = time = 17.5 [s]

Now replacing:

[tex]v_{f} = 0 + 9.81*17.5\\v_{f} = 171.7[m/s][/tex]

Note: The gravity acceleration is positive, since the monkey is moving in the direction of the gravity acceleration.

Now using another equation of kinematics we can calculate the distance traveled.

[tex]v_{f}^{2}=v_{o}^{2}+2*g*y[/tex]

where:

y = distance traveled [m]

The half-life for radioactive decay (a first-order process) is 24,000 years. How many years does it take for one mole of this radioactive material to decay so that just one atom remains?

Answers

Answer: it will take 1.9 × 10⁶ yrs for one mole of the radioactive material to decay so that just one atom remains

Explanation:

Given that;

Half life t_1/2 = 24,000 years

initial amount of radio active element = 1 mole

now one mole of a substance has Avagadro number of atoms which is initially 6.023 × 10²³ which are present and finally only 1 atom is left

using the formula

t_1/2 = 0.693/k

In[ N₀/N_t] = kt

N₀ is the initial amount, N_t is the amount left after t time, t is the time, k is the rate constant.

now we substitute

t_1/2 = 0.693/k

k = 0.693/ t_1/2

k = 0.693 / 24,000 years

k = 0.000028875 yr⁻¹

so

In[ N₀/N_t] = kt

t = 1/0.000028875 yr⁻¹ In [ 6.023 × 10²³ / 1 ]

= 34632.0346 In[6.023 × 10²³]

= 34632.0346 × 54.7550

= 1896277.0545 yrs ≈ 1.9 × 10⁶ yrs

Therefore it will take 1.9 × 10⁶ yrs for one mole of the radioactive material to decay so that just one atom remains

What happens to the pressure of a gas in a closed container if you double its volume while its temperature is held constant?

Answers

Answer:

This question lacks options, the options are:

A) It would increase by a factor of four.

B) It would decrease by a factor of four.

C) It would be halved.

D) It would be doubled.

E) It would not change.

The answer is C

Explanation:

The relationship between the pressure and volume has been explained by BOYLE in his law. Boyle's law states that, at a constant temperature, the volume is inversely proportional to the pressure of a gas. This means that as the VOLUME INCREASES, the PRESSURE DECREASES and vice versa.

P ∝ 1/V or V ∝ 1/P

Hence, based on this explanation, when the volume of a gas in a closed container is doubleb, its pressure will be reduced by half i.e. 1/2. In other words, the pressure will be HALVED.

A force of 16 N is applied to a 5 kg block that is at rest on a smooth, horizontal surface. What is the velocity of the

block at time t = 5 seconds?​

Answers

Answer:

16m/s

Explanation:

Given the following data;

Force, F = 16N

Mass, m = 5kg

Time, t = 5 seconds.

First of all, we would find the acceleration of the object.

Force is given by the multiplication of mass and acceleration.

Mathematically, Force is given by the formula;

[tex] F = ma[/tex]

Where;

F represents force.m represents the mass of an object.a represents acceleration.

Making acceleration (a) the subject, we have;

[tex]Acceleration, a = \frac{F}{m}[/tex]

Substituting into the equation;

[tex]Acceleration, a = \frac{16}{5}[/tex]

Acceleration, a = 3.2 m/s²

Now, to find velocity;

We would use the first equation of motion given by the formula;

[tex] V = U + at[/tex]

Where;

V is the final velocity. U is the initial velocity. a is the acceleration. t is the time measured in seconds.

We know that acceleration due to gravity is 9.8m/s² and initial velocity (U) is 0 since the object is at rest.

Substituting into the equation, we have;

[tex] V = 0 + 3.2*5[/tex]

[tex] V = 0 + 16[/tex]

Velocity, V = 16m/s.

If a vehicle is traveling at constant velocity and then comes to a sudden stop, has it undergone negative acceleration or positive acceleration? Explain your answer

Answers

Answer:

Negative acceleration

Explanation:

Let us assume a vehicle is moving with a constant velocity u and then it comes to a sudden stop.

The initial velocity of the vehicle is u and finally it comes to rest, it means final velocity is 0.

As we know that,

Acceleration is equal to change in velocity divided by time taken.

[tex]a=\dfrac{v-u}{t}\\\\\text{Put v=0}\\\\a=\dfrac{-u}{t}[/tex]

We can see that the value of acceleration is negative. Hence, it leads to negative acceleration.

According to Conservation of momentum, if a bowling ball hits some pins, the momentum that lost by the bowling ball is known to be equal to the momentum obtained by the pins.

The friction that is used in bowling is kinetic friction because the more oil that is placed down, the lower the friction that is found between the ball and that of the lane surface. The  little friction, the stronger it is for the bowler to be able to send the ball in a curved path and thus the formula to find the kinetic friction is know to be : µk=F k/mg.
