Answer:
To calculate the age of a piece of bone
Explanation:
Carbon 14 is an isotope of carbon that is unstable and decays into Nitrogen 14 by emitting an electron. The decay rate of radioactive material is normally expressed in terms of its "half-life" (the time required by half the radioactive nuclei of a sample to undergo radioactive decay). The nice thing about carbon 14 is that its "half-life" is about 5730 years, which gives a nice reference to measure the age of fossils that are some thousand years old.
Carbon 14 dating is used to determine the age of objects that have been living organisms long ago. They measure how much carbon 14 is left in the object after years of decaying without having exchange with the ambient via respiration, ingestion, absorption, etc. and therefore having renewed the normal amount of carbon 14 that is in the ambient.
A rock is not a living organism, so its age cannot be determined by carbon 14 dating.
Answer: 800N
Explanation:
Given :
Mass of ball =0.8kg
Contact time = 0.05 sec
Final velocity = initial velocity = 25m/s
Magnitude of the average force exerted on the wall by the ball is can be calculated using the relation;
Force(F) = mass(m) * average acceleration(a)
a= (initial velocity(u) + final velocity(v))/t
m = 0.8kg
u = v = 25m/s
t = contact time of the ball = 0.05s
Therefore,
a = (25 + 25) ÷ 0.05 = 1000m/s^2
Therefore,
Magnitude of average force (F)
F=ma
m = mass of ball = 0.8
a = 1000m/s^2
F = 0.8 * 1000
F = 800N
Answer:
6 m/s is the missing final velocity
Explanation:
From the data table we extract that there were two objects (X and Y) that underwent an inelastic collision, moving together after the collision as a new object with mass equal the addition of the two original masses, and a new velocity which is the unknown in the problem).
Object X had a mass of 300 kg, while object Y had a mass of 100 kg.
Object's X initial velocity was positive (let's imagine it on a horizontal axis pointing to the right) of 10 m/s. Object Y had a negative velocity (imagine it as pointing to the left on the horizontal axis) of -6 m/s.
We can solve for the unknown, using conservation of momentum in the collision: Initial total momentum = Final total momentum (where momentum is defined as the product of the mass of the object times its velocity.
In numbers, and calling 
the initial momentum of object X and 
the initial momentum of object Y, we can derive the total initial momentum of the system: 
Since in the collision there is conservation of the total momentum, this initial quantity should equal the quantity for the final mometum of the stack together system (that has a total mass of 400 kg):
Final momentum of the system: 
We then set the equality of the momenta (total initial equals final) and proceed to solve the equation for the unknown(final velocity of the system):
Weight = mass * gravity
420 = mass * 9.8
mass of Betty = 42.857 kg
Difference in height = 1 - 0.45 = 0.55 meters
Total energy = Kinetic energy + potential energy
At the highest point, the kinetic energy is zero while the potential energy is maximum, therefore, we can get the total energy as follows:
Total energy = 0 + mgh
Total energy = 42.857*9.8*0.55 = 231 Joules
At the lowest point, the potential energy is zero while the kinetic energy is maximum. Therefore:
Total energy = 0.5 * m * (v)^2 + 0
231 = 0.5 * (42.857) * (velocity)^2
(velocity)^2 = 10.78
velocity = 3.28 meters/sec
