For which of the following problems would a scientist most likely use carbon-14?

Physics

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.

bekas [8.4K]

Answer:

A) 12.08 m/s

B) 19.39 m/s

Explanation:

A) Down the hill, we will apply Newton’s second law of motion in the downward direction to get:

mg(sinθ) – F_k = ma

Where; F_k is frictional force due to kinetic friction given by the formula;

F_k = (μ_k) × F_n

F_n is normal force given by mgcosθ

Thus;

F_k = μ_k(mg cosθ)

We now have;

mg(sinθ) – μ_k(mg cosθ) = ma

Dividing through by m to get;

g(sinθ) – μ_k(g cosθ) = a

a = 9.8(sin 12.03) - 0.6(9.8 × cos 12.03)

a = -3.71 m/s²

We are told that distance d = 24.0 m and v_o = 18 m/s

Using newton's 3rd equation of motion, we have;

v = √(v_o² + 2ad)

v = √(18² + (2 × -3.71 × 24))

v = 12.08 m/s

B) Now, μ_k = 0.10

Thus;

a = 9.8(sin 12.03) - 0.1(9.8 × cos 12.03)

a = 1.08 m/s²

Using newton's 3rd equation of motion, we have;

v = √(v_o + 2ad)

v = √(18² + (2 × 1.08 × 24))

v = 19.39 m/s

If the distance between us and a star is doubled, with everything else remaining the same, the luminosity Group of answer choice
Savatey [412]

Answer:

remains the same, but the apparent brightness is decreased by a factor of four.

Explanation:

A star is a giant astronomical or celestial object that is comprised of a luminous sphere of plasma, binded together by its own gravitational force.

It is typically made up of two (2) main hot gas, Hydrogen (H) and Helium (He).

The luminosity of a star refers to the total amount of light radiated by the star per second and it is measured in watts (w).

The apparent brightness of a star is a measure of the rate at which radiated energy from a star reaches an observer on Earth per square meter per second.

The apparent brightness of a star is measured in watts per square meter.

If the distance between us (humans) and a star is doubled, with everything else remaining the same, the luminosity remains the same, but the apparent brightness is decreased by a factor of four (4).

Some of the examples of stars are;

- Canopus.

- Sun (closest to the Earth)

- Betelgeuse.

- Antares.

- Vega.
