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.

The force shown in the attached figure is the net eastward force acting on a ball. The force starts rising at t = 0.012 s, falls
kifflom [539]
Impulse = Integral of F(t) dt from 0.012s to 0.062 s

Given that you do not know the function F(t) you have to make an approximation.

The integral is the area under the curve.

The problem suggest you to approximate the area to a triangle.

In this triangle the base is the time: 0.062 s - 0.012 s = 0.050 s

The height is the peak force: 35 N.

Then, the area is [1/2] (0.05s) (35N) = 0.875 N*s

Answer> 0.875 N*s

If the top circuit has an oscillation frequency of 1000 Hz, the frequency of the bottom circuit is:_______.
kiruha [24]

Answer:

1410 Hz

Explanation:

Capacitance is reduced by 2, so the angular frequency will increase by a factor of \sqrt{2}.

>En cual de las siguientes situaciones la fuerza neta sobre el cuerpo es cero?
ExtremeBDS [4]
La respuesta es "Un avion que vuela al norte con rapidez constante y altitud constante".

Para que la fuerza neta sea 0, la aceleracion debe ser 0, para esto la velocidad debe ser constante.  

Para que la velocidad sea constante el objecto debe estar moviendo con rapidez (magnitud de la velocidad) constante y sin cambiar direccion; ya que la velocidad es un vector asi es que depende en magnitud y direccion.

En las demas opciones la magnitud de la velocidad (rapidez) cambia y/o la direccion.
