A wooden artifact from a Chinese temple has a 14C activity of 41.0 counts per minute as compared with an activity of 58.2 counts per minute for a standard of zero age. You may want to reference (Pages 913 - 916) Section 21.4 while completing this problem. Part A From the half-life for 14C decay, 5715 yr, determine the age of the artifact. Express your answer using two significant figures. t

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

Explanation:

The relation between activity and number of radioactive atom in the sample is as follows

dN / dt = λ N where λ is disintegration constant and N is number of radioactive atoms

For the beginning period

dN₀ / dt = λ N₀

58.2 = λ N₀

similarly

41 = λ N

dividing

58.2 / 41 = N₀ / N

N = N₀ x .70446

formula of radioactive decay

[tex]N=N_0e^{-\lambda t }[/tex]

[tex].70446 =e^{-\lambda t }[/tex]

- λ t = ln .70446 =   - .35

t = .35 / λ

λ = .693 / half life

= .693 / 5715

= .00012126

t = .35 / .00012126

= 2886.36

= 2900 years ( rounding it in two significant figures )

Suppose you are looking into the end of a long cylindrical tube in which there is a uniform magnetic field pointing away from you. If the magnitude of the field is decreasing with time the direction of the induced magnetic field is

Answers

Answer:

If the magnitude of the field is decreasing with time the direction of the induced magnetic field is CLOCKWISE

Explanation

This is because If the magnetic field decreases with time, the electric field will be produced in order to oppose the change in line with lenz law. Thus The right hand rule can be applied to find that the direction of electric field is in the clockwise direction.

On a certain planet a body is thrown vertically upwards with an initial speed of 40 m / s. If the maximum height was 100 m, the acceleration due to gravity is

a) 15 m / s 2
b) 12.5 m / s 2
c) 8 m / s 2
d) 10 m / s 2

Answers

Answer:

C) 8 m/s²

Explanation:

Given:

v₀ = 40 m/s

v = 0 m/s

Δy = 100 m

Find: a

v² = v₀² + 2aΔy

(0 m/s)² = (40 m/s)² + 2a (100 m)

a = -8 m/s²

In your own words, discuss how energy conservation applies to a pendulum. Where is the potential energy the most? Where is the potential energy the least? Where is kinetic energy the most? Where is kinetic energy the least?

Answers

Answer:

Explanation:

Energy conservation applies to the swinging of pendulum . When the bob is at one extreme , it is at some height from its lowest point . So it has some gravitational potential energy . At that time since it remains at rest its kinetic energy is zero or the least . As it goes down while swinging , its potential energy decreases and kinetic energy increases following conservation of mechanical energy . At the At the lowest point , its potential energy is least  and kinetic energy is maximum .

In this way , there is conservation of mechanical energy .

Unpolarized light passes through a vertical polarizing filter, emerging with an intensity I0. The light then passes through a horizontal filter, which blocks all of the light; the intensity transmitted through the pair of filters is zero. Suppose a third polarizer with axis 45 ? from vertical is inserted between the first two.
What is the transmitted intensity now?
Express your answer in terms of I0. I got I0/8. But this is not right. I guess they want a number?

Answers

Answer:

    I₂ = 0.25 I₀

Explanation:

To know the light transmitted by a filter we must use the law of Malus

          I = I₀ cos² θ

In this case, the intensity of the light that passes through the first polarizer is I₀, it reaches the second polarized, which is at 45⁰, therefore the intensity I1 comes out of it.

        I₁ = I₀ cos² 45

        I₁ = I₀ 0.5

this is the light that reaches the third polarizer, which is at 45⁰ with respect to the second, from this comes the intensity I₂

       I₂ = I₁ cos² 45

       I₂ = (I₀ 0.5) 0.5

       I₂ = 0.25 I₀

this is the intensity of the light transmitted by the set of polarizers

A record player rotates a record at 45 revolutions per minute. When the record player is switched off, it makes 4.0 complete turns at a constant angular acceleration before coming to rest. What was the magnitude of the angular acceleration (in rads/s2) of the record as it slowed down

Answers

Answer:

The  angular acceleration is [tex]\alpha = 0.4418 \ rad /s^2[/tex]

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

      The  angular speed is [tex]w_f = 45 \ rev / minutes = \frac{45 * 2 * \pi }{60 }= 4.713 \ rad/s[/tex]

       The  angular displacement is  [tex]\theta =4 \ rev = 4 * 2 * \pi = 25.14 \ rad[/tex]

From the first equation of motion we can define the movement of the record as

      [tex]w_f ^2 = w_o ^2 + 2 * \alpha * \theta[/tex]

Given that the record started from rest [tex]w_o = 0[/tex]

So

       [tex]4.713^2 = 2 * \alpha * 25.14[/tex]

        [tex]\alpha = 0.4418 \ rad /s^2[/tex]

Si se deja caer una piedra desde un helicóptero en reposo, entonces al cabo de 20 s cual será la rapidez y la distancia recorrida por la piedra

Answers

Answer:

La piedra alcanza una rapidez de 196.14 metros por segundo y una distancia recorrida de 1961.4 metros en 20 segundos.

Explanation:

Si se excluye los efectos del arrastre por la viscosidad del aire, la piedra experimenta un movimiento de caída libre, es decir, que la piedra es acelerada por la gravedad terrestre. La distancia recorrida y la rapidez final de la piedra pueden obtenerse con la ayuda de las siguientes ecuaciones cinemáticas:

[tex]v = v_{o} + g\cdot t[/tex]

[tex]y - y_{o} = v_{o}\cdot t + \frac{1}{2}\cdot g \cdot t^{2}[/tex]

Donde:

[tex]v[/tex], [tex]v_{o}[/tex] - Rapideces final e inicial de la piedra, medidas en metros por segundo.

[tex]t[/tex] - Tiempo, medido en segundos.

[tex]g[/tex] - Aceleración gravitacional, medida en metros por segundo al cuadrado.

[tex]y[/tex]. [tex]y_{o}[/tex] - Posiciones final e inicial de la piedra, medidos en metros.

Si [tex]v_{o} = 0\,\frac{m}{s}[/tex], [tex]g = -9.807\,\frac{m}{s^{2}}[/tex], [tex]y_{o} = 0\,m[/tex], entonces:

[tex]v = 0\,\frac{m}{s} +\left(-9.807\,\frac{m}{s^{2}} \right) \cdot (20\,s)[/tex]

[tex]v = -196.14\,\frac{m}{s}[/tex]

[tex]y-y_{o} = \left(0\,\frac{m}{s} \right)\cdot (20\,s) + \frac{1}{2}\cdot \left(-9.807\,\frac{m}{s^{2}} \right) \cdot (20\,s)^{2}[/tex]

[tex]y-y_{o} = -1961.4\,m[/tex]

A ​46-ton monolith is transported on a causeway that is 3500 feet long and has a slope of about 3.7. How much force parallel to the incline would be required to hold the monolith on this​ causeway?

Answers

Answer:

2.9tons

Explanation:

Note that On an incline of angle a from horizontal, the parallel and perpendicular components of a downward force F are:

parallel ("tangential"): F_t = F sin a

perpendicular ("normal"): F_n = F cos a

At a=3.7 degrees, sin a is about 0.064 and with F = 46tons:

F sin a ~~ (46 tons)*0.064 ~~ 2.9tons

Also see attached file

The required force parallel to the incline to hold the monolith on this​ causeway will be "2.9 tons".

Angle and Force

According to the question,

Angle, a = 3.7 degrees or,

Sin a = 0.064

Force, F = 46 tons

We know the relation,

Parallel (tangential), [tex]F_t[/tex] = F Sin a

By substituting the values,

                                       = 46 × 0.064

                                       = 2.9 tons

Thus the response above is appropriate answer.

Answer:

a

 [tex]a_{max} = 0.00246 \ m/s^2[/tex]

b

   [tex]k =722.2 \ N/m[/tex]

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

     The  amplitude is [tex]A = 1.8 \ cm = 0.018 \ m[/tex]

     The period is [tex]T = 17 \ s[/tex]

    The test weight is  [tex]W = 13 \ N[/tex]

Generally the radial acceleration is mathematically represented as

        [tex]a = w^2 r[/tex]

at maximum angular acceleration

       [tex]r = A[/tex]

So  

       [tex]a_{max} = w^2 A[/tex]

Now [tex]w[/tex] is the angular velocity which is mathematically represented as

      [tex]w = \frac{2 * \pi }{T}[/tex]

Therefore

       [tex]a_{max} = [\frac{2 * \pi}{T} ]^2 * A[/tex]

substituting values

       [tex]a_{max} = [\frac{2 * 3.142}{17} ]^2 * 0.018[/tex]

       [tex]a_{max} = 0.00246 \ m/s^2[/tex]

Generally this test weight is mathematically represented as

     [tex]W = k * A[/tex]

Where k is the spring constant

Therefore

        [tex]k = \frac{W}{A}[/tex]

substituting values        

      [tex]k = \frac{13}{0.018}[/tex]

     [tex]k =722.2 \ N/m[/tex]
