The half-life of carbon-14 is 5730 years. explain how to figure out the age of a substance that has 25% carbon-14 remaining. a) multiply 25% times 5730 years since only 25% of the carbon remains. b) divide 5730 years by 2 since carbon has gone through two half-lives. c) multiply 5730 years by 2 since two half-lives have gone by for carbon. d) multiply 4 times 5730 years since carbon has gone through 4 half-lives.

C

Explanation:

25% is two half lives.

Each half life requires 5730 years.

So two half lives requires  

2

×

5730

 C)Multiply 5730 years by 2 since two half-lives have gone by for carbon.

Explanation:

Multiply 5730 years by 2 since two half-lives have gone by for carbon. 5730 years will go by and 50% will remain. When 25% is remaining, another 5730 years will have passed. Therefore, multiply 5730 years by 2.

weight of the box is given as

here this is placed on the inclined of angle 42 degree

now this weight will have two components one is along the incline other is perpendicular to it

so here we need to apply a force parallel to incline opposite to its component of weight

so here the component of weight is given as

here we have

so it requires 75 n force to move it upwards

prndulum needs thread, weight clock to time swings
