Answer:

C. The half-life of C-14 is about 40,000 years.

Explanation:

The only false statement from the options is that the half-life of C-14 is 40,000yrs.

The half-life of an isotope is the time it takes for half of a radioactive material to decay to half of its original amount. C-14 has an half-life of 5730yrs. This implies that during every 5730yrs, C-14 will reduce to half of its initial amount.

All living organisms contain both stable C-12 and the unstable isotope of C-14
The lower the C-14 compared to the C-12 ratio in an organism, the older it is.

Sierra did 500 J of work to move her couch. If she exerts 250 N of force on the couch, How fat did she move it? (Work: W = Fd

Elodia [21]

W=F*d

W= 500 J
F = 250 N

500 J = 250 N * d
d= 500J/250 N = 2 J/N = 2(N*m)/N = 2 m
Answer is 2 m.

A gas has a pressure of 450 mmHg at 100 degrees Celsius. What will its new pressure be when the temperature rises 200 degrees Ce

Ahat [919]

Answer:

P2 = 900 mmHg.

Explanation:

Given the following data;

Initial pressure = 450 mmHg

Initial temperature = 100°C

Final temperature = 200°C

To find the final pressure, we would use Gay Lussac's law;

Gay Lussac states that when the volume of an ideal gas is kept constant, the pressure of the gas is directly proportional to the absolute temperature of the gas.

Mathematically, Gay Lussac's law is given by;

$PT = K$
