Let's calculate the momentum of Fiona, given by the product between its mass and its speed:
Now let's compare it with the momentum of the other animals:
a) the mass of the sea turtle is missing, so we cannot calculate its momentum.
b) the momentum of the dolphin is
c) the momentum of the horse is
d) the momentum of the lion is
And we can see that the correct answer is b), because the momentum of the dolphin is greater than the momentum of Fiona.
To solve this problem we will apply the concepts related to the conservation of momentum. That is, the final momentum must be the same final momentum. And in each state, the momentum will be the sum of the product between the mass and the velocity of each object, then
Here,
= Mass of each object
= Initial velocity of each object
= Final velocity of each object
When they position the final velocities of the bodies it is the same and the car is stationary then,
Rearranging to find the final velocity
The expression for the impulse received by the first car is
Replacing,
The negative sign show the opposite direction.
The answer is D. They have a higher frequency than X-rays.
Gamma-rays falls in the electromagnetic spectrum above, Gamma-rays have frequencies greater than 10¹⁸ cycles per second, or Hertz (Hz)
Carbon-14 is naturally created with the interaction of high-energy cosmic rays with atmospheric nitrogen. As part of the atmosphere, living organisms take in the carbon and incorporate this into living tissues. As long as the organism is alive and breathing, it keeps adding new carbon-14. When the organism dies, it stops gaining carbon-14 - or anything else, of course.
Carbon-14 is slightly radioactive, with a half-life of about 5700 years. If we assume that the atmospheric production of carbon-14 has been steady for the last 100,000 years, we can calculate the approximate age of when the organism died by determining what percentage of carbon-14 still exists in the dead material.
Paleo-archaeologists and anthropologists use this information when studying old cultures and civilizations.
