Answer:

6.571428571m/s

Explanation:

The momentum of an object is basically a measure of its motion, and it takes both mass and the velocity an object is travelling at into account.

Momentum = mass x velocity

<em>(sub in values from question)</em>

241.5=36.75v

v=6.571428571m/s

The carbon isotope 14C is used for carbon dating of archeological artifacts. 14C(mass 2.34×10−26kg) decays by the process known

Nookie1986 [14]

Answer:

2240.92365 m/s

Explanation:

$m_1$ = Mass of electron = $9.11\times 10^{−31}\ kg$

$v_1$ = Speed of electron = $5.7\times 10^7\ m/s$

$p_2$ = Neutrino has a momentum = $7.3\times 10^{-24}\ kg m/s$

M = total mass = $2.34\times 10^{-26}\ kg$

In the x axis as the momentum is conserved

$Mv_x=m_1v_1\\\Rightarrow v_x=\dfrac{m_1v_1}{M}\\\Rightarrow v_x=\dfrac{9.11\times 10^{−31}\times 5.7\times 10^7}{2.34\times 10^{-26}}\\\Rightarrow v_x=2219.10256\ m/s$

In the y axis

$Mv_y=p_2\\\Rightarrow v_y=\dfrac{p_2}{M}\\\Rightarrow v_y=\dfrac{7.3\times 10^{-24}}{2.34\times 10^{-26}}\\\Rightarrow v_y=311.96581\ m/s$

The resultant velocity is

$R=\sqrt{v_x^2+v_y^2}\\\Rightarrow R=\sqrt{2219.10256^2+311.96581^2}\\\Rightarrow R=2240.92365\ m/s$

The recoil speed of the nucleus is 2240.92365 m/s

If you see a sedimentary rock outcrop and red layers of sand are on top of pale yellow layers of sand, what do you know for sure

neonofarm [45]

Answer: The yellow layer is definitely older than the red layer

Explanation: According to Nicolaus Steno's law of superposition and original horizontality. Older rocks underlie younger rocks.

Sedimentary rocks are usually deposited in horizontal layers in which each stratigraphic layer is laid down before another can be deposited upon it.

The red layer, in addition to being older, is also likely to have undergone intense oxidation due to earlier exposure.

A 3.0-A current is maintained in a simple circuit that consists of a resistor between the terminals of an ideal battery. If the

harina [27]

Answer:

$R=2.78\ \Omega$

Explanation:

Given that,

The current flowing in the circuit, I = 3 A

The power of the battery, P = 25 W

We need to find the resistance of the battery. We know that the power of the battery is given by the formula as follows :

$P=I^2R$

Put all the values to find R.

$R=\dfrac{P}{I^2}\\\\R=\dfrac{25}{(3)^2}\\\\R=2.78\ \Omega$

So, the resistance is equal to $2.78\ \Omega$ .
