The decay of 40K to 40Ar is used to date igneous rocks around fossil deposits to bracket the age of the fossils. When 40K decays, 10.9% of the time it produces 40Ar. The half-life of 40K is 1.248 x 109 years. In a given rock sample, 281.8 nmol of 40K is measured and 7.25 nmol of 40Ar is measured. What is the age of the rock in years

i think the answer is terrae but not 100 percent sure. ▓▬▬ §

you need to have a picture of the atom that way we can answer it

(newtons first law)

conservation of momentum law states :

momentum before collision = momentum after collision

momentum p (kg-m/s)= mass * velocity

say moving car=1 000 kg, velocity = 10 m/s then p = 1 000*10= 10 000 kg-m/s

say still car = 2 000 kg, velocity = 0 m/s then p = 2 000* 0 = 0 kg-m/s

total momentum prior to collision = 10 000 + 0 = 10 000 kg-m/s

momentum after collision = 10 000 kg-m/s

mass now = 1 000 kg+2 000 kg = 3 000 kg

10 000 = 3 000 kg* velocity m/s

10 000/3 000 = velocity

3.33 m/s = velocity after collision

an impulse is a force applied over time , momentum is exclusive of external forces and a perfect collision is implied
