Suppose you find a rock that contains some potassium-40 (half-life of 1.3 billion years). you measure the amount and determine that there are 5 grams of potassium-40 in the rock. by measuring the amount of its decay product (argon-40) present in the rock, you realize that there must have been 40 grams of potassium-40 when the rock solidified. how old is the rock? a) 1.3 billion years b) 2.6 billion years c) 3.9 billion years d) 5.2 billion years e) none of the above

An athlete swings a ball, connected to the end of a chain, in a horizontal circle. the athlete is able to rotate the ball at the rate of 8.13 rev/s when the length of the chain is 0.600 m. when he increases the length to 0.900 m, he is able to rotate the ball only 6.04 rev/s. (a) which rate of rotation gives the greater speed for the ball? 6.04 rev/s 8.13 rev/s (b) what is the centripetal acceleration of the ball at 8.13 rev/s? m/s2 (c) what is the centripetal acceleration at 6.04 rev/s? m/s2
