You are given a rock that contains some zircons. When you measure the amount of uranium and lead in the zircons you find out that the zircons contain 325 atoms of Uranium-238 (the parent isotope) and 2275 atoms of Thorium-234 (the daughter isotope). If Uranium-238 has a half-life of 4.5 billion years, how old are the zircons? Does this answer make sense? Explain your reasoning.

Acar is traveling at 53.0 mi/h on a horizontal highway. (a) if the coefficient of static friction between road and tires on a rainy day is 0.104, what is the minimum distance in which the car will stop?

Orque can be calculated by multiplying the force (n) applied at 90? to the lever arm at a distance (m) from the pivot point (point of rotation), the compound si unit for the torque is n? m. if the force (at 90? to the lever arm) applied is 15 n and it is applied at 2.0 m from the pivot point (point of rotation), what is the torque on the lever?

Imagine you work as a consultant, and your daily job involves listening to the constructive criticism of others. as part of your job, you must listen to opposing viewpoints to make important decisions. in this activity, you are a consulting dam engineer. you must make a decision about four different dams; should they be repaired, taken down, or left alone? you will listen to contrasting opinions about what should be done with the dams before you make the final decision. as the consulting dam engineer, what do you decide to do with this dam? explain your reasoning. by making your decision, did you support the opinions of the mayor and/or the dam safety official? why or why not?
