The age of a material or how old the material is.
Kisachek [45]4 years ago

Answer:

The age of material

Explanation:

Radiocarbon dating is the method which is used to determine age of object that contains organic material by using properties of radiocarbon (¹⁴C).

The ¹⁴C in form of radioactive carbon dioxide formed in the atmosphere is incorporated into the plants by photosynthesis and also animals acquire ¹⁴C by eating these plants.

When a animal or a plant dies, they stops exchanging the carbon with environment and that point onward, the amount of ¹⁴C present in the body of them, begins to decrease as it  undergoes radioactive decay.

<u>Measuring amount of ¹⁴C can be used to calculate when the animal or the plant died. Hence, it is used to determine the age of the material.</u>

Answer:

The median would be 6700

Explanation:

Arrange data values from lowest to highest value

The median is the data value in the middle of the set

.

Ordering a data set x1 ≤ x2 ≤ x3 ≤ ... ≤ xn from lowest to highest value, the median x˜ is the data point separating the upper half of the data values from the lower half.

If the size of the data set n is odd the median is the value at position p where

Formula for the median

p=n+12

x˜=xp

If n is even the median is the average of the values at positions p and p + 1 where

p=n2

x˜=xp+xp+12

If there are 2 data values in the middle the median is the mean of those 2 values.

A cat travels 240 meters in 30 seconds, and a sprinter travels 100 meters in 9.5 seconds. Which is traveling faster, the cat or
joja [24]

Answer:

The cat

Explanation:

1) You need to find how many meters per second each thing is sprinting, so you can divide the meters by seconds for each.

\frac{240}{30} = 8 m/s\\\frac{100}{9.5} = around  10.5 m/s

2) Per second, the sprinter is able to achieve 8 meters, while the cat can do around 10.5 meters. 10.5 is greater than 8, making the cat faster than the sprinter.
