B. it was necessary to see data from more plants before the conclusion could be accepted.
Was there any choice of answers so i can help or something u have to figure out
So this is dealing with the conservation of energy. So you set kinetic energy equal to potential energy, so it looks like this:
1/2mv^2=mgh. The m's cancel out, so it is 1/2v^2=gh.
To find out what the height h is, divide g on both sides, so...
h=0.5v^2/g. v=22m/s, g=9.81m/s^2, so h=(0.5)(22^2)/(9.81)=24.67m
Via the half-life equation:

Where the time elapse is 11,460 year and the half-life is 5,730 years.

Therefore after 11,460 years the amount of carbon-14 is one fourth (1/4) of the original amount.
