False. Carbon 14 will not be a good means of assigning absolute ages to very old (billions of years or more) igneous rocks.

<h3>What is carbon-14 dating?</h3>

Certain archeological relics of biological origin can have their age estimated by carbon-14 dating up to 50,000 years old. It is used to date items made relatively recently by human activity, such as bone, fabric, wood, and plant fibers. Every day, a lot of cosmic rays penetrate the earth's atmosphere. For instance, every individual receives roughly 500,000 cosmic rays every hour. It happens frequently that a cosmic ray will strike an atom in the atmosphere, producing an energetic neutron as a secondary cosmic ray. These powerful neutrons will then strike nitrogen atoms.

What is polar satellites????​
katrin [286]

Answer:

polar orbit is one in which a satellite passes above or nearly above both poles of the body being orbited (usually a planet such as the Earth, but possibly another body such as the Moon or Sun) on each revolution. It has an inclination of about 60 - 90 degrees to the body's equator.[1] A satellite in a polar orbit will pass over the equator at a different longitude on each of its orbits.

Launching satellites into polar orbit requires a larger launch vehicle to launch a given payload to a given altitude than for a near-equatorial orbit at the same altitude, due to the fact that much less of the Earth's rotational velocity can be taken advantage of to achieve orbit. Depending on the location of the launch site and the inclination of the polar orbit, the launch vehicle may lose up to 460 m/s of Delta-v, approximately 5% of the Delta-v required to attain Low Earth orbit. Polar orbits are a subtype of Low Earth orbits with altitudes between 200 and 1,000 kilometers.[1]

A coke has a ph of 3.5. this means that it has an excess of _______ ions and would be called a(n) _____.
Anuta_ua [19.1K]
PH (potential of hydrogen) is a numeric scale that is used to show the acidity or basicity of an aqueous solution. It tells how acidic or alkaline a substance is . The pH values ranges from 0 to 14, such that acidic solutions have values between 1 to 6.9 with most acidic having a pH value of 1 and those that are basic have values from 7.1 to 14, with most acidic having a value of 14. Acidic compounds contain replaceable hydrogen ions while basic compounds contain hrdroxyl ions. In this case, a coke has a pH of 3.5 (acidic) which means that it has an excess of hydrogen ions (H+) and would be called an acid.

A sample of an unknown gas occupies 5.51 L at 1.31 atm. What pressure would thisgas exert in a 0.520 L container if the temperat
weeeeeb [17]

Answer:

P₂ = 13.9 atm (3 sig. figs.)

Explanation:

The pressure (P), Volume (V) relationship with Temperature (T) & mass (n) held constant is an inverse proportionality. That is Boyles Law ...

P ∝ 1/V => P = k/V => k = P·V

For two pressure-volume conditions, the proportionality constant (k) remains constant where k₁ = k₂ and P₁·V₁ = P₂·V₂ => P₂ = P₁·V₁/V₂

Given:

P₁ = 1.31 atm.

V₁ = 5.51 L

P₂ = ?

V₂ = 0.520 L

V₂ = (1.31 atm)(5.51L)/(0.520L) = 13.88096154 atm (calc. ans.) = 13.9 atm (3 sig. figs.)
