Answer:

A rock with a half-life of 5,280 years having 1/8th of the parent material left will be 15,840 years old.

Explanation:

The half-life of a material is the time needed for only half of the parent material to be left, while half has is gone, or rather has disintegrated. The half-life is used further into the falling apart of the parent material though, with the same principle being applied. Practically, from the 1/2 of the parent material being left, the half-life of it would mean 1/4 of the parent material being left, and from that 1/4, the half-life would be at 1/8 of the parent material being left, and so one, by simply dividing in two.

In this case, having a half-life of the rock of 5,280 years, we will simply need to add that amount of years on every next phase. So, the half-life is 5,280 when 1/ of the parent material is left. When 1/4 of the parent material will be left we will have an age of 10,560 years, while when only 1/8 is left, we will have 15,840 years of age for the rock.

Otoliths are small stones in the semicircular canals that shift when the head moves. Please select the best answer from the choi
viva [34]
This question actually refers to body parts: otoliths are small structures in your inner ears (in the semicircular canals, so this part is correct) that shift when you move - to help you sense your body position (so this part is also true).

But they're not exactly stones - they are small particles, so that's why the statement is false.
