A wooden object from the site of an ancient temple has a carbon-14 activity of 10 counts/min compared with a reference piece of

wood cut today that has an activity of 40 counts/min. If the half-life for carbon-14 is 5730 y, what is the age of the ancient wood object?

Answer:

Age of the ancient wood object is 11460 years.

Explanation:

We know that half-life for carbon-14 is 5730 years. That means the activity of the sample will decrease to half every 5730 years.

Now we construct the following table:

activity (counts/min)        age of the wooden object

      40                                                  0

      20                                               5730

      10                                                11460

A box contains identical balls of which 12 are red, 18 white and 8 blue. Three balls are drawn from the box one after the other
svet-max [94.6K]

Answer:

a) 12/323

b) 8/233

Explanation:

a) The probability of a red ball being drawn is 12/38, or in a simplified fraction, 6/19. To find the probability that 3 are red you would multiply the probability of the fraction for each, except subtracting one from the total each time as the drawn is done without replacement. This is done as follows: 6/19 × 6/18 × 6/17= 12/323

b) The probability of drawing a blue ball is 8/38, or 4/19. To find that the first one is blue and the rest are red, the equation is done as follows: 4/19 × 6/18 × 6/17 = 8/233

(hopefully I did this right)

The viscosities of several liquids are being compared. All the liquids are poured down a slope with equal path lengths. The liqu
boyakko [2]

Explanation:

The property of a substance to resist the flow of motion is known as viscosity. And, more is the density of a substance more will be its viscosity.  

Whereas, lesser is the density of a substance then it is easy for the substance to move.

This means that more is the viscosity of a substance least will be its flow and when a substance has lesser viscosity then it will readily flow from one point to another.

Thus, we can conclude that the viscosities of several liquids are being compared. All the liquids are poured down a slope with equal path lengths. The liquid with the highest viscosity will reach the bottom last.
