The C-14 decay is used to estimate the age of an old dead tree. The activity of C-14 in the dead tree is determined to have fall

en to 21% of its original value. C-14 has a half-life of 5700 years. Calculate, in years, the age of the dead tree.
I used the relevant formula but somehow my answer does not match with the markscheme. Can you help me?

Match each property with the benefit it provides to people on Earth. A. magnetic field filters cancer-causing rays from the sun
vodomira [7]

The correct matching are the following:

  • A. magnetic field: prevents charged particles from the sun from reaching the surface
  • B. ozone: filters cancer-causing rays from the sun
  • C. carbon dioxide: retains heat energy from the sun in the atmosphere
  • D. water in oceans, lakes, rivers and streams: moderates changes in temperature on the surface

The electromagnetic field of the Earth protects us from solar wind by deflecting it. Without it, the charged particles would strip away our ozone, which will lead to the end of life on Earth.

The ozone is a layer in the stratosphere that filters the suns rays. It filters the UV rays by absorbing it. This prevents the UV rays from damaging the surface of the Earth.

Carbon dioxide retains heat in the atmosphere, which creates a greenhouse effect. It is beneficial for us, but because human activity like industrial activities emit so much carbon in the atmosphere that it ends up being harmful.

Bodies of water found on Earth regulate the temperature of the Earth through ocean currents. It brings in both cold and warm air to land which also affect precipitation.

Long explanation, I know, but maybe this will help you out in the long run. Good Luck!

Define an expression for linear expansion of solid​
Vesnalui [34]

\huge \tt \underline \red{answer}

When something is heated or cooled, its length changes by an amount proportional to the original length and the change in temperature: linear expansion : ΔL=αL0ΔT (α is the coefficient of linear expansion) The coefficient of linear expansion depends only on the material an object is made from.

Thanku have a great day ✨❤️

statuscvo [17]
D=Vot+1/2at^2

In this case, there is no initial y velocity so the term Vot=0 so d=1/2at^2

acceleration=acceleration due to gravity=-9.8m/s^2

It falls - 22cm or -0.22m

We have - 0.22=1/2(-9.8)t^2

t^2=(-0.44)/(-9.8)

t=sqrt[0.44/9.8]
