Nuclear decay formula is N(t)=N₀*2^-(t/T), where N(t) is the amount of nuclear material in some moment t, N₀ is the original amount of nuclear material, t is time and T is the half life of the material, in this case carbon 14. In our case N(t)=12.5% of N₀ or N(t)=0.125*N₀, T=5730 years and we need to solve for t:
0.125*N₀=N₀*2^-(t/T), N₀ cancels out and we get:
0.125=2^-(t/T),
ln(0.125)=ln(2^-(t/T))
ln(0.125)=-(t/T)*ln(2), we divide by ln(2),
ln(0.125)/ln(2)=-t/T, multiply by T,
{ln(0.125)/ln(2)}*T=-t, divide by (-1) and plug in T=5730 years,
{ln(0.125)/[-ln(2)]}*5730=t
t=3*5730=17190 years.
The bone is t= 17190 years old.
As the centripetal force<span> acts upon an </span>object moving <span>in a </span>circle<span> at constant speed, the </span>force<span> always acts inward as the velocity of the </span>object<span> is directed tangent to the </span>circle. ... In fact, whenever the unbalanced centripetal force<span> acts perpendicular to the direction of </span>motion<span>, the speed of the </span>object will<span> remain constant.</span>
Explanation:
its the minimum amount of energy required to remove the most loosely bound electron
In very very very round figures . . .
-- Jupiter is about 5.2 times as far from the sun as the earth is.
-- So when Jupiter and the EARTH are aligned in both orbits, Jupiter is about
(4.2) x (150 million kilometers) = 630 million kilometers
Time = (distance) / (speed)
The speed of light and radio is 300,000 km/second
Time = (630 million / 300 thousand)
<em>Time = 2,100 seconds</em>
That's 35 minutes.
