<h3><u>Answer;</u></h3>
Carbon-14 levels in a sample are undetectable after approximately 9 half lives
<h3><u>Explanation;</u></h3>
- <em><u>The half life of Carbon-14 is 5,730 years . Half life is the time taken by a radioactive material to decay by half of its original mass. Therefore, it would take a time of 5730 years for a sample of 100 g of carbon-14 to decay to 50 grams</u></em>
- <em><u>A period of 50,000 years, is equivalent to; </u></em>
<em><u> 50,000÷5,730 </u></em>
<em><u>= 8.73 half lives</u></em>
<em>Which is approximately equal to 9 half lives.</em>
- Therefore, if the age of an object older than 50,000 years cannot be determined by radiocarbon dating, then <em><u>Carbon-14 levels in a sample are undetectable after approximately 9 half lives</u></em>.
Answer:
Density is determined by an object's mass and volume.
Explanation:
If two objects take up the same volume, but one has more mass, then it also has a higher density.
Change in velocity of larger moose: (1/3)v - v = -(2/3)v
<span>change in velocity of small moose: (1/3)v - (-v) = (4/3)v </span>
<span>- (change in velocity of larger moose)/(change in velocity of smaller moose) = 2

One day, as I was walking, I found some sandy soil beside the road.
Answer:
Explanation:
We shall apply conservation of mechanical energy
kinetic energy of alpha particle is converted into electric potential energy.
1/2 mv² = k q₁q₂/d , d is closest distance
d = 2kq₁q₂ / mv²
= 2 x 9 x 10⁹ x 79e x 2e / 4mv²
= 1422 x2x (1.6 x 10⁻¹⁹)² x 10⁹ /4x 1.67 x 10⁻²⁷ x (1.5 x 10⁷)²
= 3640.32 x 10⁻²⁹ /2x 3.7575 x 10⁻¹³
= 484.4 x 10⁻¹⁶
=48.4 x 10⁻¹⁵ m
