hram777 [196]

Given :

The half life of Carbon-14 , t_{0.5}=5730 .

Trace amounts of Carbon-14 1/2408 remains.

To Find :

How old is the rock .

Solution :

Let , initial concentration of Carbon-14 is C .

Quantity remains , \dfrac{C}{2408} .

Rate constant is :

k=\dfrac{0.693}{t_{0.5}}\\\\k=\dfrac{0.693}{5730}\\\\k=1.2\times 10^{-4}\ years^{-1}

By first order equation :

kt=-ln(\dfrac{[A_t]}{[A_o]})\\\\t=-\dfrac{ln(\dfrac{[A_t]}{[A_o]})}{k}\\\\t=-\dfrac{ln(\dfrac{[A_o]}{[A_o]\times 2408})}{1.2\times 10^{-4}}\ years\\\\t=-\dfrac{ln(\dfrac{1}{2408})}{1.2\times 10^{-4}}\ years\\\\t=64887.9\ years

Therefore , the rock is 64887.9 years old .

Hence , this is the required solution .

kaheart [24]

The correct answer is B. Sensitive period

Explanation:

In development, the sensitive period refers to a lapse of time in which organisms are more susceptible or receptive to stimuli and therefore during this time there can be great advances in development. Additionally, different from critical periods sensitive periods do not imply irreversible consequence if the stimuli are not presented. For example, in human beings from birth to the age of 6 years, children are more receptive to learn and acquire certain skills such as learning a new language if exposed to it and therefore this can be considered as a sensitive period. Considering this, it can be concluded the definition presented refers to the Sensitive period.
