Answer: Uranium-235.

Radioactive isotopes are used to determine the age of antique objects, including fossils.

The half-life time of the radioactive elements is what permits the process of dating.

The half-life of C-14 is too short to be useful to date too old objects.

Precambrian time is the most antique era. C-14 hal-life is about 5730 years and Precambrian time is millions or billions of years ago. Given that the hal-life of U-235 is 704 million years it is appropiate to date the fossils from the Precambrian era.

Which of the following best describes the main function of the nervous system?
Svetach [21]
C, because the nervous system takes in information through our senses, processes the information and triggers reactions, such as making your muscles move or causing you to feel pain. For example, if you touch a hot plate, you reflexively pull back your hand and your nerves simultaneously send pain signals to your brain.

What is the de Broglie wavelength (in nm) of a proton of traveling at 3.18% of the speed of light?
gulaghasi [49]
Answer is: <span>de Broglie wavelength of a proton is </span>3,4·10⁻⁵ nm.
v(proton) = 0,038 · 3·10⁸ m/s.
v(proton) = 1,14·10⁷ m/s; speed of proton.
m(proton) = 1,67·10⁻²⁷ kg.
h = 6,62607004·10⁻³⁴ m²·kg/s; Planck constant.
λ(proton) = h / m(proton) · v(proton).
λ(proton) = 6,62607004·10⁻³⁴ m²·kg/s ÷ (1,67·10⁻²⁷ kg · 1,14·10⁷ m/s).
λ(proton) = 3,48·10⁻¹⁴ m · 10⁹ nm/m = 3,4·10⁻⁵ nm.
