42,250 / 5,700 = 7.412

<u>Answer:</u>

Total 7.37 half lives have been estimated to pass since the time pottery was made, 42250 years ago.

The carbon-14 is a radioactive form of carbon which is helpful in computing the age of ancient materials. Carbon-14 decays to half of its content in 5730 years.

This is called half life of radioactive carbon which is 5730 years. The number of half lives is same as the remainder obtained by the division of age of pottery and half life of carbon.

How hot is the sun.
Anvisha [2.4K]

Answer:

5,778 K

Explanation:

The core of the sun is so hot and there is so much pressure, nuclear fusion takes place: hydrogen is changed to helium. Nuclear fusion creates heat and photons (light). The sun's surface is about 6,000 Kelvin, which is 10,340 degrees Fahrenheit (5,726 degrees Celsius).

What economic issues should be considered during conservation?
olchik [2.2K]

Answer:

Hybridization may drive rare taxa to extinction through genetic swamping, where the rare form is replaced by hybrids, or by demographic swamping, where population growth rates are reduced due to the wasteful production of maladaptive hybrids. Conversely, hybridization may rescue the viability of small, inbred populations. Understanding the factors that contribute to destructive versus constructive outcomes of hybridization is key to managing conservation concerns. Here, we survey the literature for studies of hybridization and extinction to identify the ecological, evolutionary, and genetic factors that critically affect extinction risk through hybridization. We find that while extinction risk is highly situation dependent, genetic swamping is much more frequent than demographic swamping. In addition, human involvement is associated with increased risk and high reproductive isolation with reduced risk. Although climate change is predicted to increase the risk of hybridization‐induced extinction, we find little empirical support for this prediction. Similarly, theoretical and experimental studies imply that genetic rescue through hybridization may be equally or more probable than demographic swamping, but our literature survey failed to support this claim. We conclude that halting the introduction of hybridization‐prone exotics and restoring mature and diverse habitats that are resistant to hybrid establishment should be management priorities.

if earth were to be replaced with an object with the same mass but much smaller size would the moon still orbit it
Serggg [28]

Answer:

Oct 2, 2019 - However the moon is already increasing the size of its orbit around the earth and would continue to do so with a smaller earth just not quite as quickly. This is all assuming the object replacing the earth is still made out of the same stuff such as rock, metal and water.
