A fossilized leaf contains 18% of its normal amount of carbon 14. How old is the fossil (to the nearest year)? Use 5600 years as

Sati [7]

Answer: The age of the fossilized leaf is 13829 years.

Step-by-step explanation:

Expression for rate law for first order kinetics is given by:

$t=\frac{2.303}{k}\log\frac{a}{a-x}$

where,

k = rate constant

t = age of sample

a = let initial amount of the reactant = 100

a - x = amount left after decay process = $\frac{18}{100}\times 100=18$

a) for completion of half life:

Half life is the amount of time taken by a radioactive material to decay to half of its original value.

$t_{\frac{1}{2}}=\frac{0.693}{k}$

$k=\frac{0.693}{5600years}=0.00012years^{-1}$

b) for finding the age

$t=\frac{2.303}{0.00012}\log\frac{100}{18}$

$t=13829years$

The age of the fossilized leaf is 13829 years.

At noon, Bradley began steadily increasing the

barxatty [35]

Answer:

25.5 mph

Step-by-step explanation:

So Bradley's speed can be modeled by the equation y=2x+40 where y=speed, x=time in hours after noon, and b=initial speed

So 12:15 is 15 minutes after noon, which is also 0.25 or 1/4 of an hour after noon. This is the x-value. Plug this into the equation to get his speed at 12:15

y=2(0.25)+40

y=0.5+40

y=40.5

So his speed was 40.5 at the time and since he was going 15 miles over the speed limit, the speed limit is 15 less than his speed

40.5 - 15 = 25.5
