There are three variables independent, dependent ,and controlled
The water gets cold because the ice cube is endothermic. Which means it takes in heat. It takes the warmth from the water and melts the ice cube which the ice cube releases coldness which cools down the water.
Answer : The time passed in years is 
Explanation :
Half-life of carbon-14 = 5730 years
First we have to calculate the rate constant, we use the formula :



Now we have to calculate the time passed.
Expression for rate law for first order kinetics is given by:

where,
k = rate constant = 
t = time passed by the sample = ?
a = initial amount of the reactant disintegrate = 15.3
a - x = amount left after decay process = 14.8
Now put all the given values in above equation, we get


Therefore, the time passed in years is
