Answer:
The person has been dead for approximately 15,300 years
Explanation:
<u>Available data</u>:
- The half-life of carbon 14 is 5,600 years
- The human skeleton level of carbon 14 is 15% that of a living human
To answer this question we can make use of the following equation
Ln (C14T₁/C14 T₀) = - λ T₁
Where,
- C14 T₀ ⇒ Amount of carbon in a living body at time 0 = 100%
- C14T₁ ⇒ Amount of carbon in the dead body at time 1 = 15%
- λ ⇒ radioactive decay constant = (Ln2)/T₀,₅
- T₀,₅ ⇒ The half-life of carbon 14 = 5600 years
- T₀ = 0
- T₁ = ???
Let us first calculate the radioactive decay constant.
λ = (Ln2)/T₀,₅
λ = 0.693/5600
λ = 0.000123
Now, let us calculate the first term in the equation
Ln (C14T₁/C14 T₀) = Ln (15%/100%) = Ln 0.15 = - 1.89
Finally, let us replace the terms, clear the equation, and calculate the value of T₁.
Ln (C14T₁/C14 T₀) = - λ T₁
- 1.89 = - 0.000123 x T₁
T₁ = - 1.89 / - 0.000123
T₁ = 15,365 years
The person has been dead for approximately 15,300 years
because malnutrition causes various health issues and diseases, lowers your immune system, and causes death.
<em>global warming is caused by different gases ,, hence they are affecting the environment by increasing temperature ,, only science can solve such a big problem because during global warming all the reactions that take place are scientific..</em>
Homeostasis keeps the environment inside the cell always the same so that the cell doesn't have to keep making adaptations to match the ever-changing outside environment. <span />
The tides would become weaker, but we would not lose them completey because we would still have the tides caused by the Sun.
