Answer:

Considering the following case:

Carbon-14 has a half life of 5,770 years. A fossil was found that had 1/32 of its original Carbon-14 remaining.

The fossil is 28.850 years old.

Explanation:

The reason behind this is that in the first place we need to understand that 1/32 equals 1/2^5 or in other words 5 times. So we then have to multiply the half-life for 5 times and we will obtain 28,850 years as a result because the half-life for carbon-14 is 5,770 In our case it is different as in the majority of them because 5,730 is more often used as the reference value of half-life.

How does the Sun heat the Earth?<br><br>Explain your answer in your own words.
iris [78.8K]

Explanation:

The sun heats the earth through radiation. Since there is no medium (like the gas in our atmosphere) in space, radiation is the primary way that heat travels in space. When the heat reaches the earth it warms the molecules of the atmosphere, and they warm other molecules and so on.

GalinKa [24]
<span>True. The external air is empty until the ear drum, passing through into the middle ear by way of three small bones that vibrate against each other and into the inner ear, where sound vibrates through the bony labyrinth, all encased in a fluid that helps the sound move to sound detecting nerves in the inner ear.</span>
