You find a fossil, and through careful study you find that only one-sixteenth of the carbon-14 that it once contained is still r

emaining in it. Carbon-14 has a half-life of approximately 5700 years. You can conclude that the age of the fossil is about __________.a. 4 × 5700 yr = 22,800 years
b. 16 × 5700 yr = 91,200 years
c. 1/16 × 5700 yr = 356 years
d. 5 × 5700 yr = 28,500 years

Answer:

The correct answer is:

5×5700 yr = 28,500 years (d)

Explanation:

The half life of an element/atom is the time is takes for that element/atom to decay to half of its original mass/size.

It was found that the carbon-14 atom had decayed until only \frac{1}{16th} of the original size is still remaining.

Now, let us first find how many half lives are in one-sixteenth, and that is \frac{1}{2}* \frac{1}{2}* \frac{1}{2}* \frac{1}{2} = \frac{1}{16}. so it means that there are 4 half lives in one-sixteenth, and since one half life takes approximately 5700 years, therefore 4 half lives will take 4×5700 yr = 22, 800 years, but at this point (22,800 years ago)the fossil has already half-life, therefore the additional age is to add the number of years it took to decay that half life. hence the age of fossil is:

22,800 + 5700 = 28, 500 years

Suppose you invest in 100 shares of Harley-Davidson at $60 per share and 300 shares of Yahoo at $25 per share. Over the next yea
Alexxx [7]

Answer:

(a) $0 (b) 0% (c) 50% (d) -40% (e) 0.444 and 0.556 (f) -0.05

Explanation:

(a) Profit (in $) = (increase in price per share of Harley-Davidson * number of Harley-Davidson shares held) - (decrease in price per share of Yahoo * number of Yahoo shares held)

= $90 - $60 = $30 increase in Harley Davidson and $25 - $15 =$10 decrease in Yahoo

= ($30*100) - ($10*300) = $0

(b) return on portfolio = return/capital invested * 100 = $0/($60 * 100 + $25 * 300) = $0/$13500 = 0%

(c) return on investment in Harley = return/capital invested in Harley * 100 = $30*100/$60*1000 = $3000/$6000 = 50%

(d) return on investment in Yahoo = return/capital invested in Yahoo * 100 = -$10*300/$25*300 = -$3000/$7500 = - 40% (negative rate of return)

(e) Weighting at the beginning of year (in decimals)

Harley Davidson = $60 * 100 units/ total invested ($60 * 100 + $25 * 300)

                            = $6000/$13500 = 0.444

Yahoo = $25 * 300 units/ total invested

           = $7500/$13500 = 0.556

(f) realized returns (as a decimal) of the portfolio = 0.444*50% + 0.556*-40%

                                                                                 = -0.0493728

                                                                                 = - 0.05 (to decimal places)

The basic principles of economics suggest that
spin [16.1K]

The answer is: C. government should become involved in markets when those markets fail to produce efficient or fair outcomes.

When left without regulations, many companies decided to do unfair business practice such as putting materials that dangerous for the consumers or giving their employees with unfair wages.

Because of this, government need to step in and make regulations to watch over the companies. (such as determining which materials would be safe as ingredients or creating legislation that regulate the minimum wages in the state)

Should shoe companies be able to give away free shoes and equipment to high school athletes?
zheka24 [161]
If this is an opinion question, then my answer would be that the companies should chose where their products are distributed. This can be based off of their product availability, company income, and other factors such as how well they sell their shoes. This can affect how able they are to supply shoes without generating money back from the schools.
