How old is a bone that has 12.5 percent of the original amount of radioactive carbon

Physics

pav-90 [236]3 years ago
8 0

The solution would be like this for this specific problem:

 

T = 12.5%

Initial amount = 1

1*2^(-t/5730) = .125

 

\frac{-t}{5730} ln(2) = ln(.125)<span>


\frac{-t}{5730} = -3


\frac{-t}{5730} = \frac{ln(.125}{ln(2)}</span>

 

<span>t = -3 * -5730
t = 17,190 yrs</span>

 

<span>So, <span>a bone that has 12.5 percent of the original amount of radioactive carbon is 17,190 yrs old.</span></span>

Gre4nikov [31]
The correct answer is option A. i.e. An important thing to consider when responding to a driver in front of you that stops suddenly is: the mental state of the other driver.

Our talk or discussion can disrturb the balance of the driver or he can get distracted. So, we must try not to speak much while the driver is driving because by doing this we are putting the life of ourselves in danger. Any distrcaction of driver can cause accident.
