<h3><u>Answer;</u></h3>

Carbon-14 levels in a sample are undetectable after approximately 9 half lives

<h3><u>Explanation;</u></h3>
  • <em><u>The half life of Carbon-14 is 5,730 years . Half life is the time taken by a radioactive material to decay by half of its original mass.  Therefore, it  would take a time of 5730 years for a sample of 100 g of carbon-14 to decay to 50 grams</u></em>
  • <em><u>A period of 50,000 years, is equivalent to; </u></em>

<em><u>  50,000÷5,730 </u></em>

<em><u>= 8.73 half lives</u></em>

<em>Which is approximately equal to 9 half lives.</em>

  • Therefore, if the age of an object older than 50,000 years cannot be determined by radiocarbon dating, then <em><u>Carbon-14 levels in a sample are undetectable after approximately 9 half lives</u></em>.

2. What biotic and abiotic factors might influence the wolf and moose population numbers? List 1 biotic factors 1 abiotic factor
Ulleksa [173]

Answer:

Abiotic - sun Biotic- Plants

Water supply, climate, shape of the land, vegetation, soils and availability of natural resources.

Explanation:

Abiotic means non living so the sun is non living. The sun gives us warmth and the ability to survive

Biotic means alive or living- plants are living and give off oxygen and take in carbon to help us live  umm ok

Positive electric charge Q is distributed uniformly throughout the volume of an insulating sphere with radius R.From the express
AlladinOne [14]

Answer:

Vb = k Q / r        r <R

Vb = k q / R³ (R² - r²)    r >R

Explanation:

The electic potential is defined by

             ΔV = - ∫ E .ds

We calculate the potential in the line of the electric pipe, therefore the scalar product reduces the algebraic product

             VB - VA = - ∫ E dr

Let's substitute every equation they give us and we find out

r> R

           Va = - ∫ (k Q / r²) dr

           -Va = - k Q (- 1 / r)

We evaluate with it Va = 0 for r = infinity

          Vb = k Q / r        r <R

         

We perform the calculation of the power with the expression of the electric field that they give us

           Vb = - int (kQ / R3 r) dr

  We integrate and evaluate from the starting point r = R to the final point r <R

         Vb = ∫kq / R³ r dr

         Vb = k q / R³ (R² - r²)

This is the electric field in the whole space, the places of interest are r = 0, r = R and r = infinity
