<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>.

PLEASE HELP!!! 20 PIONTS!!!
timama [110]

Answer:

Transverse waves are always characterized by particle motion being perpendicular to wave motion. A longitudinal wave is a wave in which particles of the medium move in a direction parallel to the direction that the wave moves.

Explanation:

The movement of the medium is different. In the longitudinal wave, the medium moves left to right, while in thee transverse wave, the medium moves vertically up and down. Longitudinal waves have a compression and rarefaction, while the transverse wave has a crest and a trough. Longitudinal waves have a pressure variation, transverse waves don't have pressure variation. Longitudinal waves can be propagated in solids, liquids and gases, transverse waves can only be propagated in solids and on the surfaces of liquids. Longitudinal waves have a change in density throughout the medium, transverse waves don't.

a 2.0-mole sample of an ideal gas is gently heated at constant temperature 330 k. it expands from initial volume 19 l to final v
shutvik [7]
Isothermal Work =  PVln(v₂/v₁)

PV = nRT =  2 mole * 8.314 J/ (k.mol) * 330 k = 5487.24 J

Isothermal Work =  PVln(v₂/v₁)            v₂ = ? v₁ = 19L, 

1.7 kJ = (5487.24)In(v₂/19)

1700 = (5487.24)In(v₂/19)

In(v₂/19) = (1700/5487.24) = 0.3098

In(v₂/19) = 0.3098

(v₂/19) = e^{0.3098}


v₂  =  19* e^{0.3098}

v₂ = 25.8999

v₂ ≈ 26 L        Option b.

Betelgeuse is how many times larger than the sun
Aleksandr-060686 [28]
Betelgeuse is one of the largest known stars and is probably at least the size of the orbits of Mars or Jupiter around the sun. That's a diameter about 700 times the size of the Sun or 600 million miles. For a star it has a rather low surface temperature (6000 F compared to the Sun's 10,000 F).
