<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>.

A car slows from 27 m/s to 5 m/s with a constant acceleration for 6.87 s. What is the car’s acceleration?
Kobotan [32]

In this case, the movement is uniformly delayed (the final rapidity is less than the initial rapidity), therefore, the value of the acceleration will be negative.

1. The following equation is used:

a = (Vf-Vo)/ t

a: acceleration (m/s2)

Vf: final rapidity (m/s)

Vo: initial rapidity (m/s)

t: time (s)

2. Substituting the values in the equation:

a = (5 m/s- 27 m/s)/6.87 s

3. The car's acceleration is:

a= -3.20 m/ s<span>^2</span>
