<h3>Answer:</h3>

81.9 grams

<h3>Explanation:</h3>

From the question we are given;

  • Half-life of C-14 is 5730 years
  • Original mass of C-14 (N₀) = 150 grams
  • Time taken, t = 5000 years

We are required to determine the mass left after 5000 years

  • Using the formula;
  • N = No(1/2)^t/T​, where N is the remaining mass, N₀ is the original mass, t is the time taken and T is the half-life.

   t/T = 5000 yrs ÷ 5730 yrs

    = 0.873

N = 150 g ÷ 0.5^0.873

   = 150 g × 0.546

   = 81.9 g

Therefore, the mass of C-14 left after 5000 yrs is 81.9 g

Imagine a moving boat making waves in the middle of a pool of water. Also, imagine two observers, one behind the boat and one in
Simora [160]
The person who is behind the boat will see much powerful and bigger waves than the person who is in front of the boat. This phenomenon is caused by the Doppler effect which describes the changes in the observed frequency of a wave whenever there is relative motion between the wave source and the observer.
