The patch area in square kilometers is 1.59*10⁻⁹ km₂

Why?

This is an unit conversion problem. We have to convert from cm² to km². We can do that by knowing that there are 100 cm in 1 m, and 1000 m in 1 km, so 100000 cm=1km. Knowing that we can apply the following conversion factor:

15.9 cm^{2} * (\frac{1 km}{100000 cm} )^{2}=0.00000000159 km^{2}

Now to convert this value to scientific notation, we have to move the decimal point to the right until we get a whole number, and the exponent of the number 10 is going to be the number of spaces we moved to the right (negative), so the final answer is:

0.00000000159 km^{2}=1.59*10^{-9} km^{2}

Have a nice day!

A very old tree limb contains an amount of carbon-14 that is approximately 1/8 of the current atmospheric 14C levels.. Calculate
Tomtit [17]

A.       The radioactive decay equation is N = N0e^{-ln(2)*t/T }

where T is the half-life (5730 years), N0 is the number of atoms at time t = 0 and N is the number at time t.

Rewriting this as:

(N/N0) = e^{-ln(2)*t/T }

Since N = (1/8) N0 and substituting known values:

1/8 = e^{-ln(2)*t/5730}

Taking ln of both sides:

ln(1/8)= -ln(2)*t/5730

t = - 5730 * ln(1/8) / ln (2)

t = 17,190 years

The tree was cut down 17,190 years ago.

B.   N0 = 1,500,000 carbon-14 atoms

Since N = (1/8) N0

N = 187,500 carbon atoms left
