Answer:
5730 years
Explanation:
The half life of carbon-14 is 5730 years. If 50% of the carbon-14 remains, then exactly 1 half life has passed.
The half-life equation is:
A = A₀ (½)^(t / T)
where A is the remaining amount,
A₀ is the initial amount,
t is time,
and T is the half life.
In this case, A = ½ A₀ and T = 5730.
½ A₀ = A₀ (½)^(t / 5730)
½ = (½)^(t / 5730)
1 = t / 5730
t = 5730

Answer:
IMA = 2.5 metres
EFFICIENCY = 80%
Explanation:
The AMA of a machine is referred to as the Actual Mechanical Advantage of a machine, calculated as the ratio of the output to the input force.
The Ideal Mechanical Advantage is the ratio of the input distance to the output distance.
From the diagram, the input distance which is also the distance moved by effort = 5metres
The load distance (output distance) = 2 metres
IMA = INPUT DISTANCE / OUTPUT DISTANCE
IMA = 5metres / 2 metres = 2.5 meters
Efficiency is the ratio of AMA TO IMA
AMA = 2, IMA = 2.5
EFFICIENCY = AMA / IMA
EFFICIENCY = (2 / 2.5) × 100%= 0.8 × 100%
EFFICIENCY = 80%
