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
In component form, the displacement vectors become
• 350 m [S] ==> (0, -350) m
• 400 m [E 20° N] ==> (400 cos(20°), 400 sin(20°)) m
(which I interpret to mean 20° north of east]
• 550 m [N 10° W] ==> (550 cos(100°), 550 sin(100°)) m
Then the student's total displacement is the sum of these:
(0 + 400 cos(20°) + 550 cos(100°), -350 + 400 sin(20°) + 550 sin(100°)) m
≈ (280.371, 328.452) m
which leaves the student a distance of about 431.8 m from their starting point in a direction of around arctan(328.452/280.371) ≈ 50° from the horizontal, i.e. approximately 431.8 m [E 50° N].
