I believe it is C. I hope
The ground could sink and sink holes could occur, otherwise the parking lot could simply break apart and wear faster
Answer:9.18 m/s
Explanation:
The average speed for the entire trip is found ......total distance/total time. Remember r*t=d, so divide both sides by t and get r = d/t.
So the cyclist went 800+500+1200 m = 2500 m for total distance.
10t =800 leads to t=80 sec
5t=500 leads to t=100 sec
13t = 1200 leads to t = 92.3 sec
total time is 272.3 sec
Average speed for the entire trip is 2500 / 272.3 = 9.18 m/s
Carbon-14 is radioactive isotope of carbon.
Carbon is essential element of living cells. While the living cells are alive, the carbon contained in them are in equilibrium with the carbon in atmosphere. But, once the cell dies, the carbon-14 isotope undergoes radioactive decay. By measuring the carbon-14 in atmosphere to the carbon-14 in dead organism, we can calculate the time (or years) that organism have died.
However, carbon-14 dating technique is not accurate for estimating the age of materials older than 50,000 years old (above 40,000 years). This is because, 99% of carbon is carbon-12, 1% is carbon-13 and trace remaining is the carbon-14. This means, carbon-14 is found in very trace amount, in fact 1 part per trillion of carbon atoms present is carbon-14. The half of life of carbon-14 is 5,730 years. For dating the organism, we use the concept of half lives of the carbon-14 isotope in the dead organisms and calculate how many half life old the sample is. But as the years increases, the number of carbon-14 isotope becomes too low to detect and make accurate calculation.
This means, at some point the organism can simply run out of carbon-14.
Hence carbon-14 dating is not accurate for estimating age of materials older than 50,000 years old.
