A wooden artifact from a Chinese temple has a 14C activity of 41.0 counts per minute as compared with an activity of 58.2 counts

per minute for a standard of zero age. You may want to reference (Pages 913 - 916) Section 21.4 while completing this problem. Part A From the half-life for 14C decay, 5715 yr, determine the age of the artifact. Express your answer using two significant figures. t

Answer:

Explanation:

The relation between activity and number of radioactive atom in the sample is as follows

dN / dt = λ N where λ is disintegration constant and N is number of radioactive atoms

For the beginning period

dN₀ / dt = λ N₀

58.2 = λ N₀

similarly

41 = λ N

dividing

58.2 / 41 = N₀ / N

N = N₀ x .70446

formula of radioactive decay

N=N_0e^{-\lambda t }

.70446 =e^{-\lambda t }

- λ t = ln .70446 =   - .35

t = .35 / λ

λ = .693 / half life

= .693 / 5715

= .00012126

t = .35 / .00012126

= 2886.36

= 2900 years ( rounding it in two significant figures )

jolli1 [7]

Answer:

Decrease

Explanation:

If you crawl to the rim the rotational speed will decrease. The law of conservation of angular momentum supports this answer. And it states that :

"When the net external torque acting on a system about a given axis is. zero , the total angular momentum of the system about that axis remains constant."
