How old is a bone if it still has 50% of its carbon-14 content?

Physics
1 answer:
Degger [83]2 years ago
6 0

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

A branch falls from a tree how fast is the branch moving after drug .28 seconds
alexdok [17]
Acceleration=9.81m/s^2
initial velocity=0m/s
time=.28s

We have to find final velocity.

The equation we use is

Final velocity=initial velocity+acceleration x time

Vf=0m/s+(9.81m/s^2)(.28s)
Vf=2.7468m/s

We would round this to:

Vf (final velocity)=2.7m/s

What is the difference between a mechanical wave and an electromagnetic wave
ivann1987 [24]

Answer:

1. Electromagnetic waves travel in a vacuum whereas mechanical waves do not.

2. The ripples made in a pool of water after a stone is thrown in the middle are an example of mechanical wave. Examples of electromagnetic waves include light and radio signals.

3. Mechanical waves are caused by wave amplitude and not by frequency. Electromagnetic Waves are produced by vibration of the charged particles.

4. While an electromagnetic wave is called just a disturbance, a mechanical wave is considered a periodic disturbance.

How dose an atom change if all of its electrons are removed
Anni [7]

Answer:

When all the electrons are removed from an atom, it becomes something as a positively charged particles also known as alpha particles.

<u>Explanation: </u>

The bare nucleus which is positively charged help in scattering experiments as it has high penetrating powers. <em>An atom is made up of electrons, protons and neutrons. We need huge energy to separate the electrons from their parent atom, still making it separated brings you a particle with a positive charge and only mass having high penetrating power. </em>
