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

Name TWO WEAKNESSES of the model pictured below
Nikolay [14]

Answer:

Here are a few:

1) The orbital radius of these planets is ridiculously small an in no way representative of their actual radii.

2) The planets will only line up like that once every 5200 years, making this very unrepresentative of their usual relations - although this does make their order in distance from the sun.

3) The nebulae, comet, lens flare,  and other junk in the background is incorrect.

4) If this is meant as a representation of the planets, then Pluto should not be there as it is now considered a planetoid.

5) The planets are incorrectly scaled both to each other and to the sun.

A wave traveling in a string has a wavelength of 35 cm, an amplitude of 8. 4 cm, and a period of 1. 2 s. What is the speed of th
AlekseyPX

0.29 m/s (wave velocity = wavelength (lamda)/period (T) in metres)

35 / 1.2 = 29.16

29.16 ÷ 100 = 0.29

Wave velocity in string:

The properties of the medium affect the wave's velocity in a string. For instance, if a thin guitar string is vibrated while a thick rope is not, the guitar string's waves will move more quickly. As a result, the linear densities of the two strings affect the string's velocity. Linear density is defined as the mass per unit length.

Instead of the sinusoidal wave, a single symmetrical pulse is taken into consideration in order to comprehend how the linear mass density and tension will affect the wave's speed on the string.

What is the difference between resilience and modulus of resilience
pshichka [43]
<span>Resilience is the amount of energy that can be put into a volume of material and still be stored elastically. ie When the energy goes away, the material regains its undeformed shape. The Mod of R is the amount that can be stored by a unit volume of that material. The Mod of R is heavily related to Youngs Modulus.</span>
