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

When measuring accelerations with three different graphs (x-t, v-t, a-t) which gives the most reliable results and why?
kipiarov [429]

Answer:

the best graph to find the acceleration is v-t since calculating the slope averages the different experimental errors.

Explanation:

The different graphics depending on time give various information, let's examine what we can get from some

Graph of x -t. from this graph we can obtain the speed through the slope, but the acceleration is not directly obtainable

v-t chart. We can get the acceleration not through the slope and the distance traveled by the area under the curve. Obtaining acceleration is very accurate since it is an average that avoids possible errors in measurements. This is the best graph to find the acceleration

Graph of a-t In this graph the acceleration is a point on the Y axis, it gives some errors because it depends strongly on the possible experimental errors.

In conclusion, the best graph to find the acceleration is v-t since calculating the slope averages the different experimental errors.
