<h3><u>Answer;</u></h3>

= 11,460 years

<h3><u>Explanation;</u></h3>
  • <em><u>The half life of Carbon-14 is 5,730 years . Half life is the time taken by a radioactive material to decay by half of its original mass.  Therefore, it  would take a time of 5730 years for a sample of 100 g of carbon-14 to decay to 50 grams</u></em>

<em>The initial amount of carbon-14 in this case was 1 whole; thus; </em>

<em>1 → 1/2 →1/4</em>

<em>To contain 1/4 of the value, 2 half-lives have passed. </em>

<em>But, 1 half life = 5,730 years</em>

<em>Therefore; The artifact is is therefore: 2 x 5,730 </em>

<em>          = 11,460 years </em>

The half life of Carbon-14 is 5,730 years
To contain 1/4 of the value, 2 half-lives must have passed.
The artifact is: 2 x 5,730
= 11,460 years older than the atmosphere.

Which of the following is the most recent addition to the accepted model of the atom? (2 points) Atoms are indivisible particles
Georgia [21]
The accepted model of an atom was made by Schrodinger, which is known as the quantum mechanical model. Unlike Bohr's model, electrons are represented as a cloud and not small balls orbiting the nucleus. There is no define path of electrons in Schrodinger's model, but it can predict the odds of where an electron is located. 

The answer to your question is then Electrons form a cloud around the nucleus.

Explain why the Earth is constantly undergoing change? *
ElenaW [278]

Real quick, I will tell you why i think it does from a scientific point of veiw, but I dont know for sure.

The reason that the Earth goes through so much change on a regular basis is because of Gravity. What Gravity is doing is pulling objects to the Earth that it can reach (Which you probably knew) and so when it does this, it is pulling at the earths surface as well, causing constant change.

I hope this helps you!
