What is the statement about carbon-14 dating?

Biology
1 answer:
lana [24]3 years ago
8 0

Answer:

The geologists cannot use carbon-14 to date ancient rocks because they are older than 50,000 years .Carbon dating can only be used if the substance is less than 50,000 years of age.As compared to the age of the ancient rocks the carbon-14 decays relatively quickly.Other substances like plants ,animals ,wood and leather ,etc can be dated by carbon-14 because they are younger than 50,000 years of age.Most of the rock of interest is older than this this range and hence geologists use different element which has longer half-life than that of carbon.

Planet x is 45 AUs from the sun. what is its period
Svetach [21]
Solar System[a] is the gravitationallybound system of the Sun and the objects that orbit it, either directly or indirectly,[b] including the eight planets and five dwarf planets as defined by the International Astronomical Union (IAU). Of the objects that orbit the Sun directly, the largest eight are the planets,[c]with the remainder being smaller objects, such as dwarf planets and small Solar System bodies. Of the objects that orbit the Sun indirectly—the moons—two are larger than the smallest planet, Mercury.[d]

The Solar System formed 4.6 billion years agofrom the gravitational collapse of a giant interstellar molecular cloud. The vast majority of the system's mass is in the Sun, with the majority of the remaining mass contained in Jupiter. The four smaller inner planets, Mercury, Venus, Earth and Mars, are terrestrial planets, being primarily composed of rock and metal. The four outer planets are giant planets, being substantially more massive than the terrestrials. The two largest, Jupiterand Saturn, are gas giants, being composed mainly of hydrogen and helium; the two outermost planets, Uranus and Neptune, are ice giants, being composed mostly of substances with relatively high melting points compared with hydrogen and helium, called volatiles, such as water, ammonia and methane. All eight planets have almost circular orbits that lie within a nearly flat disc called the ecliptic.

As a galaxy gets farther away from Earth, what happens?
Gemiola [76]
After the Big Bang happened, the universe is constantly expanding. The Universe has expanded for around 13.7 billion years. The further a galaxy is, the faster it would move away from Earth. This principle is called the conservation of momentum.
