Answer:

c) 22,920 years

Explanation:

The half-life of C-14 is 5730 so in 5730 years , amount of C-14 is reduced to half.

In 5730 x 2  years , the amount of C-14 is reduced to 1/4 .

In 5730 x 3 years ,  the amount of C-14 is reduced to 1/8 .

In 5730 x 4 years ,  the amount of C-14 is reduced to 1/16 .

In 22920 years ,  the amount of C-14 is reduced to 1/16 .

So the answer is 22920 years.

What are the directions of movement for the Sagittarius, frontal, transverse planes ?
Dima020 [189]

Answer:

Squats involve flexion (forward motion) and extension (backward on the way up), so would fit into the sagittal plane. Frontal plane motion would include leaning from left to right as in sidebends and lateral raises, or perhaps you might picture jumping jacks for a good image of movement along the frontal plane.

8.D) B is Liquid , it’s freezing as energy is removed

9.A) Gas would change to vapour

10.B) Vaporisation

11. A) As temp increases energy of particles increase and substance changes from solid to liquid to gas

12. particles in a solid are more compact than in liquids and gases & solids maintain a fixed volume whereas liquids and gases are able to move more freely and their volume can change
