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.

1. Amperes, is the SI unit (also a fundamental unit) responsible for current.

2. I = \frac{q}{t} Δq over Δt technically

Rearrange for Δq

I x Δt = Δq

1.5mA x 5 = Δq

Δq = 0.0075

Divide this by the fundamental charge "e"

Electrons: 0.0075 / 1.60 x 10^-19

Electrons: 4.6875 x 10^16 or 4.7 x 10^16

3.  So we know that the end resistances will be equal so:

ρ = RA/L

ρL = RA

ρL/A = R

Now we can set up two equations one for the resistance of the aluminum bar and one for the copper: Where 1 represents aluminum and 2 represents copper

\frac{p1L1}{A1}  = \frac{p2L2}{A2}\\

We are looking for L2 so we can isolate using algebra to get:

\frac{A2(\frac{P1L1}{A1}) }{P2} = L2

If you fill in those values you get 0.0205

or 2.05 cm

A restaurant records the number of tables served each night, and the results have the values: minimum = 3, lower quartile = 14,
dybincka [34]

To choose the correct box plot, verify each of the options and make sure all the values in the plot match the values provided.

<h3>How to identify the median?</h3>

In a box plot, this value is represented by a vertical line located in the middle of the graph.

<h3>How to identify the maximum and the minimum?</h3>

The maximum is the value located on the farthest right, while the minimum is located on the farthest left.

<h3>How to identify the quartiles?</h3>

Divide the graph into 4 and analyze how much each quartile represents.

What is the average speed for the entire graph?
Maru [420]

Answer:

Explanation:

Divide the total distance traveled by the total time spent traveling. This will give you your average speed. . So if Ben traveled 150 miles in 3 hours, 120 miles in 2 hours, and 70 miles in 1 hour, his average speed was about 57 mph.
