Answer:

See solution and explanation below

Explanation:

a) From;

N/No = (1/2)^t/t1/2

1/8 = (1/2)^t/1.25 * 10^9

(1/2)^3 =  (1/2)^t/1.25 * 10^9

3 = t/1.25 * 10^9

t = 3 * 1.25  * 10^9

t = 3.75 * 10^9 years

b)

N/No = (1/2)^40,110/5,730

N/No = (1/2)^7

N/No = 1/128

percentage remaining after 40,110 years = 1/128 * 100 = 0.78%

c) N/200 * 10^-9 = (1/2)^4.26 * 10^9/0.710 * 10^9

N/200 * 10^-9 = (1/2)^6

N/200 * 10^-9 = 1/64

64 N = 200 * 10^-9

N= 3.125 * 10^-9 g

d) Radiocarbon dating can not be used to determine the age of the solar system since the solar system is as old as the universe and was formed billions of years ago. Radiocarbon dating can only be accurately used to obtain the age of objects of plant or animal origin between 1000 - 10000 years old.

9. Which forces do scientists believe are responsible for the movement of Earth's
SIZIF [17.4K]
The main reason why the tectonic plates move is the conversational currents. There is magma between the upper mantle and the asthenosphere that heats up at the upper mantle. The weight is so small that the magma rises with the help of these conversational currents. When the magma has ascended towards the asthenosphere, it has nowhere to go so the magma lies along the asthenosphere. There the magma cools down again because the asthenosphere is colder than the upper mantle, which makes the magma heavier and goes back down to the upper mantle, where the magma heats up again and everything starts all over again and so it goes on over and over again. Scientists have concluded that the earth's gravity causes two other processes that also cause the tectonic plates to move.

Ridge push - in the spreading zones, the sides of the tiles are raised and slide to the side as in a slide.
Slab pull - when a plate is pulled down by gravity in a subduction zone like an anchor.
