Answer:

B. 17,190 (A P E X)

Explanation:

If the half-life of carbon-14 is 5730 years then for every 5730 years the original amount of the carbon-14 is cut in half. So if it originally started at 100% when it was new then in 5730 years it would drop to 50%. After that, every 5730 years it drops to 25% and then 12.5% and so on.

LiRa [457]

Answer:

R = 5.73 m

Explanation:

For an angle of rotation through 21 degree we know that

arc length is given as

angle \times Radius = Arc

now we know that

Arc = 2.1 m

Angle = 21 degree

Angle = 21\times \frac{\pi}{180}

so now we have

21\times \frac{\pi}{180} = \frac{2.1}{R}

R = \frac{2.1 \times 180}{21 \times \pi}

R = 5.73 m
