Answer:

At the equinoxes, the sun rises directly east and sets directly west regardless of the latitude, thus making the azimuth angles 90° at sunrise and 270° at sunset. ... The azimuth angle is like a compass direction with North = 0° and South = 180°.

The sun rises directly east and sets directly west regardless of the latitude, thus making the azimuth angles 90° at sunrise and 270° at sunset. The reason is the tilt of Earth's axis of rotation with respect to the orbital plane.. l hope it helped :)

A wooden artifact from an ancient tomb contains 20 percent of the carbon-14 that is present in living trees. How long ago, to th

Answer:

The artifact was made approximately 13,306 years ago

Step-by-step explanation:

The half-life of Carbon-14 = 5730 years

The formula for radioactive decay is given by the equation:

$N=N_0 e^{- \lambda t}\\where:\\N = Number\ of\ particles\ at\ time\ t\\N_0= Number\ of\ particles\ at\ time\ t_0\\\lambda = decay\ constant = \frac{In}{t_{1/2}} ; t_{1/2} = half-life\\t = time\ in\ years$

The amount of Carbon-14 left = 20% = 20/100 = 0.2

$\therefore \frac{N}{N_0} = 20 \% = 0.2$

$N=N_0 e^{- \lambda t}\\\\dividing\ both\ sides\ by\ N_0\\\frac{N}{N_0} = e^{- \lambda t}\\0.2 = e^{- \lambda t}\\taking\ natural\ logarithm\ of\ both\ sides\\In 0.2 = Ine^{- \lambda t}\\In0.2 = -\lambda \times t\\but\ \lambda = \frac{In2}{t_{1/2}} \\\therefore In0.2 = -\lambda \times t\\\\= In0.2 = - \frac{In2}{t_{1/2}} \times t\\where\ t_{1/2} = 5730\ years\\-1.6094 = - \frac{0.6931}{5730} \times t\\-1.6094 = - 0.00012095 \times t\\t = \frac{-1.6094}{-0.00012095} \\t = 13,306.32$

t ≈ 13,306 years
