the half life of c14 is 5730 years. Suppose that wood found at an archeological excavation site contains about 35% as much C14 as does living plant material. Determine when the wood was cut

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

The wood was cut approximately 8679 years ago.

Step-by-step explanation:

At first we assume that examination occured in 2020. The decay of radioactive isotopes are represented by the following ordinary differential equation:

[tex]\frac{dm}{dt} = -\frac{m}{\tau}[/tex] (Eq. 1)

Where:

[tex]\frac{dm}{dt}[/tex] - First derivative of mass in time, measured in miligrams per year.

[tex]\tau[/tex] - Time constant, measured in years.

[tex]m[/tex] - Mass of the radioactive isotope, measured in miligrams.

Now we obtain the solution of this differential equation:

[tex]\int {\frac{dm}{m} } = -\frac{1}{\tau}\int dt[/tex]

[tex]\ln m = -\frac{1}{\tau} + C[/tex]

[tex]m(t) = m_{o}\cdot e^{-\frac{t}{\tau} }[/tex] (Eq. 2)

Where:

[tex]m_{o}[/tex] - Initial mass of isotope, measured in miligrams.

[tex]t[/tex] - Time, measured in years.

And time is cleared within the equation:

[tex]t = -\tau \cdot \ln \left[\frac{m(t)}{m_{o}} \right][/tex]

Then, time constant can be found as a function of half-life:

[tex]\tau = \frac{t_{1/2}}{\ln 2}[/tex] (Eq. 3)

If we know that [tex]t_{1/2} = 5730\,yr[/tex] and [tex]\frac{m(t)}{m_{o}} = 0.35[/tex], then:

[tex]\tau = \frac{5730\,yr}{\ln 2}[/tex]

[tex]\tau \approx 8266.643\,yr[/tex]

[tex]t = -(8266.643\,yr)\cdot \ln 0.35[/tex]

[tex]t \approx 8678.505\,yr[/tex]

The wood was cut approximately 8679 years ago.

Step-by-step explanation:

Well the expressions lie on a straight line so I know that both of the added together will equal 180.

So the equation looks like this-(x-1+2x+1=180)

So when I substitute 60 in the equation it looks like this-(60-1+2(60)+1=180)

Two people start walking at the same time in the same direction. One person walks at 8 mph and the other

person walks at 3 mph. In how many hours will they be 1.25 miles apart?

Answers

Answer:

0.25hours  

Step-by-step explanation:

Data

speed v1=8mph

speed v2=3mph

distance= 1.25

time t=?

speed= distance/time

distance=speed*time

1.25=8*t-3*t

1.25=8t-3t

1.25=5t

t=1.25/5

t=0.25hours

function f(x) has a slope of 3/2 and a y-intercept of 6. explain how the graph of f(x) could be used to find the x-intercept

Answers

Answer:

x - intercept = -4

Step-by-step explanation:

We are told the function f(x) has a slope of 3/2 and a y-intercept of 6.

From general line equation, the formula is; y = mx + c

Where m is the slope and c is the intercept.

Thus, the equation is;

f(x) = (3/2)x + 6

Now,to find the x-intercept on the graph, it will be at a point where f(x) = 0.

Thus let's put 0 for f(x) to find the x-intercept.

0 = (3/2)x + 6

(3/2)x = -6

x = -6 × 2/3

x = -4

Answer:

x=(x-4)

Step-by-step explanation:

Find the x-coordinate of the point that crosses the x-axis. The x-intercept is -4

Robinson's Doughnut Factory produces 21,600 doughnuts every day. They

have a fleet of 9 delivery trucks. If the doughnuts are divided evenly, how

many doughnuts will be loaded onto each truck?

Answers

Answer:

2400 doughnuts

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that,

Robinson's Doughnut Factory produces 21,600 doughnuts every day.

No. of delivery trucks = 9

We need to find the no of doughnuts will be loaded onto each truck. Let there are n doughnuts. It can be calculated by dividing 21,600 by 9.

So,

[tex]n=\dfrac{21600}{9}\\\\n=2400[/tex]

So, there are 2400 doughnuts that will be loaded onto each truck.

Point A is located at negative 6 over 8 and point B is located at negative 1 over 8. What is the distance between points A and B? negative 6 over 8 plus negative 1 over 8 = negative 7 over 8; therefore, the distance from A to B is absolute value of negative 7 over 8 equals negative 7 over 8 units negative 6 over 8 plus negative 1 over 8 = negative 7 over 8; therefore, the distance from A to B is absolute value of negative 7 over 8 equals 7 over 8 units negative 6 over 8 minus negative 1 over 8 = negative 5 over 8; therefore, the distance from A to B is absolute value of negative 5 over 8 equals negative 5 over 8 units negative 6 over 8 minus negative 1 over 8 = negative 5 over 8; therefore, the distance from A to B is absolute value of negative 5 over 8 equals 5 over 8 units

Answers

Given:

Point A is located at [tex]-\dfrac{6}{8}[/tex].

Point B is located at [tex]-\dfrac{1}{8}[/tex].

To find:

The distance between points A and B.

Solution:

We know that,

Distance between points A and B = Location of A - Location of B

Using this given values, we get

Distance between points A and B [tex]=-\dfrac{6}{8}-\left(-\dfrac{1}{8}\right)[/tex]

                                                        [tex]=-\dfrac{6}{8}+\dfrac{1}{8}[/tex]

                                                        [tex]=\dfrac{-6+1}{8}[/tex]

                                                        [tex]=-\dfrac{5}{8}[/tex]

Distance cannot be negative. So, we need to find the absolute value of [tex]-\dfrac{5}{8}[/tex].

[tex]|-\dfrac{5}{8}|=\dfrac{5}{8}[/tex]

The distance between A and B is [tex]\dfrac{5}{8}[/tex].

Therefore, the correct option is D.

Answers

Hi!

If its running low and every six hours it slows down half an hour, we need to divide 6  from 1/2 (or in another form if you have a regular calculator, 0.5).

6 divided by 1/2 is 12 (or , in decimal form).

So your answer would be: It will slow down 12 minutes every hour.

if angle 4 equals 50 degrees find the measure of angle 5 will mark brainiest​

Answers

Answer:

∠5 = 50°

Step-by-step explanation:

its alternate internal angles:

∠4 ≅ ∠5 (angle 4 is congruent or equal to alternate internal angle)

therefore,

∠5 = 50°

The measure of angle 5 should be considered as the 50 degrees when angle 4 should be equivalent to 50 degrees.

What is alternate internal angles?

Alternate interior angles should be created via intersecting the 2 parallel lines in a transversal way. It should be located that lies between the two parallel lines.

Since the given diagram shows the alternate internal angles

Since angle 4 is 50

So angle 4 should be congruent or equivalent to alternate internal angle)

So angle 5 should be 50 degrees.

(Assume the radius of the earth is 4,000 miles.) Give your answer as both an exact value and an approximation to three significant digits

Answers

Answer:

The answer is below

Step-by-step explanation:

Speed is the ratio of total distance travelled to total time taken to cover distance.

The radius of the orbit = radius of earth + height of satellite from earth = 4000 miles + 200 miles = 4200 miles

The total distance around the orbit = perimeter of orbit = 2π(radius of orbit) = 2π(4200) = 8400π miles

[tex]Speed=\frac{distance \ traveled}{time\ taken} =\frac{8400\pi\ miles}{6\ hours} =1400\pi\ miles/hour\\\\Distance \ traveled\ in \ 1\ hour=1400\pi\ miles/hour*1\ hour=1400\pi\ miles=4398.23\ miles\\\\Distance=4398\ miles[/tex]
