An archeologist has found a fossilized leg bone of some unknown mammal. Based on the size of the bone, she determines that it should have contained about 100 g of carbon-14 when the animal was alive. Knowing that the half-life of carbon-14 is 5730 years, write an equation that will model how much carbon-14 is left in the bone now after "t" years.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

Therefore, required equation is N = 100 x [tex]2^{- \frac{t}{5730 }[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

According to the question it is given that

Amount of carbon atom when animal was alive is [tex]N_0[/tex] =  100g

Half life of C-14 is 5730 years

Let 'N' be the amount of carbon atom present after 't' time

since the differential equation of decay process of radioactive atom is

[tex]\frac{dN}{dt} = \lambda N[/tex] where, λ is the decay constant

on solving this we get

[tex]N = N_0 e^{-\lambda t}[/tex]

on further solving and substituting [tex]\lambda = \frac{ln2}{T_{1/2}}[/tex] we get

[tex]N = N_0 2^{- \frac{t}{T_{1/2}} }[/tex]

on substituting the value of  [tex]N_0[/tex] =  100g and [tex]T_{1/2}[/tex] = 5730 we get

N = 100 x [tex]2^{- \frac{t}{5730 }[/tex]

In ΔWXY, if m∠W is five less than three times m∠Y and m∠X is 8 more than m∠W, find the measures of each angles?

Answers

Answer:

∡W = 73°

∡X = 81°

∡Y = 26°

Step-by-step explanation:

let 'y' = measure angle Y

let '3y - 5' = measure of angle W

let '3y + 3' = measure of angle X

add all together and set equal to 180

y + 3y + 3y - 2 = 180

7y = 182

y = 26

substitute 26 for y in '3y+3' to find measure of angle X

substitute 26 for y in '3y-5' to find measure of angle W

Joelene goes to bed three hours after dinner. Yesterday, after dinner, she spent 1 ½ hour on her homework and ⅔ of an hour on the telephone. Home much time did she have left before bedtime?

Answers

Answer:

50 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

she spent 1 hr and 30 minutes on homework

she spends 2/3 of an hour on the phone = 40 minutes

1 hr 30 min + 40 minutes = 2 hrs and 10 min

so she had 50 minutes to kill before bedtime since she goes to sleep 3 hrs after dinner

2hr 10 min + 50 min = 3 hrs.

Terms/Coefficients

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Define

6x + 4 = 5x + 17 + 120

Step 2: Solve for x

Combine like terms:                    6x + 4 = 5x + 137Isolate x terms:                             x + 4 = 137Isolate x:                                       x = 133

Step 3: Check

Plug in x into the original equation to verify it's a solution.

Substitute in x:                    6(133) + 4 = 5(133) + 17 + 120Multiply:                               798 + 4 = 665 + 17 + 120Add:                                     802 = 682 + 120Add:                                     802 = 802

Here we see that 802 does indeed equal 802.

∴ x = 133 is the solution to the equation.

One student did an experiment of the rock cycle. The steps of the expirement are shown below what does the students experiment most likely demonstrate about the rock cycle

Answers

The given question is incomplete. The complete question is :

One student did an experiment on the rock cycle.

The steps of the experiment are shown below.

Collect five pieces of wax of different colors.

Use a plastic knife to scrape off thin shavings of the pieces of wax.

Pile the wax shavings of different colors one over the other.

Hold the pile of wax shavings in the palm and squeeze it for two to three minutes. Fold the pile and squeeze it in the palm again for a minute.

What does the student's experiment most likely demonstrate about the rock cycle?

a. Weathering can change igneous rocks into sediments.

b. Weathering can change metamorphic rocks into sediments.

c. Heat and pressure can change igneous rocks into metamorphic rocks.

d. Heat and pressure can change sedimentary rocks into metamorphic rocks.

Answer: Option D

Explanation: The rock cycle defines the conversion or transformation of igneous rock into sedimentary rocks and sedimentary rocks into metamorphic rocks. The conversion of rocks into these three forms is continuous.

The igneous rocks on weathering forms sediments which on cementation and compaction gets converted into sedimentary rocks. Then sedimentary rocks under tremendous heat and pressure gets converted into metamorphic rocks.

These processes takes millions of years to gets converted from one rock form to another.

Here, in the experiment wax shavings of different colors one upon another shows that they are sedimentary rocks and pressing it between palm or hand shows that heat and pressure is applied on it. This shows the conversion of sedimentary rocks into metamorphic rocks.

find the slope of the line through each pair of points (6, -10) , (-15 , 15)​

Answers

Answer:

[tex]\boxed{\boxed{\pink{\bf \leadsto The \ slope \ of \ the \ line \ is \ \dfrac{-25}{21}.}}}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Two points are given to us and we need to find the slope of the line . The slope of the line passing through points [tex]\bf (x_1,y_1 ) \ \& \ (x_2,y_2) [/tex] is given by ,

[tex]\qquad\boxed{\red{\bf Slope = tan\theta=\dfrac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}}}[/tex]

Here , the points are ,

( 6 , -10 )( -15 , 15 )

[tex]\bf\implies Slope = \dfrac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1} \\\\\bf\implies Slope =\dfrac{15-(-10)}{-15-6} \\\\\bf\implies Slope = \dfrac{15+10}{-21}\\\\\bf\implies Slope =\dfrac{-1(25)}{-1(-21)}\\\\ \bf\implies\boxed{\red{\bf Slope =\dfrac{-25}{21}}}[/tex]

Hence the slope of the line joining the two points is -25/21 .

Colette loves to get manicures with her mom. In the past year, however, her mom has had 5 manicures for every 3 Colette has had. If Colette's mom has had 4 more manicures than Colette in the past year, how many manicures has Colette had?

Answer:

Collette had 6 manicures done last year.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since Collette's mom has 67% more manicures than Collette (2 more for every 3), and that difference represented 4 manicures in total, then:

let x be the number of manicures that Collette had during last year.

4 / x = 2/3
