Apiece of charcoal used for cooking is found at the remains of an ancient campsite. a 1.09 kg sample of carbon from the wood has an activity of 2020 decays per minute. find the age of the charcoal. living material has an activity of 15 decays/minute per gram of carbon present and the half-life of 14c is 5730 y. answer in units of y.

t = 17199 years

Explanation:

given,

mass of sample = 1.09 Kg

Activity of living material   = 15 decays / min /g

Activity of living material   = 15 x 1000 decays /min /kg

Activity of living material per 1.09 kg A = 1.09 x 15 x 1000 decays / min

Activity of after time t is A ' = 2020

half life = 57300 years

desegregation constant

λ = 0.693 / 5700

taking ln both side

t = 17199 years

one person pulls 90n one way and the other has 100n pulling the other way.

so the net force = 90 - 100 = -10n,

or the ans can be 10n if the picture shows -90n and 100n instead.
