Scientists found a fossilized bone from an organism at an excavation site in North Dakota. When they took the bone back to the lab, they realized that the bone had only 12.5% of the total carbon-14 left. Based on the amount of carbon-14 left in the bone how old is the bone if the half-life of carbon-14 is 5730 years? A) 5730 years old B) 17,190 years old C) 71,625 years old D) Cannot determine answer based on information given.

1point) a skydiver weighing 130 lb (including equipment) falls vertically downward from an altitude of 14,000 ft and opens the parachute after 20 s of free fall. assume that the force of air resistance, which is directed opposite to the velocity, is of magnitude 0.85|v|0.85|v| when the parachute is closed and is of magnitude 17|v|17|v| when the parachute is open, where the velocity vv is measured in ft/s. assume that acceleration due to gravity has magnitude 32 ft/s/s; remember that weight is the product of mass and gravitational acceleration. find the speed of the skydiver when the parachute opens. speed is 150.6121788 ft/s find the skydiver's height when the parachute opens. height is 2338.98591 ft find the limiting velocity vlvl after the parachute opens. (think about whether this should be positive or negative.) vl=vl= 7.647 ft/s
