The Half life is the time taken for a radioisotope or a radioactive substance to decay by half its original amount. The half life of carbon 14 is 5600 years.
Original mass is 100%
Remaining amount is 24%
Therefore; 0.24 = 1 × (1/2)^n
n = log 0.24/log 0.5
= 2.06
therefore, the age of the fossil is 5600×2.06
= 11529.8
≈ 11529 years
Answer:
Moment=Force x Pivot
Explanation:
A moment is the turning effect of a force. Moments act about a point in a clockwise or anticlockwise direction.
Law of moments:
When an object is balanced (in equilibrium) the sum of the clockwise moments is equal to the sum of the anticlockwise moments.
How to calculate moments:
Moment=Force x Pivot
Actually, no. While their mass may be the same (1kg), the volume of lead is a lot smaller than that of feathers. As there is the same mass stuffed in a smaller space, it must be denser. The density of water is 1 g/cm3, so if the density of the lead is more than 1g/cm3, it has to sink
