Assume that the rate of decay of a radioactive substance is proportional to the amount of the substance present. the half-life of a radioactive substance is the time it takes for one-half of the substance to disintegrate. carbon dating is often used to determine the age of a fossil. for example, a humanoid skull was found in a cave in south africa along with the remains of a campfire. archaeologists believe the age of the skull to be the same age as the campfire. it is determined that only 22% of the original amount of carbon-14 remains in the burnt wood of the campfire. complete parts (a) through (e) below. (a) estimate the age of the skull if the half-life of carbon-14 is about 5620 years the skull is about years old. round to the nearest whole number as needed.) (d) estimate the age of the skull if the half-life of carbon-14 is about 5610 years and 3% of the original amount of carbon-14 re e burnt the skull is about 28,380 years old round to the nearest whole number as needed.)

(a) assume the equation x = at^3 + bt describes the motion of a particular object, with x having the dimension of length and t having the dimension of time. determine the dimensions of the constants a and b. (use the following as necessary: l and t, where l is the unit of length and t is the unit of time.) (b) determine the dimensions of the derivative dx/dt = 3at^2 + b. (use the following as necessary: l and t, where l is the unit of length and t is the unit of time.)

Carbon is allowed to diffuse through a steel plate 15 mm thick. the concentrations of carbon at the two faces are 0.65 and 0.30 kg c/m^3 fe, which are maintained constant. if the preexponential and activation energy are 6.2 x 10-7 m2 /s and 80,000 j/mol, respectively, compute the temperature at which the diffusion flux is 1.43 x 10^-9 kg/m^2 -s.

Why is rain likely when warm, moisture-laden air meets cold air? a) the lighter warm air will rise and cool down, causing condensation and rain. b) the cold air moves faster and pushes the warm air away, causing condensation and rain. c) the moisture in the warm air condenses on contact with the cold air, causing rain to fall. d) the cold air mixes with the warm air, reducing its temperature causing moisture to condense.
