Carbon 14 is a radioactive isotope produced in the upper atmosphere by cosmic rays. It has a half-life measured as 5730 : 40 years. Since plants and animals absorb carbon from the atmosphere, the percentage of carbon a living organism contains that is carbon 14 is equal to the percentage of carbon 14 in the atmosphere. When an organism dies, however (or when a layer of wood is laid down as bark in a tree), it ceases to absorb carbon....

(2 points) The radioactive isotope carbon-14 is present in small quantities in all life forms, and it is constantly replenished until the organism dies, after which it decays to stable carbon-12 at a rate proportional to the amount of carbon-14 present, with a half-life of 5592 years. Suppose C(t) is the amount of carbon-14 present at time t. (a) Find the value of the constant k in the differential equation C' =-kC. k= (b) In 1988 three teams of scientists...

Question 4: Carbon dating (3 points) Archaeologists use the exponential, radioactive decay of carbon-14 to estimate the death dates of organic material. The stable form of carbon is carbon-12, and the radioactive isotope carbon-14 decays over time into nitrogen-14 and other particles. Carbon is naturally in all living organisms, and the carbon-14 that forms in the upper atmosphere enters into living things as long as they are taking in material (food, air, etc.) that contains carbon. We...

The amount of carbon-14 present in animal bones after t years is given by P(t) = Poe -0.00012! A bone has lost 36% of its carbon-14. How old is the bone? The bone is years old. (Round to the nearest integer as needed.)

If a radioactive isotope has half-life h, then the number of atoms in a sample is given by a(t)=a-2-/h where ao gives the number of atoms in the sample at time 0. The radio active decay of carbon-14 leads to clever way of determining the age of fossils and remnants of plants and animals. When an organism dies, the radioactive carbon- 14 in it decays, with half of it gone in 5,730 years. a. Suppose a mummified cat has a...

Calculate the percent activity of the radioactive isotope iridium-192 remaining after two half-lives. activity: While exploring a coal mine, scientists found plant fossils which had been preserved by an earthquake in the ceiling of the mine. Samples taken from one of the fossils had carbon-14 activities of 40.0 counts/min. A reference sample of the same size from a plant alive today has a carbon-14 activity of 160.0 counts/min. If carbon-14 has a half-life of 5730 years, what is the age...

Carbon 14(c) dating assumes that the carbon dioxide on Earth today has the same radioactive content as it did centuries ago. If this is true, the amount of 14c absorbed by a tree that grew several centuries ago should be the same as the amount of absorbed by a tree growing today. A piece of ancient charcoal contains only 14% as much radioactive carbon as a plece of modern charcoal. How long ago was the tree burned to make the...

The amount of carbon 14 remaining in a sample that originally contained A grams is given by C(t) = A(0.999879)t where t is time in years. If tests on a fossilized skull reveal that 99.89% of the carbon 14 has decayed, how old, to the nearest 1,000 years, is the skull? HINT [See Example 4.] _____ yr
